How To Help Manning? Use a Fullback

Fullback? I think you can hear a lot of Denver fans thinking fullback? We don't need a fullback. In my opinion I think it would seriously boost our running game, and that will take pressure off Manning. Will Manning put up a lot of points this year? Absolutely. Should he try and have another season like he did last year? No. He needs the running game to take pressure off of him. Using a fullback would help Montee Ball out immensely, and I do not think Denver has to look outside their roster to fill this position. I think the answer is Virgil Green. Julius Thomas took the NFL by storm this year and has solidified himself as the starting tight end in Denver. Virgil Green was more of a blocking tight end anyway. WHy not put him in the back field with Manning and Ball? If Manning see's something and wants to throw the ball instead of running it Green could be motioned out of the back field and into another tight end, or even a slot receiver. Any football coach has wants multiple players who can play multiple positions. Virgil Green provides just that with his ability as a tight end, but if John Fox, Adam Gase, and Payton Manning can figure a way to utilize Virgil Green more by putting him at fullback that could only benefit the team. If you think what I am saying is crazy I would point out that the only Denver Bronco teams to win the super had a guy named Howard Griffith leading the way for Terrell Davis, and they were able to take the pressure off of Elway so teams were constantly kept off balance. Denver will need to focus more on the running game next year if they hope to get back to the super bowl, and letting a guy like Virgil Green lead the way for Montee Ball it will make things easier on the entire offense.
