In regards to how fullback Chad Diehl and tight end Dwayne Allen would fit into the offense. Morris said there is a place for both of them because he runs a lot of H-back and tight end sets. He said he wants to use Diehl out of the backfield and try to put the rising senior into situations where he can create mismatch problems for the defense.
I have been wondering for at least three years why we didn't use the FB to the full potential. If the FB doesn't get the ball the D can basically ignore tackling him coming through the line.

I have been wondering ever since we wasted Ben Hall

why we don't use Tight Ends the way we should. Michael Palmer's senior year was the only satisfying year of the last 10 in that regard.

I wondered why Allen wasn't featured more inside the 20 since TDs were so hard to get there. Would've liked to seen what a few TE delays as well as FB delays would have done for the red zone offense.

The simple answer is that our OL couldn't be depended on to open up a hole in the line, and the Fullback or H-Back was used to help block. Sad, but true answer. I hope we do get an OL with some swagger, but we haven't had that in a long time.

Parker in nearly every game of the season. Delayed routes by the TE were easily possible in many situations. Harper was such a reliable receiver though, that he got most of the delayed routes because they were easier for Parker not to screw up.

Please re-read my post. I said nothing about pass blocking, only that they couldn't open a hole to run through. Think of all the 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 times we failed. The ruching successes we got from Ellington were cutbacks away from the way the line was blocking. Our OL has been pitiful at run blocking since Brad Scott took it over, and that is the truth. I wish it weren't, but it is. I hope we have better run blocking now, because if we do, it opens up everything else. I hope we get some swagger and nastiness. If we do, then watch out. If not, then we will continue to be a frustrated fan base. It was a great day in Clemson history when Brad Scott took another assignment.

If they get one, that will be more than Napier mastered out of Spence's play book. I hope that book has been destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If any of our fans thinks this is going to be a fine tuned FB team come September, you are going to be disappointed. If you are a fan that understands that we must take one step at a time to build something strong and good, then I believe you are going to be happy with where our program is finally heading. Gooooo Tigersssss, I'm excited!!!!!
