But we need to spell Gore with 2-back sets, with Foster and Robinson helping out. Otherwise they key on Gore, stuff him, and that's that. I liked Zak Keasey at the FB position. Scrappy guy who fights to win, plays with heart. But if he goes down, we need a real FB to replace him. Fullbacks are underrated and underutilized in today's game. We need a short yardage threat. That's why I'd like to see some emphasis on that, and the O-line, in the draft. Btw, Brian Jennings, Joe Nedney, and Andy Lee get my Pro-Bowl votes. Considering all the practice they get. Add Patrick Willis from the D, and that's about all you can really nominate, considering the years others guys are having. In the long run, it's not about the Pro Bowl, it's about winning. And a solid O-line is the first step in that direction.
