I think they call that the Huck-a-Buck
Oh my dear sweet God, finally we have a fullback. The Eagles have addressed their most obvious need of the off-season, inking former Seahawk Leonard Weaver to a one year deal. Assuming that the 2010 season is uncapped, Weaver will be looking to improve in every facet of the game and prove he should be a big money guy.
Leonard Weaver’s role in the offense of ‘09 is unclear. Last season, the Eagles fullback position was a joke, and epitomized the arrogance of the Eagles front office (again thinking they were smarter than everyone else and a DT could play FB). Having such a glaring weakness at fullback must have had some type of impact on the way Andy Reid uses the position, and the Eagles frequently ran out of the singleback.
Signing Weaver definitely changes things in the Eagles backfield, and hopefully he isn’t the final backfield addition. Assuming the Eagles draft a running back, touches may be limited, but then again with the current wide receiver core I hope we’ll be seeing a new-age three-headed monster early and often.
