Robbie Ouzts proved need for FB in Seahawks offense
When the Seattle Seahawks hired Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator, the need for a fullback on the roster became evident. Kubiak had routinely employed a lead blocker in his previous NFL offenses. The Seahawks considered adding a veteran option, but ultimately found their solution in the unlikeliest of places. John Schneider drafted former Alabama tight end Robbie Ouzts and converted him to a fullback. And in Seattle's first preseason contest, a 23-23 tie with the Las Vegas Raiders, Ouzts immediately proved his worth to the offense. Ouzts made an impact both as a pass catcher and run blocker. The former TE showcased his soft mitts on this 17-yard gain out of the backfield. The Seahawks opened the scoring via an explosive 24-yard touchdown run by running back George Holani. Ouzts threw a key block at the line of scrimmage, washing safety Chris Smith II out of the play on 3rd-and-1. It was a highlight-worthy block for Ouzts in his exhibition debut. The Seahawks explored various avenues to address their need for a fullback. Ouzts was an extremely creative solution to the problem. Ouzts preseason debut indicated the Seahawks have a potential gem at a keynote position in Kubiak's offense.
