<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: sup-rbeast</div><div class="ubbcode-body">IMO, Cantrell would make a heck of a FB with Pinkston and Martin running behind him...especially in a T. But, PV needs to find a way to get Cantrell the ball...he's a heck of a player. I'd hate to see him in a position on O where he couldn't get a few touches per game. And, they need to load up one side of the line with their best O-linemen so they can get "guaranteed" yards on that side, and run the other side of the line as a change of pace. A good solid run game would take alot of pressure of the QBs and D. </div></div>
I agree, but try and convince the coach on that one. I have talked to him about similiar things and he just laughs.I would love to see all 3 of them in the backfield.But he would make an heck of a guard if he is not going to allow him to run any. Heck put him at TideEnd and get the ball to him in the open field.
At TE there is no one can get him the ball. I've seen some good skill guys make good linemen as well. Shawne Bowman was one..went from FB to G and was excellent. Shows how unselfish players can be when they are willing to do that.

Well right now coach presented it to him and he is not happy about it. Sometimes sacrifices need to be made to better the team. I do agree though that he is a good running back and a good blocker at the same time.
If he was lined up beside PV's best OG and OT as a TE, the could run the piss outta the ball. All they'd have to do is have the covered Linemen block the guy in front of em, the linemen that are uncovered block down, and kick out the end with the FB. That is just a basic play, but that is all they need at this point.

I agree fully.We wil see if Coach utilizes his players to the fullest or if he allows the player to dictate whether he will do it or not.
I don't care who playes where as long as they keep puttin some W's up.

We stand a good chance tonight. Our D wil hopefully keep us in the game. If we just get some blocks we can run the ball well.My point was as COACH it is imparitive that they make decsions that will benefit the team as a whole.
At the same time, when you move a kid from a skill position to the line, it does no good if the kid isn't willing to play as hard there as he did at his previous position. It takes a special player to make that move..but they are usually more athletic than linemen who have never played nothing but the line. PV's players all just need to realize that none of them are bigger than the team, and that if they all pull together, they will find some success...both this year and next. They have the tools, now they just have to maintain some heart and desire...regardless of where each of em individually line up.
