You heard that Michael Robinson is fighting for the starting fullback spot? What a change that is going from an option quarterback to a starting fullback in two years.
I was about to say that too, that Battle should be our Randle El.

Robinson's going to love it. He's a pretty big guy. Well maybe I'm just saying that because Gore is so small. But he looks like Leftwich running the ball because he seems so big. But FB would be great. Moran Norris is decent, but I think Mike can be better.
Since were on the topic of other players that don't start... what do you think about Shawntae Spencer? From starter, to CB2, and now nickel back with the addition of Clements.
Well, part of the reason that Gore had such a good year last year is that Moran Norris is a great run blocker. He just carves a way through that even I can run through!!!

Well... maybe not...
Shawntae is not a starter. I didnt like him as a starter, and he underperforms. I see him as a great blitzing corner on the nickle from the QB's blindside as he hits hard. He can also shut down a team's number three option at reciever, but he needs to have a good year this year, or he will be gone.
Really? I always thought it was because of Larry Allen. Most of his runs went through the left side. No one, and I mean NO ONE could touch Gore if he ran behind the two big fellas on the left. Jennings and Allen kicked as$.
Shawntae had an impressive hit when he blitz from the corner during the Lions/Niners game. Kitna had to get knocked in some type of way because he was blind sided so bad.
How's about... Mark Roman? Is he going to switch to FS? Or is Keith Lewis starting there? Roman's a SS, but since Michael Lewis is here, I don't know what he's going to do.
Also, thoughts on Brandon Williams, the 4th rounder out of Wisconsin from last years draft? He was decent on the returns. Never really saw him lineup in the slot though. And also... Maurice Hicks? He had one good game, and that was against the Rams back in 05-06.
