We went 10-6 when Blount got the rock.

Freeman only threw 6 int’s that year.

Are these coaches crazy??!?

We NEED Blount like Snoop needs Blunts!

I would rather have Martin blocking the gap while Blount runs over whoever is left.

I know, I remember the article with Graham about Lorig incapability of finding the correct hole instead of the designated hole on a running play.

Sneedy16,
Joe has been saying this for a while. I just wanted to reiterate it.

@BigMacAttack

That’s a great idea, too bad they won’t do it. I would figured that they would want their two best backs on the field just so that the defense wouldn’t just focus on just one player. Plus Blount would be a pretty decent run blocker given the fact that he can find out the right hole to run through instead of running into the closed gap (Lorig). Can’t fault Lorig for that though he is a converted DE so he just follows the play and does not have the RB instinct to find the open gap.

Trueblood didn’t have a problem with big body defensive linemen it was always the quick, small, agile guys he struggled against. Those were the guys he would get the majority his false starts off of when he tried to get a jump on them.

Now let’s bench Lorig and put Blount and Martin in the same backfield together.

The Bucs are desperate after losing Joseph. This move makes a lot of sense and they have noting to lose by trying it.

Every year in the Draft you hear about College Tackles that will project as guards in the NFL. Short notice? Yes but True has experience and isn’t a rookie.

Often times, it works if you work it.

Funny how Schiano is going with this rather than an “experiment” with Blount. Basically he’s saying it’s the line’s fault Martin gets about 3 yards every play. I don’t think Martin would have many more yards even if Davin Joseph had been playing.

I think it’s Trueblood’s physicality in the run game that the Bucs are after in making this move.

I’m with Woody on this one. I like this experiment for the fact that Trueblood is a nasty run blocker. I think playing guard will also make pass blocking slightly easier for him. He is no longer exposed on the end to speed rushers. He can now use that power on the inside against defensive tackles. The only thing I worry about is his height and the effect that has on Freeman’s passing lanes.
