Lame excuse by Dinwiddie; a lot of CFL H-backs now are converted linebackers or guys who were mostly just blocking backs in college ball; if the position is oh so important to this diverse offence (LOL), then why not have a guy with the body type or strength/athleticism to just block, be prepared as a back-up at the position to the one other guy listed as "fullback" - I'm guessing Cassar, Calver or Penny could easily learn/do the job.
