Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1455524, member: 27"] I hear you...express back calls for someone who can run the ball on a sweep and that isn't what you think of when you think of Ben Lewis. But I think with the new offense (and this is only a thought now, I am not real familiar with it), on passing plays, the express back is going to fill the role of the slot receiver. The XB is going to be asked to over the middle, find seams in the zone and make tough catches in traffic. Similar to what Alec Lemon did for us most of his career. And I think the express back plays a big role in blocking on running plays. In those areas, Lewis excels. He is probably our most physical receiver, our toughest and I think he is our best blocker there too. [/QUOTE]
