Mozee now at RB/ Hybrid WR
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
The last time we converted a highly touted WR recruit to RB it didn't go so well. I hope this is based on his choice not out of need because the RB room isn't where it needs to be.
Probably more of a stacked WR room than anything else.
Need some depth at RB, looking forward to seeing Mozze skill coming out of the backfield.
Probably a good thing that his dad is on staff because I could see a player like that being a transfer candidate if his love is to play wide receiver.
Of course he could be all for playing RB and excited about the opportunity.
"Little Pacheco" and "Baby Mahomes" in the same backfield. As long as they produce like their namesakes. But no pressure. 😎
Then you’re implying this was Mozee’s choice/idea? Because the “Rhule” of thumb as a coach is… you don’t ask a player to change positions unless you believe he can start at his new position. (Or at least contribute significantly) Otherwise, if a player asks to change positions, you handle each one of those instances on a case by case basis. Sometimes you think it could help the team and player if he moves to a new position, other times you may have to convince him that he’s already at the right position and he just needs to put his head down and work as hard as possible, and everything will work out if he does.
I actually hope Rhule and/or Isaiah’s dad decided to ask him to change positions. Cause that means they think he has the ability to start and/or contribute significantly. EJ needs a reliable and capable #2. Most teams need 3 capable RBs and I (like most of us) don’t really know what we have outside of EJ.
We don't expect this to be a full-time move for what it's worth. Since Mozee committed both @Steve Marik and I have stated that Mozee has the ability to take handoffs out of the backfield. I expect he operates more like Wan'Dale did back when he was here with Frost, lining up out wide and taking a few snaps from the backfield as well.
He was recruited as an athlete who had the potential to play several positions. I think they want another guy in that room who can be a big play threat as a receiver out of the backfield.
DuckR. That’s a term I really would rather never hear again. Screw the Ducks.
I still like the name "wingback"
If I remember correctly, Mozee played WR and RB in high school. He was looked at as a Deebo Samuel type of weapon. So wherever he can play as long as he can get on the field is fine with me.
They seriously should bring back the wingback. What a weapon that position was. Lined up just about everywhere. I think back in the days of Curtis Craig, the wingback would get a few carries each game.
I’ll go to with just about anything other than “duck-r”.
Seems like back in the late 70's/early 80's, Tom would run I-formation with the wingback tight just off the line of scrimmage. And he'd run that inside reverse to the WB. Always seems to gain good yardage.
Service academies still carving up opponents with the WB inside counter
Anyone even bringing up Wandale Robinson under Frost needs to pump the brakes. This will be a totally different offense with more weapons and infinitely better functionality. Dana already showed he won’t be lining up a Mozee to run up the middle on the goal line. 😑
With his dad being on staff, I’ve gotta think this decision was anything but forced on him. It will be a way to get him on the field earlier because of RB depth issues and use his talents. Dad and son were probably all for that. I don’t think it will stunt his growth as a WR should that be what the NFL sees him at. Or he becomes a Ty Montgomery/Antonio Gibson type. Should be fun to watch!

I always appreciate a player who's willing to move to another position in order to see the field sooner.
Dad being a coach on staff and a former d1 rb, I would imagine he had a lot of input.
I fully expect Dana to use the RB position like another WR position considering Ives at that position as well.
I'm not expecting any kind of old school ground and pound.. offense will be more dink and dunk most likely with the occasional deep ball.
