Yeah, the question I have is which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Did our shift away from a lead blocking fullback occur because Symonds and Heimuli aren't good at it, or have we de-emphasized recruiting of fullbacks who are good lead blockers because we changed our scheme. Or (my preferred hypothesis) are both a result of evolution of the game away from 21 formations at all levels of the game, affecting both the pipeline of fullbacks and our preferred scheme.
