RI Falcon Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I remember he was trying to strike a deal in FA last year before settling and coming back our way. Did we sign him to a 1 year contract? Or a multiyear deal? This dude plays his heart out and just curious of the possibility of him and Quizz being our 1, 2 punch next year.

SatJackRSA Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Im a Snelling fan, he has always been ok. A good "3rd Back"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconstwopercentsized Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's the most versatile back we've got. He can lead block, catch, and run (fairly well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSICKxWITHxITx Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I don't think we believe he's more than a role player/ special team player due to the amount if carries he's been given over the years. I like him just not sold he's what we need. He was a fullback in college a Virginia I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's a security blanket. Solid contributor, but isn't a world beater. If he was, he'd be starting. For another team. It spoke volumes to me when he wasn't signed by anyone else. No saying he's not a good player, but as a fan base we appreciate him more for his grit and lunch pail ways than for the fact he is just a contributor, nothing more.

And 3 years is good. I realize he wouldn't be a feature role, but with him and Quizz sharing carries? I just feel like they make a good 1,2 punch without needing to make either one of them a real "feature" back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's the most versatile back we've got. He can lead block, catch, and run (fairly well)That's the key word. 'Versatile'He provides depth since he can line up at RB or FB and he catches the ball out of the backfield.He plays special teams and plays multiple positions effectively.These are the kinds of guys you build a winning team with.

I just feel like they make a good 1,2 punch without needing to make either one of them a real "feature" back.I've thought if we brought in a Reggie Bush you could do so much more with Snelling.Say for example we come out in a 3 WR set with a RB and FB with Snelling as the FB and Bush as the RB. Before the snap Bush moves/flexes out as a WR and Snelling becomes the RB. Now we essentially have a 4 WR set with a linebacker trying to cover Bush in space.This is what I would like to have if TG retires.Sounds great in theory anyway.

russ7000 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 i think we need to give the guy a chance and see what he can do... he hits the line hard and finishes play off.. he fumbles a lot that's the only issue i see with him....

Dominique is Manufique Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Snelling is a jack of all trades master of none. I would not want him lead blocking for more than a few surprise type plays out of pass formations for example.He is the equivalent of a utility infielder. Serviceable and under valued.Think Martin prado. He is very good as a utility guy but give him a full time role and you will be slightly underwhelmed. I like the guy but he is not a feature back.

Dharma Initiative Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's a very good role player that I think would diminish with more touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFalcone420 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Snelling seemed to come in at a lighter weight during the past season. With the fullback problems we had this yr id like to see him pack the weight back on so we can use him more at fullbackalong with hb later on in games. Also with snelling being a pass catching threat it would be nice to see him and quizz in the backfield at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xskyx Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm fine with keeping Snelling as 3rd back, and sharing the FB load with brady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citsalp Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 He should get more opportunities at running back.Why? He's not dynamic,explosive,fast,shifty. He is what he is, I don't see more carries for Snelling going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
