    A fourth round pick is very little value. You use one an a fullback and if you hit you won't need to look for a FB for 12+ years. Hes looking solid so far.

    Besides Lo Neal (or as they call him on his Bay Area sports radio station out here, Lo-Lo) of course he's #1

    But who is the next best Titan FB of all time?

    Only one I can think of is Ahmard Hall the Marine

    Hall was pretty good. Fowler will be better.

    Fowler was a great pick, we just need to use him more............. A lot more!

    He is one of only 3 draft picks from a year ago still on the team. 1 of them is on the PS and the other 5 are gone. Fowler has outlasted 2 of the 4 people taken ahead of him.

    That alone makes him a quality pick.

    Fowler is getting middle of the pack type of burn for a FB, I think he's better than most so I wouldn't mind seeing him involved a little more. 73 snaps for him to this point isnt enough..

    I think he is at 15%, should be over 25%

    What's the thinking about not using him for a lead blocker for DM? By not having him there it gives DM more room to operate and pick holes?

    The like TEs because of receiving a to help the OL look better than they are when pass blocking. It is not related to the run game.

    But they are bringing Kelly in instead of TE now, so how does that work? They know he isn't going to catch a pass, but Fowler might.

    I would assume the double TE sets over FB are for exploitation of hat counts. If you are in a strong formation with TE on strong side you are gonna face a stack or be running to a side who still won't have enough blockers for the count.

    2 TE allows the Titans to turn the run play to either side based on the hat count allowing for full exploitation of D formations.
