Let's get back to this H-back position dissappearing.... All you are talking about to me is trying to create mis-matches. You can line Cooley up as a FB to block or run little playaction flat passes, a TE to run short routes and in the slot to run more intermediate routes. He had to learn 2-3 positions. This year he may be more of a TE and just have life simplified. I guess I keep thinking about Tony Gonzales and the way he is used. I think Cooley will be able to focus more on catching the ball and not blocking from the FB position and we will go back to having more legit FBs who just block and catch passes from the back field.
