Here's one example

There are others running inside as well
His speed was 60 and agility 65 with 31 confidence and 31 vision for the game
Input would be greatThis is a very interesting game to watch for FB owners, mostly because the other team (The Boozehounds) have two FBs that look very capable on the outside runs. Both look fast, the starter is a true FB, the backup looks like he might be a speed TE. It looks to me like speed is what makes thelm so effective (and maybe also better sealing of the edge by the OT and TE). I actually think TE for the Boozehounds is the slightly better blocker because he gets where he's needed even faster than the true FB.
Look at the blocking on this pitch
