Fullback was once a full participant in an NFL offense.
They were players who could run, catch and block. The halfbacks in a backfield represented the speed and the fullbacks the power.
Jim Brown was the prototype NFL fullback. He won eight rushing titles in his nine-year career with the Cleveland Browns. The one year he missed, 1962, Green Bay fullback Jim Taylor claimed the crown. Both Brown and Taylor now have busts in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Alan “The Horse” Ameche and Rick Casares won NFL rushing titles in the 1950s as fullbacks. Cookie Gilchrist and Jim Nance won a pair of AFL rushing crowns apiece, then Larry Csonka emerged as the battering ram fullback for the two-time Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins in the early 1970s.

I think the way this season has gone should raise a lot of questions about Khan s football knowledge. You often talk about how the national media doesn t know as much about this team as the people who follow it more closely. By this logic, nobody should know more about them than the people in the building (Khan/Caldwell/Marrone). But all three of them thought this team could compete this year when nobody outside of the team thought this would be the case. If Caldwell and Marrone knew what was coming this season (and it s hard to believe they didn t, especially based on your logic), then they somehow convinced Khan this team could be good. That doesn t bode well for the future of the Jags with Khan at the helm. This was a completely wasted season because he didn t realize this team would be bad when almost everyone else did.
