    We are what Gado's 5th team? There's a reason nobody keeps him, don't let one night fool you. We know what Gado brings to the table, Ringer and Blount still have upside and I thought they both looked good last night.

    If the decision was coming today, it would be Gado over Blount. No question.

    No QB is going to trust Ringer in pass protection more than Blount here in a month.

    Ringer folds as soon as someone touches him. Blount will actually do something if he picks up a blocker.

    Sorry guys- Ringer just doesn't have it. Gado and Blount ran behind far worse blocking and made him look like a bum. Give them Ringer's carries and we'd be sending Ringer farewell cards today.

    I liked Ringer in college, but he fell off there after his injury- and he's never shown that he's back from it. What are you guys waiting for?




    If CJ goes down- does anyone here trust Ringer to get more than 2 ypc? I don't. That's the problem.

    Let's compare them running behind the same lines in the 1 game they both played in:

    Blount: 9 carries for 42 yards 4.7 ypc

    Gado: 7 carries for 21 yards 3 ypc

    Blount doubled Gado's production in 2 more carries. So how on earth would you chose Gado over Blount at this point?


    Man, punching someone sure can make people blind.

    Gado has the edge over Blount because he plays special teams. If all things are equal I can see Fisher going with Gado and hoping Blount can make it to the practice squad without being picked up.

    Not a chance we keep 4 RBs. If they really like Blount they might try and sign him to the PS. Gado or whoever gets the #3 job will have to contribute on STs.

    Blount has done just enough to get picked up even if we cut him. we will play in the NFL no matter what now.

    You are 100% right. People seem to have such hatred for Blount they cant accept the simple truth that there are more than 5 teams in the NFL right now that would sign Blount to first round money.

    The man had a choice between the chargers and the titans. With the chargers he knew he had a great shot at playing this year. this is san diego, close to West coast where he played football. But he chose the titans.

    Those who think he is a dumb brute should contemplate why he chose the titans. (even having seen the ridiculous amount of carries CJ got last year while barely leaving any entrails for the back up RBs to nibble on.

    He chose the titans because he is smart enough to see the ridiculous advantage any running back has behind that oline. He chose the titans because he knows that over here, all he would have to do is keep his nose clean and play out his contract then he will get that big fat contract.


    Folks need to stop hating on Blount, and accept the fact that he is here to stay. Now may be Fisher may suffer a massive brain fart, (or may be blount is completely useless at picking up blitzes and cant block a five year old girl nipping at VY's heels, but blount aint being to no practice squad!!! NO FREAKIN WAY THAT GUY IS GONNA BE ON OUR PRACTICE SQUAD AND FOLKS SELLING THAT GARBAGE NEED TO HAVE THEIR HEADS EXAMINED!!!
