I love this guy. Frank the Tank. Bring your green hat!

Re: Frank Summers

You know, I do too. We actually have a fullback that can run, block and catch that is useful on more than special teams.

Go Frank Go ! Give the ball to Frank ! We have a useful guy named Frank, without dicking around !

Re: Frank Summers

i love the guy too. and its amazing he wasnt able to find a team that wanted him to play for two of the five years since leaving college

but im surprised he hasnt gotten a penalty yet. he lowers his head to lay the boom on potential tacklers, and thats supposed to be flagged this season. my guess is the nfl isnt calling it this first season to let the players have a buffer period, but i expect hes gonna have to rein that in if hes still on the team next year

He's a keeper. A human bowling ball.

He's gotta get better at lead blocking. He misses a lot. It's good to see him used as a short yardage guy, though.

He paved the way for EJs run TD.

Pretty much. Fun watching him lower his shoulder on a carry or catch, but he has to get better at run blocking.

Best since one of my all time favorite Bills, Sam Gash.

I was about to say the same.

Maybe it was the older bigger pads, but the dude looked like a lineman by todays standards.

Actually, he missed his block and took forever to get through the hole, but EJ scored anyway. As a matter of fact, he kind of got in EJ's way and then hit no one.

Maybe, but only because....well....who else have we had at FB? Gash was a beast. Summers couldn't hold his cleats.

Re: Frank Summers

Gash was probably the best lead blocking FB of the era. However, lead blocking FBs are almost obsolete today. The few teams that use FBs in the NFL now use them as receiving options and running options, and FBs for the sole purpose of being lead blockers are only used in goal line situations. And even then, a bunch of teams are using DTs and TEs as the FB.

Don't have a clue what you are seeing. He's always nailing someone. Saw him bounce Poz like a superball on a meaningless play, he inevitably plows someone under. When he's in on running plays, someone gets nailed. Think I've seen him miss two blocks all year. Might be fashionable to say he needs to be better and misses his blocks when he's in on running plays, which is mostly all he's ever in on and seems to do just fine.
