There is nothing stopping Siri from doing that. If he is a LB how can he play on offense? Because he has no set position,it's just a label. He can be a FB, a lead blocker whatever, wherever. Seems simple to meTake a look at the video of his snaps from Jimmy Kempski’s article profiling him. Based on those snaps, what do you think of his blocking?PhillyVoiceEagles player review: FB Ben VanSumeren editionMoving to a modern fullback role could make best use of the third-year pro's athleticism, speed and ... hands?

I need to pay more attention to how they use him this year. (and I will do that). Joe said he was a good ST player. The ST game fell off for me with all the rule changes. Not alot to see anymore. I get the player safety angle, but they took all the fun out of them. As a "FB" it would be nice to see him with the ball in his hands. We and most other HS teams had FB's back then, but the position disappeared as "regular" RB's got heavier and stronger, so why not just call him a RB?Look at those vids again. A lot of his blocking is pretty bad. His movement skills and quickness is outstanding, but his engagement of the Defender he is assigned to block is weak at best. Think about Nolan Smith in the Super Bowl engaging the Chiefs’ OG. That is what BVS ideally should be doing to the player he is targeting.

TE engaging in a longer block ..holding it... much different.
June 25, 20251 yr Shunderrick Powell I’m thinking will be our return man. That fourth RB….making it tougher to keep a FB on the roster.

June 25, 20251 yr 56 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:so 2 plays with wide open holes in a minor league on grainy vids has you convinced? 🤣Seen much more than that. This guy could work for us as a fourth RB we maybe get involved some. Return man plus get him a YAC Creation play a quarter.

June 25, 20251 yr Just now, GreenbleedinNC said:VanSumerins strength is his ST blocking ability. It would be hard to lose that. I don't see VS used on offense muchProbably not sticking
June 25, 20251 yr Just now, GreenbleedinNC said:IDK I'd have to check,but we got Avery WIlliams from ATL fromthose dutiesWe have Shunderrick for that…maybe
June 25, 20251 yr 3 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:I posted a vid to your PM is your grandson in that vid of Powell?Yeah #38 Videos are pretty grainy but at 250 he's pretty good at collapsing the DE
June 25, 20251 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said:We have Shunderrick for that…maybeShipley and Shunderrick on KOs. DeJean on P. But could possibly keep Covey on as PR.
June 25, 20251 yr 1 minute ago, GreenbleedinNC said:Well if he beats out Williams I have NP with it, but Avery is a WR,so he could fill whatever role we had for CoveyI’d keep Covey
June 25, 20251 yr 6 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:I hope he gets more exposure in Louisiana so the Eagles can draft him later 😁If he'd get drafted you'll hear me scream in NC
June 25, 20251 yr 8 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:I hope he gets more exposure in Louisiana so the Eagles can draft him later 😁The first thing he noticed was the attitude of the coaches at Central Arkansas changed from when he was recruited to after he had signedNot the case at Northwestern Louisiana. The coaches stayed the same throughout the process
June 25, 20251 yr 53 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:Does he like playing TE or DE more?I think TE but he did enjoy the contact of the D lineI didn't know this but my son told me this weekend that he received an offer from Alabama to walk on. No scholarship.He's pretty realistic though. He knows chances are when his college career is over his football will probably be done too. BUT there are quite a few FCS players in the NFLRight now he's focusing on his route running. But like i said mis measurables are similar to Ertz did at his combine
June 25, 20251 yr 10 hours ago, GreenbleedinNC said:Well they keep changing his positions. He is all over the map which makes him mediore everywhereNot really... he was LB...halfway through the season they added snaps at FB. Not really complicated? Why do you seem to want to make it so?
June 25, 20251 yr 5 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:I'm not, what is complicated about him possibly blocking for Calc if Goedert goes down? I don't see any tough words in there? Why is this "complicated" ?Why wouldn't he block " for Calc" with Goedert...why does Goedert have to be out? You are trying to add all these scenarios... the guy played FB. That's it on offense. That is what they used him for. Not complicated...nothing to do with " Calc"
June 25, 20251 yr 23 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:If Godert gets injured you are going to play him anyway?If he is the FB... on plays where they use one...he would play.... regardless of who is at TE. Why is it complicated?
June 25, 20251 yr 22 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:Yes a FB would be a great lead blocker for a TE 2 who is NOT a TE1. Not complicated at allFB is a lead blocker for the RB... regardless of who is playing TE.
