Just announced in the FOFL, a trade..

Chesapeake sends RB Craps Copley and a 2008 3rd round pick to Royal, in exchange for FB Chadwick Morimasa.

Okay, with two fullbacks already, and an offense that doesn’t feature the FB at all – how does this make sense at all?

Well, Morimasa is a full-back in name only. Check out these stats from four years as a feature back in Royal:

1,405 carries for 5,928 yards rushing and 39 TD
Career rushing average = 4.21 ypc
199 receptions for 1,462 yards
2005 League MVP
Three-time first-team fullback

So, this is no ordinary fullback, he has the skills to play as a featured ball carrier, and is a solid addition to our RB corps.

Why are we getting him so cheaply? Well, Morimasa is a 13th year player, and started to show some signs of decline last year, as his ypc dropped below 4.0 for the first time. Is he done? Tough to say – his ratings still look awfully solid to my scout (who rates him 68/68), but the truer test will come on the field. But with our modest complement of running backs, this move seems to make some sense – it’s a far less expensive upgrade than we’d get by trying to deal for a top-tier halfback from anyone, I’m certain.
