Aside from route running and pass catching, Blocking requires a hard earned talent at this level. It isn't something that can be mastered in one spring from someone who hasn't played a position based upon hitting. I'm not saying he has never given nor received hits, I'm talking about three point stance, firing off the ball, low pad level, using leverage, proper hands, etc. These are things that offensive and defensive lineman work on for years to be able to play at this level of competition. Not to say it can't be done, but it is very unlikely.2 things:1. You used the words "hard-earned talent". Experience and talent are two completely different things. PJ HAS the talent.2. There are all kinds of odd stories in the NFL, like joe horn and matt jones. PJ does have a full year to learn the position. It all depends on how hard he wants to work at it and how much he wants it. His body is certainly capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually a pretty good 3rd stringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very good about our potential.Hoping for the Best !Go BULLS !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S. Bien Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I agree...I remember when this board was singing the praises of Evan "You da man" Kraky..how good he looked, how he was destined to start...all based on the spring game.  Someone said those things about Evan? I would have smacked them down if I read it. I saw plenty of practices back in those days and Evan couldn't have scratched water boy status. I would say that Severino was worlds ahead of that maroon.

He would have no problem skill wise at TE. He ran a sort of wishbone offense in Miramar and he's already proven himself as a tough runner. Plus, because of his heart he will block with the best of them. The bonus is having a trick play up our sleeve with him in the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use him like UL uses Michael Bush. Julmiste can run over some linebackers on the short yardage situations. I dont want to see Julmiste in at QB. I would rather USF use Amarri Jackson at QB then to have Pat play that position next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
