Anderson was always one of my favorite fb's, when he played for the Jets...a pretty good blocker and a deceptively good pass catcher out of the backfield.

Thanks. I forgot about that. Did you think the generals' helmet was sort of bland by USFL standards?

Nothing beats.....

Interesting that a career RB is now an NFL TE coach

I was thinking the exact same thing... Maybe it's cause he was such a good pass catching RB???

Actually your both right. Whisenhunt was a H-back during his playing days.

Q: What is an H-back, and what does he do?

Buchsbaum: An H-back is a combination fullback/tight end. Very often, he’ll be put in motion and used as a "wham" blocker. That means when you go in motion, you turn toward the line of scrimmage as the ball is snapped, and you hit an unsuspecting defender who doesn’t know where you’re coming from and doesn’t expect to be blocked by you. (For more on an H-back and how he differs from a tight end, see Lesson 2.)

Lesson 2:

Q: What is the difference between the responsibilities of an H-back and a tight end?

Buchsbaum: A tight end generally lines up next to the tackle, close to the line of scrimmage on the strong side. He is generally in a down position with one hand down on the ground. An H-back often goes in motion and is used as a blocker in a momentum situation, where he’s in motion and turning upfield at the time the block needs to be thrown. Or, the H-back can be used more like a flanker. By putting the H-back in motion, the offense creates confusion for the defense: who’s going to guard him; when he blocks, whom is he going to go after; etc. The H-back is generally more of an athletic player than the tight end.

The impetus of this thread begs the question. Who on the Cardinals current roster fits the role of H-back? Ayanbadejo? Bronson? Bergen?
