I run the 49ers.com message board also (khari and I)...so I've followed them all year. He is Gore's primary blocking back. I got some scuttlebutt about Norris in the preseason and I think his release was related to some off field issues...I won't go any further than that since I don't have proof...just some word of mouth scuttlebutt - may not be true...but I think it is...jmo (and a little gossip).Didn't they just sign him though? Don't think he has been blocking for Gore all year.
i've never been a big fan of norris, but cook couldnt block a 9 year old and isnt anywhere near the receiver he was touted as being. i really think norris would make an impact in our running game for the better. i dont think he could save it, but it would move us into "adequate" status because the front 5 is still the cause of our problems. i'd love more than anything to get a mike alstott or a tony richardson (most underrated player in the league IMO) or lorenzo neal to legitimize the texans running game. heck, if we're lucky, kyle johnson might escape denver ... if he came here it'd be one of the texans' biggest acquisitions ... kyle johnson is an absolute stud at fullback and in his prime at 27 years old.
Alstott has never really been a FB. Just a big slow RB that is slotted as a FB. Yes I know he goes to pro-bowl as a FB; but he is really a RB. The other two guys I would take in a heart beat. They always have 1000+ yard backs behind them.
Was Wells really a worse back than any of the 3 lame backs we have today?

Im just not sure how a FB is used in the Denver/Zone scheme.
...very good point because a FB has to catch in Kubiak's system, so what about the 'blocking' part of it? JMO, but we need a blocking FB more than we need another 'dink and dunk' receiver...bottom line, I'd think we need a FB that can do both very well...
No. There's a reason he's a FA.Think J Wells could have filled that role?

alstott is a much better blocker than folks give him credit for. he is (maybe was, i stopped watching the bucs a year or two ago) arguably the most complete player at the position, but because he's had so much success as a short yardage guy, he gets overlooked as a blocker. the opposite is true for guys like lorenzo neal & mack strong who are such great blockers that folks forget that they're pretty good running the ball also. any of which i'd absolutely love to have in a texans uniform. again, the one i'm personally eyeballing is kyle johnson.
