Great thought experiment! I can't wait until we see how Grubb's scheme actually looks on game day "for real" with all the 1's playing. I anticpate a lot of RPO where Geno makes the choice based on how the D lines up in the box. More P/A off of formations that look set up for a run, and running out of passing formations (kind of like LA's scheme, frankly). This is gonna be FUN!

I agree that Charb is not nearly as valuable to the Hawks as K9. K9 wins a side by side comparison easily as well as the stats case, the eye test and the intuition test. Therefore, Charb should lean into his inner battering ram and turn himself into a Fullback modeled after Miami's Larry Csonka who never lost a yard, maybe he never failed to gain a yard. He was the single most important part of that undefeated season by the Miami Dolphins.

As Philidelphia showed with the last two seasons was that making 4th and 1 99% of the time (Larry Csonka was 100%) brings your team to a new level of dangerous. Being reliable at 4th and one is not something our team has had ever. If Charbonnet can improve our chances at 4th and goal or 4th and one, that would be a great addition to our offense.
