Another interesting point about Robbie - the Seahawks lead those 11 FBs in terms of percentage of offensive snaps, and is tied for 2nd in total snaps (all per FB-Ref).
Robbie - 46 snaps (39.32% of SEA off snaps)
Kyle Juszczyk - 47 snaps (31.97%)
Scott Matlock (LAC) - 46 snaps (37.40%)
Brady Russell, Brooks and Ricard have 0 snaps (although the Texans have Brooks as a RB and a 2nd FB listed - Jakob Johnson with 27 snaps)
You can just respond to me I don’t have game recorded. But I said Charbonet sure didn’t compare to walker, he said walker most of the time has a fullback. Tru?
It’s funny if you look back at the grades given out at draft time. “What an over reach. He’d have been there in the 7th round.” Etc… We, at least, heard the JS/MM interview explaining his role as FB, not TE. This is a situation where I’m darn glad for that “over reach.” He might wind up having as much impact or more than most 3rd round picks by the end of the year. At some point, “he’d probably be there in the 7th round,” is not worth the risk.
Oh, I wasn’t including you in this comment. I was talking about the draft grades of ESPN, Fox, etc. Days after the draft, he was still being referred to by these people as a TE. They obviously didn’t get the memo that was made clear in the day 3 press conference that he was going to be used as a FB. I just think we need to think about what is an over-reach in the draft. I stand by the potential that he may have more impact than 1/2 of the third round picks. Sorry if I gave the impression I was including you in the comment above.

Beck 6 snaps, Westover 8 snaps, Luepke 22 snaps, Gilliam 31 snaps, and Ingold 33 snaps.
So the Hawks are getting more out of their FB than the majority of teams, and arguably all of them.
I guess my first fullback was Larry Czonka. Still the best backfield I've ever seen with Czonka, Jim Kiick, and Mercury Morris. QB wasn't bad, either.
My first fullback is John L Williams for sure ... loved my early 90's underachieving Hawks

I'm not sure who this is directed to but maybe that person will know who they are.
Would be interesting to better understand how teams fare in running game with and without a fb
Don Testerman. Seahawks FB 1976-1978. RIP.
What a perfect name for an expansion team. "The Testerman"

And I did write 1 or 2 articles over the summer that Ouzts would be an immediate contributor and probably rank 2nd in rookie snaps, at worst 3rd. https://www.seasidejoe.com/p/robbie-ouzts-seahawks-blocking

Larry Csonka will always be fullback 1 for me. Maybe that’s just my age.
You bring bavck the memories, Danno. Yeah Larry Csonka ("Zonka") was an incredible player. Used to watch him on tv with my Dad.
Brown was a better “runner,” but Csonka was “a force of nature.” he was going to move the pile.
With all due respect to Larry, Jim Brown was a fullback.

I believe that John Riggins was also a fullback. Those were the three I thought of first, Brown, Csonka and Riggins.
Csonka rocked the stash like Ouzts ;)
Jim was a little before I got into football. I don’t remember seeing much of him. I think it was harder to see out of town players back then.
Mack Strong for me.
Was going to say: we've had two great ones (John Williams being the other) but if there was a Marshawn Lynch at fullback it was Mack Strong.
Plus, has there EVER been a better name for a fullback than Mack Strong!
