Welcome Zander Horvath, FB, Purdue (R7, #260)

[Formula 21]

I remember Mike Tolbert coming in. He was so physical, you couldn’t keep him off the field. Hoping to see Horvath do the same thing.

It's possible, but probably not right away. If he makes the team it will be based on his special teams contributions, where he can put that athleticism to good use. I do have hopes for him in the offense though - a few years down the road.

Why? He doesn’t know how to run? Isn’t the only knock on him lack of experience in run blocking? If they don’t need to use him as a lead blocker, his skill set is pretty developed now.

I really only care that they show us how they intend on using him. That should come sooner rather than later.

I bet he will replace Gabe on the roster. If he can get his reads right in protection he will be deadly. Fluid for his body build. Good hands. Power power power. "few years down the road". More like 1-2 touches per game out of the gate.

Don't think Nabors is getting enough respect as the only guy we know who can lead block.
I'd consider keeping Nabors as our FB until we can see Horvath do better, until then, Horvath is an RB to me who I'm penciling in over other guys due to his potential
Give Nabors blocking for Horvath a chance.

Go big or go home. H always follows G.

We’re gonna love Horvath as a RB.

Justin Herbert has a 97.8 passer rating on 4th downs. In 4th and short yardage situations it would be nice to have a hammer to compliment Eckler.

I hope you guys are right - I'd be overjoyed to be wrong.
