Good point.

Another reason:

Hall can play an emergency TE role, Kuhn operates as a short yardage back.

(And both ST studs).

I wouldnt be surprised to be Havner cut with these guys sticking.

I don't think you could call any of those guys studs.

I don't know. Hall and Kuhn where bright spots. So was Bush. You can call them studs, just as much as you can call Woodson and Collins studs on a horrible 2008 defense.

Anyway, I agree. I think that one use for keeping these 3 FBs is to use a couple of run heavy packages. Just look at last year. Grant went something around 4.1-4.4 YPC with a FB in there and 2.9 without. We nearly didn't use the wishbone formation, out of which he ran pretty effectively in 2007.

As from what I've seen, all of our fullbacks have different strengths, which really helps our offense to be versatile. Even with a FB or two in the line-up. Jackson and Kuhn are great blockers. Kuhn can pound the rock on short yardage. Hall is a pretty decent receiver. Jackson is just brutal and should get us quite a few pancakes and running lanes.

I really thought that Kuhn would be the odd man out here. I like what they're doing, though. Little old-school.

I still haven't been able to put a finger in why they decided to keep 3 FBs. Unitl today. When a possibility popped into my head. One of Kuhn or Hall is a roster spot place holder. Meaning, they know that Quinn is going to be able to play fairly soon. So they keep 3, only playing Kuhn and Hall until Quinn is ready to go. At which point they will cut one of the other two, making room for a late addition to the team.

I just can't figure out why people are making a big deal out of keeping the best players. Kuhn and Hall arr part of the best 45. Johnson isn't but he showed huge potential so they kept him too.

I just don't understand why people see this as a big deal.

I just it much bigger deal they kept Wynn over Sutton. And kept Rouse on the 53 man roster (at least for a while) and cut Smith.

Apparently the three-fullback set is not ideal for punt formations :

concerned that he may kick one in the butt. This needs to be rectified

It's very possible. I'm not sure Quinn will be ready to play this season.

I can't see them carrying all three. Why not? Why cut two (Kuhn/Hall)of the better players and leaders on ST? Also why cut an up and coming good player (Johnson)?

Why not keep the best players? I'm glad they did when it came to the FBs.
