Stop blaming Blount. No running back (except Mike Alstott maybe) would have gotten a TD with that o-line blocking for them.

And the 4th down thing…no player is perfect on every play.

It was a good defensive stand against a mediocre offensive line.

meh, the thing that irritated me was on 3rd down blount did not bounce it out on the right side. i mean he ran right into the back of the RG/RT…and there was no one on the outside. a little studder to the right or spin and it’s a TD. but it just as much on schiano, blount had no business being in there unless he was going over the top.

blount lacks the vision to be a very good back, especially in short yardage. if the hole he hits happens to be open or if he gets the ball one on one, he is a terror in space, but the kid just can’t find his way through traffic. you watch 5 doug martin carries and 5 blount carries and there’s no question who has better vision right now

People still saying Blount can’t catch. SMH. Show us the film.

That 4th down was a busted play. Josh turns one way and if it was a planned boot to the right he would have come out of that fake hand off cleanly he doesn’t there’s a awkward hesitation then he finally gets turned around and tries to make something happened. Don’t get me wrong earlier, I do think Martin would have been a better choice I just would have liked to see a better push by the O-line and on 3rd down that guy made a great play.

What troubles me is we have a quarterback that is 6 foot 6 250lbs and we don’t try to have him run it under center on first down and have Zuttah and nicks help him in. Every year we end up on the one and we still don’t send freeman up the middle what gives joe?

Why not throw a fade route to one of our big wise receivers on the outside in that situation? I guarantee Jimmy Graham would’ve gotten a chance there.

Unless Freeman has learned to throw blindly behind his back I disagree about Blount. What troubles me the most is that our O-Line has been ineffective with the run most of the reason.

Ahhhhh Blount!! So that’s why Josh got up to his feet so hot! been wondering all week about who it was that was responsible. Thanks Joe, great post. That’s why I visit this site daily.

watching the video, there was about 0 things Blount could do to help the Bucs score a touchdown on that play after he blocked his original guy. He was on the other side of the field and Freeman was obviously not going to pass it.

Why should Blount not give up?

1. He can’t catch the ball if Freeman decided to throw it to him.
2. He can’t block anyone.
(it was already to late for a handoff, and pitches seem unlikely)

He might as well save his energy for next season and his next team.

The only man in the Buc’s organization that seems to get Blount is Dominik.

btw: Blount can do all of those things, he just has trouble picking up 1 yard. Blount is boom or bust. But his one boom is game-altering.

Go Bucs, and go Blount
