    Barksdale is at RT, I don't think he'll be the "mobile OL".

    A light offensive lineman (6-1, 275) can make a fine blocking fullback if he has quick feet, and many centers do. His father, Bob Dugas, was the LSU All American offensive tackle that made an All-American running back out of Charles Alexander. Maybe blocking is in the blood.

    The paper today said:

    I've always been a fan of throwing to the fullback. I love to see the big guys get the ball in space.

    I hope Dugas works out. I bet this kid is ecstatic about a chance to gain playing time. You wouldn't think we could throw to him much, but who knows. I do not think that K. Williams would be a good blocking FB judging by his running style. He doesn't seem to be as much of a bull as Scott. I think Scott would be good, but he is the number one tailback so you don't want to wear him out too much just to block.
