Manti Wants to Become the Goalline Back

[WabashFalcon]

We called for it when he is recruited. We may have a shot to see it happen.

Two-way Te'o?

I love T'eo.

This kid is awesome! Go Irish!

can someone summarize the article i mean obviously it's about manti being a fullback, but could it actually happen?

He might have some competition for that spot from Irish Chocolate. Or maybe Nix can just line up at FB and plow a 4 lane highway for Te'o to walk through.

I would love to see that...weekly.

Would love to see it, reminds me of how BC used Brian Toal (before he got hurt). Not a fan of BC, but 4th and Toal just sounds sick, and produced results.

 

[Irish2015]

is this media hype or actually a plausible thing?

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

If Manti wants it, then Kelly should strongly consider...

It's not like there is that much more of a chance of injury. It would only be a couple extra plays.

 

[WabashFalcon]

I'm trying to find the Youtube video with his running back highlights. He's legit.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Here are a couple plays of him running the rock:

[GreatGolson]

Wildcat. that is all

 

[jfjkd01]

Awesome vid, he would be a force in the backfield, I say let him have a goaline package........

 

[clashmore_mike]

Hmmm, could he also be the solution at punt returner?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Also, my definition of swagger would be a picture of Te'o wearing a helmet with tinted visor.

 

[bert2834]

He seemed to have very good vision finding the holes.

 

[Irish2015]

He didn't find holes he made them.

Operation Hawaiian Punch.

wait.

wait a second.

why the hell is "hawaiian punch" not Te'o's official nickname?

Or how about Hawaiian Bulldozer.......

Pretty awesome considering we think Hendrix might have a goaline package. Pretty dynamic duo there

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Watching him running the ball in that video. Smokin'. Wow.

 

[TDHeysus]

Why screw around with this? Dont they have RB's they recruited for this very reason? Where are you at Jonas Gray?

I think Manti should stick to playing LB.

Lane calls a timeout, runs over to Kelly, shakes his hand, and heads to the locker room before the inevitable. The march to a national championship continues.

That would be sick! It almost looks like his visor is kind of tinted this year

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

I'm all in for this idea. Remember Stanford pounding the hell out of people last year and defenses could do nothing about it? Especially short yardage situations. They'd go double tight, have marecic at FB, and their "wing" was a 300 pound third string tackle.

I'd love to see a short yardage/ goal line package with Teo in the backfield, maybe double tight Power I or wildcat.

Package name = Haka

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Oh yeah...and if Louis Nix wants to be the next Fridge, let him in too. Spread em and run em all up and down the field, then inside the 10 go smash mouth football and tell the defense...you know what we're doing and you can't stop us
