From the episode

Robbie Uts is hurt. He's out. And so you're going to Brady Russell, who they kept on the 53... I assume as we get deeper into the season, we see more fullback usage that is akin to the way the Niners use their fullback.

Brady Russell will likely see more split-zone and H-back usage

With Robbie Uts injured, Brady Russell is expected to take over fullback duties, likely leading to more split-zone and H-back usage compared to the traditional backfield usage seen last year.
