Astrobot Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I think we need a Fullback who can produce. At 6'0" 266lbs, Matt Bernstein (Wisconsin) is this year's best beast. A bit o' info: "- Bernstein has great fullback size. He is great lead blocker, and acts like a sledgehammer coming out of the backfield. Bernstein blast linebackers in close quarters on inside running plays, and can block them in space on outside plays. Bernstein is a good short yardage runner, and runs with power." "- Bernstein is an underrated player. He is a devastating run blocker, who is almost like having a guard lining up in the backfield." "Bernstein is a hardworking player who has a bright future as a lead blocker." Audio Interview -- He says "I think of myself as an offensive lineman--heck I almost weigh as much as them"
UConn James Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I've been pointing this kid out since last season. With all the onus on 'We need OL!' this kid would be a GREAT pickup if Marv and Dick are truly serious about the running game. Bernstein is a bruiser and will remind you of Sam Gash. If we're looking more toward a rushing FB, there's a kid, Nick Hartigan out of Brown who will do well if he goes to the right situation; Ivy League TD record and I've seen him take big hits and pop right back up; Alstott-type player. Shelton underwhelmed me last season, and he's... 33? 34? There's a reason he was watching football from his couch two seasons ago.
Astrobot Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Matt Bernstein was recently waived by the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League after a stint in with the Detroit Lions. So much for the Hebrew Hammer!
