The Dallas Cowboys are going young at fullback for 2007

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Oliver Hoyte looks in line to be the starting fullback for the Cowboys this season.  He played in 12 games (5 starts) last season and he caught 2 passes for 10 yards and he made 4 tackles on special teams as a rookie.  Lousaka Polite is the likely back up at fullback for the Cowboys.  He played in 12 games (0 starts) last season for the Cowboys and he carried the ball 7 times for 18 yards (2.6 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 21 yards (10.5 avg).  He has played in 27 games (3 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 9 times for 26 yards (2.9 ypc) and he has caught 12 passes for 97 yards (8.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Rookie Deon Anderson has the all-around potential to win the starting job outright as he is a better runner than either Hoyte or Polite.

Deon Anderson is quite an impressive physical specimen.  He’s 5′10″, 236 pounds and he runs a 4.7 40.  Anderson is a strong runner and a good blocker.  He also is a special teams assassin so he should be a busy boy for the Cowboys this season.  In 47 games (23 starts) at U Conn, he carried the football 114 times for 420 yards (3.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 48 passes for 394 yards (8.2 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Anderson was a good pick by the Cowboys.
