Giants fullback question: Robert Douglas?
“I have been impressed with what Robert Douglas has been able to do,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “But of course we don’t have pads on yet, either.”
Douglas is the Giants only fullback right now though some competition is likely. That article said he was 248 but Giants.com says 230 which is abit small for a fullback. Garafolo says he’s listed at 230 but claims to be 248.
Paul Schwartz implies this was all part of the master plan – the Giants signed Douglas because they thought he could take over for Finn.
Anyway, with Jacobs at 265, Droughns at 235, Ward at 230, and a fullback (whoever it may be) at 240-250, the Giants will have a big backfield. I’m looking forward to it.

To be honest, I see this as an opportunity, rather than the traditional halfback fullback set, let them put in Jacobs and Droughns in the same backfield, in a 2 halfback set. Think that might fool a few defenses?

I’d love to see something new and exciting, but I’m not that’s likely to happen…
