The Fullback.

The fullback. The often times unsung hero of the offense. Former Chief Tony Richardson is an example. The FB is the bigger, more physical, back in the backfield. Who, let's face it is always the lesser known guy. Although very important at times. I remember watching a Texas College Football game and saw their FB, and watched a player where he just knocked the living lights out of a dude, the halfback went on to a pretty nice gain. So here is some insight on, The Fullback. Get ready, and JUMP!

*Disclaimer: I cannot be held reliable for any problems or injuries during the jump. whoever put it there and invented it is at fault, not I.

Alright, here you are, you made it safe and sound. (I hope)

The typical duties of a fullback are to: Block, either for the passing quarterback, or the running halfback, and occasionally go out for a pass. Most of the time, if they're on a passing route, they go out to the flats. Our fullbacks, for the Kansas City Chiefs are, Mike Cox, and Tim Castille. Some fullbacks that have seen great success are Lorenzo Neal and former Chief, Tony Richardson. Jim Brown, and Larry Csonka are greats that once played that position.

Here's some info on Cox. 

An undrafted free agent signed by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008. He had just 3 carries for 5 yards for an average of 1.7, adding 1 TD in the final game of the season against the Denver Broncos. Not much. 10 receptions for 79 yards for an verage of 7.9, no TDs

Time Castille

Signed by Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2007. Kansas City signed him on November 17, 2009. He joined us later in the season. However, he fared better than Cox with 14 carries for 55 yards, for an average of 3.9 and no rushing TD's. 4 receptions for 37 yards and 1 TD, that TD being a 20 yd with him being squished between 3 or 4 Bengal defenders, which I still don't know how he held on to.

Mike Cox hasn't exactly been impressive, and Castille showed that he can get it done sometimes. Mike Cox year would, well was dreadful but that TD helps I suppose and was the first score in the week 17 Denver game. If it's me I'm leaning towards Castille to start for FB and either keep or cut Cox. He hasn't shown much and I don't see much more upside or potential. But's he served and helped us and has shown helpful every now and then. With the addition of Thomas Jones I see one of these guys getting cut.

So, not a whole lot of point to this post other than something to talk about other than mocking and drafting. Also a little take on one our unknown weak spots. So who do you think will be the starting Fullback in 2010-2011 for your Kansas City Chiefs?
