Powell isn't too slow for a RB

I said that he is too slow to the line. He should be a FB.

Then wouldn't that make him to slow for a RB? He's not fast enough for sweeps, but he's fast and powerful enough to run in-between the tackles from the pistol or under center

It makes him fast enough to be a FB.

If he's too slow for sweeps, he's also probably too slow to the line from a power I formation. The RB lines up 7 yards behind LOS in a power I, but only 5 yards back in a typical pro-set or pistol. Those two yards make a difference.

Which is what I alluded to in my original comment.

I'd play him at both, that little dive play against ASU was nice.

Hawk says our goal-line packages need more WR sweeps.

Yes, but several people apparently needed it spelled out, not just "alluded to."
