Blount will continue to improve. #5 survived Blounts rookie year and with the help of Ernest Byner I can’t imagine that he isn’t better today than he was his rookie year. Jusy my opinion.

Blount can’t block & will get #5 killed!!!!!! When he’s in the game, EVERYONE knows we are running the ball

Hmmm. If this guy is that good, according to Ernest Graham….wonder what kind of deal we could get for Martin? Oh God….here we go again lol.

TrueBlue- he is really stocky- and really pumped up. Just looks so little in the huddle.

I really love to watch the guy. Just hope he can survive the pounding

@Capt Tim. Martin is not little. He’s just short. The guy’s a cannon ball.

The way Schiano used Blount reminded me of Gruden with Alstott. Waste of talent!

I’m not mad at him for trying to keep 7.5m, however from a fan standpoint it sucks and I hope he loses. (Selfish me huh) I still wouldn’t mind keeping him just for about 4 1/5 million instead

Like the guy, but just don’t see Blount as the complete package that Martin is, unlike a lot of others posters out there. Definitely agree he’s a poor fit as a part-time back, as he seems to need multiple carries to get into a rhythm. Seems obvious the team didn’t trust him as a 3rd down back either, which there is definitely a reason for whether others want to admit it or not. If the team can move him for a solid pick or as a combo with a pick for a player, it’d probably be best for both parties. A guy like Chris Ivory would be a great compliment to Martin, with the added power he brings but also the ability to pass protect and catch the ball out of the backfield. I’m sure the team could find a similar RB coming out in the draft. Maybe a guy like Taylor, Jamison, Franklin or Michael might fit the bill.

This would have been a whole lot easier if Dom did this prior to the 2012 season, when Blount was coming off a solid yet limited 2011 season and probably had a bit more value before this staff choose to stymie him this past season. How much could you expect in return for 41 carries and 100 something yards, this staff was just as bad as the last in implementing such a talented runner and then we turn around to end up gifting DJ Ware a role in our offense, coming out of NY where he was passed up for a rookie, and even then Gilbride didn’t even use Ware in his offense the way Sullivan tried to

With the glut of FA CB’s on the market and the less than stellar year Wright had, he’s trying to save every penny of that overpriced contract Dominik gave him. It’s never a good sign when a GM gushes during the presser that he’s been trying to sign Wright for two years and finally got “his guy”. Translated that means “I overpaid and have massive player wood”. Hopefully that condition can be cured on Tuesday.

Doug Martin played fantastic last year.
Blount played fantastic in his season as a starter.

I worry about Martin. He is a lil dude. Blount is a tank
I don’t know why we didn’t use Blount more. He is an incredible runner, and fun to watch. Blount sat, and the uninspiring D.j. Ware always managed to come up short on 3rd down.

The more I watch, the more I’m liking Shiano. Not figuring out how to use Blount was the one thing I didn’t like.

The guy beats defenses to death

@ T in Orlando,
Hate to agree with you, but you’re absolutely Wright.
