    What CAN'T Blount do, Bongo?

    The guy is HUGE (240lbs) has great speed for a guy that size- is very powerful, often trucks linebackers, is very shifty for a big guy and makes many miss, has a good stiffarm, and even HURDLES guys here and there. A guy his size with instincts to just leap over someone within a split second when they try to tackle him low is pretty impressive.


    He punched a guy. That's the ONLY knock possible with Lagarrette Blount. So save your silly 'practice squad' nonsense as if he can't beat out Ringer to safely land the #2 spot.

    I almost dislike this move just because I want Stafon to do well, but who knows. Maybe Stafon can still win the #3 or 2. If nothing else, him making the PS after his almost fatal accident is still a great story.

    A running back from a spread offense in college doesn't matter. There's tons of running backs who are good in the NFL who played in the spread in college: Jamal Charles, Rashard Mendenhall, Johnathan Stewart, Percy Harvin (is a receiver but played a lot of RB), Tashard Choice and CJ Spiller who was just drafted played in the spread. And that's just off the top of my head.

    Why? questionable work ethic..........but the real issue is he has absolutley no wiggle laterally because his hips are so stiff........and because this is the case his cone drills are horrible and it causes him to runreal high and he will get killed in the NFL. Moreover the weakest part of his game is pass blocking and no RB gets on the football field if the QB is going to get killed.............and they will if he is the back.

    This guy wont be on a roster...........and you can hold me to that.

    and personally I like that he punched the guy......shows he has some tude and I like the way he came back from the adversity..........shows character and he took his draft fall like a man too............but I am not a fan cause he has no NFL skills..........he is a classic one trick pony power runner.........he could not even make it as a FB because he cant move laterally and his showing at the Senior bowl was the worst RB showing ever according to a Bears scout and a Texans scout.

    I dont like him on football issues............it has nothing to do with the punch. LW best attribute was his feet and he ran behind his pads...........its why he scored so many TDs at USC.........and he still has the ability. I think LW just needs to get fit. I still think he can play 7 yrs. But he needs to get serious and I think considering he was given away he may come to the realization his time is drawing near unless he embraces change.......

    His to stiff to make it in the NFL, huh? I didn't know a big, physical RB had to have a "wiggle" to him.


    How much do you want to bet he will be on our roster?

    You don't score touchdowns by running around and tapping cones, you score them by running over people. Besides, why can't he get better? It's not like he wont improve at all and our coaches do, do a hell of a job at getting the most out of running backs. I'd trust them a whole hell of a lot more than a guy addicted to ellipsis.

    sure.......you asked why and I gave many reasons and faced with a reality that you dont like then you make a bet on bravado.............I bet the third RB on TN roster comes on the last cut down from somebody else's roster.............and Blount will be packing groceries for several weeks by that time.
