Rookie Fullback

I find it difficult to get excited about a full back, even those with comic book nicknames and You Tube videos. But if Reagan Mauia can be a go-to guy on the goal line, suit him up and let him run some people over. If there's one thing that pissed me off the most last year it was our inability to convert short-yardage situations. Granted, the line was/is awful, but when we're fourth and inches in our opponents territory and the best situation is to let Donnie Jones pad his punting stats, something's terribly wrong. Mauia, just get us in the damn end zone!

I'm not sure where he will fit in with free-agent signing Cory Schlesinger, but given last year's FB battle with a surprise Darian Barnes beating out an assumed starter in Fred Beasley, the starting job will go to whoever can contribute immediately.

Honestly, I don't know much about Mauia because, again, he's a f%$ing fullback!
