Now that we’re on the subject of the corruption of numbers…which jersey number is next to be retired before having it’s sacredness soiled?

It’s sad to say but this kind of needed to happen to see if Blount can be an every down work horse. If he can be a feature back like that it will help alot with our offense. It will keep the Defenses honest, no more just taking him out and know it’s a pass, or putting him in and KNOW it’s a run. If he can keep up on protections and catching out of the back field it will tremendously increase the production of this Offense. HELLO (working) PLAY ACTION!

This is great but Josh has been saying this all year. Too bad Olson doesn’t get the message. Wait for sunday and 3rd down and Lumpy will be wiffing on mlb’s that come charging up the middle and Freeman will start throwing off his back foot again to avoid the rush.

Its about time. Hopefully it’ll work with the Saints and their “exotic” blitz packages. I don’t understand why some refer to them as exotic.

If someone’s gonna be back there learning, it might as well be Blount.

Even if Lumpkin is ahead of him right now in pass pro and other 3rd down requirements (I don’t think he is, but just for the sake of argument), the upside to turning Legarrette into an every-down back is much greater than the upside to turning Lumpkin into an acceptable third-down back.

Our offense becomes much, much more difficult for the defense to read if we’re a legitimate threat to pass with Blount in the game. On the other hand, if Lumpkin develops the 3rd-down skills then we retain the same predictability problem we had with Graham.

The only time I’d like to see Lumpkin is if we need to rest Blount.
