why so hard on this strapping young lad?
Coach, only lie to the GOOD players
An H-Back, also known as F-Back is an offensive position in American football that is a hybrid between a fullback and a tight end. One team that prominently utilizes the H-back position is the Washington Redskins under head coach Joe Gibbs, who is one of the first coaches to use the positions. Gibbs is credited for revolutionizing the position. The F-Back name is used in Norv Turner's offensive system.Unlike the tight end, which Gibbs uses almost exclusively as an extra blocker on the offensive line, the H-back is asked to block, pass protect, and run receiving routes from multiple sets. The H-back can line up in the backfield, on the line, or is put into motion. On one play, he may be asked to serve as lead blocker for the tailback. The next, he may be sprinting 15 yards downfield to catch a pass. Due to the complexity of the position, a thorough knowledge of the offense is desirable in an H-back.

Not trying to say that I know more than Prince, but I really don't want us to have a 6'4'' white running back.QuoteYou've been hanging around BMW too long.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_backQuoteAn H-Back, also known as F-Back is an offensive position in American football that is a hybrid between a fullback and a tight end.
