BUCCANEERS SELECT FB DRAKE DUNSMORE

[Booker Reese]

Don't really see a guy who admits he's not a great blocker as a FB. Screams H-Back to me.

[Dolorous Jason]

I still think Dunsmore is going to be used as a TE mostly. We're going to be a power running team so why would we be screwing around with an  H -Back ?

The guy Cody Johnson we picked up was good enough to be drafted as a fullback , and he is a true fullback. I think there's a good chance he becomes the starter.

[JDouble]

Don't know much about Cody Johnson, but I see he is 5'11" 250lbs which is perfect.

Dunsmore is 6'3" 235lbs.....doens't sound like a FB to me. Lorig is 6'4" 270lbs....also not a FB. I think Robert Hughes (5'10" 235lbs) will be competing with this Cody Johnson guy for the FB spot. Lorig and Dunsmore are TEs going forward.

Agreed , although I think Lorig has a great chance of being cut . He's never been very good and he's injury prone to boot.

Lorig looked really good at TE imo. He's 100x better blocking at the line as a TE than than he is in the backfield as a FB. Plus he showed really soft hands when he was thrown too. I think if you looked up the definition of a Schiano type guy you's see Lorig. I wouldn't count him out.

Did you guys (Jdub and Dj) check the Malcom Brown youtube clip with Cody lead blocking? Good stuff, heading into last year cbssports had Johnson as the #1 FB in the nation.

[JDouble]

Haven't seen it yet, but thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

[JDouble]

This one? Watching #11 he looks ok. Not blown away or anything.

[BucsBay]

Block at 4:15 is big time. Cody will have a chance to unseat Ninja Turtle Lorig this year.

[3rd String Kicker]

If they put Lorig on the line to block, I'll probably kill a small, defenseless puppy. He's downright terrible blocking on the line. Maybe that will change under Schiano, but the few times I saw him blocking on the line, it didn't end well. He did well blocking out of the backfield in my opinion.

   I did see where Dunsmore has bulked up to 245 in anticipation of needing the extra weight. Yeah, his route running apparently is extremely good, as are his hands, so situational H-Back looks like a good use for his skillset.
Never saw Lorig blocking on the line, but he was decent in the backfield, and yes, I noticed the good hands too, and the ability to catch the ball w/o breaking stride.
I TRUST Schiano will find a role for him, as both are football mentalities! I suspect another FB will find his way onto the final roster, as Dunsmore probably is more valuable as a receiver than fulltime blocker...

You could be right, but I'd point out that the Redskins and Titans were power running teams and used Chris Cooley and Frank Wycheck as H-backs.

[JavaRay]

I want to pick up a Drake Dunsmore authentic jersey.   What number is he?

Great point.

He can be used like Hernandez move him around. TE is not how it use to be guys get moved and don't always have to be on the line.
