FB/TE/OL/DL Chris Elmore is returning

[creatorsgam]

Big piece in my opinion.

Literally and figuratively.

 

[TexanMark]

What’s his best playing weight as FB? Wonder how he’s going to have to build his body in the off-season to go into the backfield.

I hope Dino is playing him in the position most likely to earn him a paycheck for 5-10 years in the NFL.

You really think Elmore has a future in the NFL as a 5’10 DT?

 

[TexanMark]

Yo my bad. Super not PC of me, Bro.

You don't need to apologize...most people realize what you were quoting.

I doubt it but Dino thinks he has a chance on a roster

If he has a shot. It’s at the position he’s at.

wooof, went super far over his head.

Yes it did but I don't watch many movies. However, a lot of people just like me would take it differently which is unfortunate.

If we could get into a time machine and return him to his freshman year, knowing what we know now, would the coaching staff have put him at one position and stuck with that?

Or is/was his athleticism and durability such that he was always going to be considered for multiple roles?

I was always under the impression that his best attribute was his versatility. That he wasn’t particularly outstanding at any one position but good at all. Although I will say his game against ND at FB was outstanding IMO.

FB/TE/OL/DL
He's a Swiss Elmore Knife, or if you prefer, a Chris Army Knife.

If I had access to a time machine that’s not what I would use it for

If Dino has a brain in his head he will scrap the weak captain by game BS and name Kingsley, Serv, and Rhino captains for next year. Team needs leadership.

Would you go to the prom with your mother instead?

You don't need a "C" sewn on your jersey to be a leader.

Sounds (appropriately I might add) a lot like:

It’s not just a full back position. Elmore allows them a lot of formational versatility. He is in the game for 11, 12, 21 and 22 personnel. ( which could be a fullback or TE role). It makes teams have to decide what defensive personnel they want to use and how many players they want to commit to the box. Staying 4 or 5 wide makes you very predictable. This is a veer and shoot offense. You can’t have the power run element staying in 4/5 Wr sets. There’s nothing Elmore provides that the current DL can’t do. I disagree when you say his talent is being waisted.

elmore never touches the ball so that’s just as predictable.

go watch the bowling green tape. There is no fullback. Everything is 5 OL with the TE either on the line or a step off the line in a wing back role where they use the TE as a FB. It’s all single back sets with 3 wide. There is nothing power run about that. If Elmore is a TE in that role that’s fine, I don’t mind that.

What I don’t want to see is 5 OL, a traditional TE AND a FB with only 2 wide.

I didn’t mean to say 5 wide. 3 wide and/or split the TE out for 4. That’s mostly what bowling green did. TE in the traditional spot on the line or off the line in the backfield. Single back, 3 wide was the base.

That's another subject, but I whole-heartedly agree. Who were the leaders back in the summer when we started veering off the winning path?

 

[Dinkyspond]

Tucker’s TD vs ND doesn’t happen without that block. It was a text book wham block

I think Tony Dungy specifically pointed out how good a block Rhino made on that play.

 

[JustPherU]

That boy can play some football. He can play left, he can play right, don't make no difference. He can block, tackle, score the touch down, snap the ball, and kick the extra point. Hell, the boy will fill up the Gatorade cooler, walk the dog, and paint your back porch. I'm telling ya, the boy can plain outplay football.

He walks he talks he crawls on his belly like a reptile.

It doesn't hurt.

It is. I didn' know which movie it was from, but could tell pretty quick that it was from a movie or something similar just from the over the top nature of it.

 

[RF2044]

Elmore may be the most unselfish player we've had since Diamond Ferri. Just plays where he's told, when he's told. No complaining and just loves to play.

Great teammate, for sure.

He doesnt have to carry or catch the ball that much. Our TE's barely touched the ball the last 5 years. You dont think teams havent noticed that? We throw to them in the redzone though. Why are you watching bowling green? Their time there doesn’t represent their scheme as a whole. The offense they ran there was based on the players they had to work with. Watch SU the last 5 years. You cant just stay in 3 x1 or 2 x 2 Wr sets. It might be teams primary formations but they dont stay in it. You have to run multiple sets with different players to keep teams off balance and take advantage of match ups. Different formations manipulate defensive coverages. You dont remember all the Veer plays we ran? We ran a lot of counters, power and G kick plays. We ran a lot of QB power reads with Dungey. A lot of those plays were in 21 and 22 personnel. You have to be multiple point blank.

Rhino has been a leader from the first day he stepped foot on campus , I have so much respect for this young man that no matter what position he plays he will give it his all and his all is off the charts, he plays every play as if it was his last. I would bet he is the most liked player on the team. His return for year 5 means a ton for our program.
