  • Situational Wild Dog... Why not?

    Agree... good take. Another little value nugget to add to the Pryor collection.

    Just put the Magic Midget in behind our line. They won't be able to find him during those 2 yards. 😛

    Thought about it. That is possible too...though with him you would have to rely on his shiftiness and squirminess rather than the brute force that a Tebow could bring....or the fact that a Pryor could leap for 2 yards. if he had to.

    Could see the return of more "refrigerators" in the NFL.

    Fullback Danny Shelton?

    There's a whole host of college QBs who were good because they were bigger, stronger, faster than the competition - Russell, Young, Tebow, Pryor, Miller, and (here come the torches and pitchforks) Cardale Jones. They could make a great career as 2 point specialists, as essentially power running backs who can throw sometimes or jump over the pile.

    Exactly....though at this point Cardale Jones may want to be tested for full time QB duty.

    But, yes, these 2 pt. specialist could be valued....but they would have to have other uses to be worthy of one of the 53 man spots.

    Take Tebow....He could be a punt protector, holder, occasional H-back....emergency 3rd string QB.....and 2 point specialist.

    FYI, there was a guy once that sort of had that position....and got a nickname for it: Two Point Tommy Tupa. (yep, another former Ohio St. QB.

    I looked for videos of him scoring two pointers but could not find any.

  • They tried billy winn last year...

  • dont know how they'll handle this new extra point thing, but we cant forget the Crow is someone with a real nose for the end zone......he'd be another good bet at the goal line

    TRich actually was quite good at finding 2 yards, whether you needed 1 or 3. He might catch on somewhere in a niche role.

    Your short goal line running game is probably still the best bet on a 2 pter. They can be a dual threat. The can run....they can fake run, option....and in a pinch actually throw a regular pass....even though as full time passers they have proven to be shite.

  • I am certainly not the only one that had this thought. The following link shows a list of 10 people who they think will benefit from the rule....most are some of the best players going anyway: TEs like Gronkowski and Graham, RBs like Lynch and Arian Foster, running QBs like Newton and Wilson, receivers like Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham. Plus Tebow.

    While sure, these players are some of the best in their position, I do believe there will come the two pt. specialist....like Tebow/Pryor and others.

    The above articles and others I have seen tout the Seahawks as being major threats to make their 2 pointers....because they have Wilson, Lynch, and now Graham.

    But what the fuck happened the last time the Seahawks attempted what amounted to 2 point conversion? No, it wasn't a 2 pointer.....only the equivalent of one for a TD that would have won the Super Bowl!

    So, even with the rule change....and with potential specialists......you still have to call smart plays and execute them correctly.

  • Miami has a 260 lb. FB with great hands that will benefit from this change. Jorvorskie Lane a.k.a. the JTrain.
