Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3106370, member: 1899"] Unless Bird makes a meal of it, that would be the biggest indication yet that he's sown up the fullback spot. From the limited vision we saw of the Capras trial, it appeared he had a mixed game with his inability to defuse a kick leading directly to points so it remains to be seen how long the experiment will last. Cronulla tried Bird back at fullback in 2017 to mixed success. He made a promising start against the Raiders in their 42-16 route, but came back down to earth the following week against the Dragons. He received one final opportunity before the Sharks returned to their original plan of Holmes at fullback. Also interesting to see which two development players made the team. Even if Perese has his contract terminated, the Broncos don't have to promote any players until June 30 so it's probably smart to keep that spot open and trial a couple of players to see how they handle the opportunity.
