Are some of you NUTS? When Blount was given lots of carries in only 8 games or so he tore everyone up, ran for a 1,000. How fast we forget. Now Schaino is doing what Gruden did to Alstott…hold him back because he did not fit HIS “scheme” …How about this scheme: win games at all costs and play the guys that wil produce when given a chance. Blount is a beast but needs carries. A 7th round for him is ludicrous. Hey, how about we give up our 7th to get somneone like him. Nobody would do that so why would we? Don’t blow this one Schiano and Dominick. You need all the weapons you can get. All of your boys are getting hurt or taking Aderral. Getting a 7th for them? Figured

We aren’t getting much out of Clark and Stocker because of the style of offense we are running. Same reason for Blount. The NFL is all about “fit”. Blount simply does not fit the Schiano style of play. It doesn’t mean he won’t go to another team and set the world on fire, similar to 2010. There are two ways to run offenses, design it to fit your players or find players to fit your offense. Schiano is choosing the latter.

Anybody up for a Jared Cook for LGB trade straight up? We’re not getting much out of Clark & Stocker.

@bucs33

Did you read the posts? Only one person said it would be a good idea. Everyone else said “if” he is traded “Then”…… There really aren’t that many people asking for him to get traded, just discussing the possibility and what should be received for him.

Blount is an RFA at the end of the year and if the Schiano order does not want him around he will be gone. So why would it be “stupid” to get a good player like Jenkins, or possibly another midround draft pick for a guy who is likely to be served his walking papers.

IF we trade Blount for anything lower than a 5th I will throw up! Best case scenario IF he is traded it would be for a player…Mike Jenkins…winkwink. I think he should be retained for depth unless little Michael SMith quote about Bucaneer Man of the year from Schiano was foeshadowing, and he can be a serviceable back up to Martin.

@Pete

And the fact that you think Blount is worth a 3rd is a bit over the top. He’s an underperforming undrafted back who can’t block and can’t catch(well) and had fumbling issues. Yes he’s our best option at back up at the moment, but that doesnt mean he won’t be traded.

The Dutcher is right; where’s our RB depth if we trade Blount?

And…even if it did happen, the Bucs would not trade him for less than a forth…possibly a third. Is he worth it? Yes, he is…when you compare other 3rd and 4th rounders to him.

Jwayne, don’t get your ego up. He won’t be traded. Blount is our most reliable backupat RB. Ware would not care the load. Smith isn’t even being given playing time.

I could see a Trueblood trade though. Might get good value for him. The problem there is depth though.
