Cox block?

What role does the fullback play in the new (?) Haley-Gailey offense?
What is Pioli's position on Mike Cox?
These are questions for which I would like answers.
We signed Cox as (a highly-ish rated) undrafted free-agent last year. Cox can block (?), but can't really run/catch-and-run the ball. How good of a blocker is Cox? In the top-10 of FBs in the league? To be valuable to the Chiefs, he needs to be a very good or even excellent blocker because he is not much of a runner/receiver. It is unfortunate that better blocking metrics do not exist. We may never really know how well Cox can block.
I suppose this is not the most exciting post. Debating our QB situation or our LB situation seems much more interesting. Nonetheless, fullback is a position on the team and it deserves (at least some) of our attention.

Cox looked to be
a very good blocker, and he is a decent Receiver

He did fine
I’ve got no problems with his play considering our investment.

Tony Richardson
Tony signed for 500k. I would have loved to have him back.

Prediction
Recently released Mike Karney from the Saints is brought in for a look see. Don’t even know if they’ll be interested, but Pioli likes experienced vets and Gailey & Gibbs would have the link

Bad Idea
Cox > Karney
in pretty much all ways… plus Karney barely had any receptions so that wouldn’t be a plus either

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cox go
because in Haley & Pioli’s eyes anybody can block for a 2-14 football team
