odd trend. The Buffalo Bills are hardly putting fullback Patrick DiMarco on the field on offense. His high-water mark so far this season came against the Minnesota Vikings when he logged 12 offensive snaps. All told http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jordan-mills-jersey , he’s seen the field a mere 25 times through four games. Let’s review 40% of his playing time and see what the Bills have been up to at the fullback position.Play 1Here Patrick DiMarco is doing some typical fullback work. DiMarco and LeSean McCoy go to opposite sides of Nathan Peterman. As DiMarco sets up one lane, Vlad Ducasse pulls to make another. Shady has to quickly choose which lane to go with after the play starts. He chose...poorly. McCoy tries to cut back but it’s too late and actually collides with DiMarco. This was his entire game on offense against the Ravens.Play 2As you’ll see, the Bills haven’t been shy about letting DiMarco run a route from the fullback spot. Quite often he finds a soft spot. This is however the only time a quarterback has decided to actually throw it to him. Josh Allen and DiMarco are out of sync. DiMarco looks inside for the ball and has to come back and make a diving grab to the outside. There’s almost zero yards-after-catch as a result. Play 3Near the end zones the Bills are more likely to bring DiMarco in, whether it’s scoring position or backed up on the wrong side of the field. DiMarco is likely looking to block in case Allen decides to scramble on this play. He does look back in good position to make a catch however. A flick of the wrist and this might have been a touchdown (don’t worry, see the next play). Play 4DiMarco was made the second-highest paid fullback in the league by Buffalo for a reason. He’s a good fullback. The ability to stop his man at the line clears just enough room for Chris Ivory to punch the ball in for a touchdown. DiMarco has been used often in short yardage situations. If there’s a Josh Allen quarterback sneak, there’ll be DiMarco—slamming into Allen to push him forward a bit more. The Bills haven’t had much in the way of short-yardage situations so far this year and it’s likely DiMarco sees more playing time if the Bills start seeing more third-and-short. Play 5There’s been a few of these too. DiMarco isn’t a downgrade at the receiver position, but arguably he may have been more effective blocking this running play from the fullback spot. Play 6There haven’t been too many plays where Patrick DiMarco has been asked to help in pass protection. This snap and another chip or two and one actual blocking assignment have been it. DiMarco hasn’t been the only back mostly absent from this role either. The Bills have been reluctant to have any of their backs help Josh Allen out by blocking. Play 7It’s unfortunate that Allen can’t get the ball to the wide open DiMarco on this play as there’s a decent chance to move the sticks. This play was set up well by Brian Daboll. They used a similar formation including motion from DiMarco twice earlier in this game against the Vikings. The first time was a lead block for Ivory on a running play. The second was right before this play on what also appeared to be a run (Allen fumbled so we’ll never know for sure). DiMarco sells the block as if it’s the same play call. The defense bites and he’s wide open. Play 8Despite DiMarco’s above average speed and agility for a fullback he’s been rarely used to block to the outside. He does his job well, and perhaps some more of this could help jump-start the Bills’ offense. Play 9There’s a lot to like about Patrick DiMarco but he’s hardly perfect. He doesn’t get enough of the block and the lane he’s there to clear shuts fast (though it’s not completely his fault). Play 10As they say, “always end on a high note.” DiMarco’s low snap counts don’t seem to be the result of poor play. His success here leads to a few more yards. Not everyone can be a first or second-round prospect. Those players that must fight their way up from the lower-end of the draft board always face quite an uphill challenge. This week’s college football recap features several ignored or forgotten prospects that managed to stand out and make an impact in their respective games. It won’t be long before these players garner more attention from draftniks. QB Khalil Tate (Arizona)Tate had a career-type game against the Colorado Buffaloes. The 6’2” passer earned his Tyrod Taylor and Russel Wilson comparisons in throwing for 350 yards on only 22 attempts while scrambling around the packet under-duress. His accuracy actually improved greatly when throwing on the run. Not exactly known for his passing prowess, and in a weak quarterback class, Tate needs to build on this performance if he wants to have any future in the NFL. WR Jalen Hurd (Baylor)Baylor pulled off the upset versus Oklahoma State thanks to their senior weapon. Hurd was a former running back for Tennessee Authentic Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , but has been making the transition to wide receiver. Against the Cowboys, Hurd caught 7 passes for 96 yards while running 9 times for an additional 27 yards. Improving by leaps and bounds, Hurd is a lower-round prospect that’s on the rise.RB Nico Evans (Wyoming)Another lower-round type prospect, Evans picked his spots all night against San Jose State. While his overall production (187 yards) was impressive, his ability to do the little things well is what will impress scouts. He has yet to fumble this year, and that continued against the Spartans. While his athletic qualities will never get him drafted highly, he’s a gamer. One to watch, moving forward.TE Irv Smith Jr. (Alabama)Alabama knew that LSU was without starting middle linebacker Devin White in the first half of their game, so they chose to target his replacement in the middle of the field with their tight end/H-back. The receiving tight end was truly the engine of the offense in the first half. Crimson Tide Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should have actually targeted him more, as replays showed him running open more often than not. SS Amani Hooker (Iowa)Hooker came into the season largely ignored and under-appreciated, but after coming down with three picks and five passes defensed Authentic Kelvin Benjamin Jersey , for an ostensibly run defending safety, has him approaching NFL relevancy. He picked up a pick-six against Purdue which only added to his resum猫 as an effective pass defender. Against the run, Hooker was also solid, as Iowa likes to use him as a linebacker-hybrid in the box.DT Derrick Brown (Auburn)Brown was a wrecking machine against Texas A&M. His specialty was quickly jolting the offensive lineman with a punch, jolting the guard off his feet, and quickly moving past in an effort to sack the quarterback. By the time the game ended, Brown had piled up a sack, a tipped pass, two tackles-for-loss and multiple hurries. The junior may be making his move up the board.
