Legarrette Blount, Philadelphia Eagle

[Rome]

I would agree with the suggestion that he might not beat father time if he was a workhorse running back that averaged 20-25 carries a year.  Fact is he hasn't.  He's fresher than most guys his age precisely because he hasn't played a lot of downs and received the requisite amount of punishment.

As for the rest of your comments, they're all supposition.  If this, if that.  They may or may not happen.  I have no doubt he won't be the #3 back like you suggested and he will definitely make the team barring injury.  He's going to be their #1 back this year and Mathews will be gone.  I have no doubt about that.

He's an Eagle.  Therefore he'll suck.  Logic.

He's a hammer which is nice to have.

But it doesn't mean shtein if the interior OL gets their shtein pushed in all the time

stop biting roob off of twitter

you want a guy in short yardage who cant be arm tackled and falls forward when hit....yes in a perfect world your line would move the opponent on every down and you or me could be the running back....we dont live in a perfect world

the only thing here that doesnt make sense in terms of fit is that blount seems like the kind of player you sign if you are a superbowl contender like hes a piece that gives a really good team a look they may not otherwise have on their roster that could put them over the top

You and lil guy have to stop this twitter obsession. I wasn't on earlier and this is the first time I've looked at any internet since my post earlier. I don't bite off of anyone. I'm able to think on my own.

Funny thing is if I'm super excited over it then you'd be dropping "omg such a homer of course you like it"

Make up your mind

After reading the thread - Jesus Christ the misery over a one year cheap signing is amazing

I disagree with the notion you need an every down back, SD. RBBC's can and have worked numerous times and the league has been trending that way for years.

Charles also has Buckhalter like knees. I would've liked to take a shot on him too but it's not the end of the world they didn't get him. Plus he said he's been eyeballing playing for Denver for awhile

My biggest problem with Blount is he's not a good fit for the offense. When has a Reid/Pederson style offense ever used a big back? Theres zero chance he accepts a role strictly as a short yardage back so that argument is null. I think he makes the team for the simple fact that he's more talented than their other options...or he could be this years Reuben Randle.

he signed with the eagles over offers from arizona and the giants

i imagine part of that is he took one look at depth chart and figured he was going to get his (alshon definitely did the same thing). but thats him thinking about himself, which is like j watching a phillies game pitched by nick pivetta and expecting a win. its not realistic. 

he looked nearing toward cooked to me last january. maybe he was injured. i dont know.

roob say it ALL the time and you pretty much typed his regular take on big backs verbatim

[PhillyPhreak54]

ok...so I guess we're kindred spirits

I'm gonna look at your posts with a magnifying glass from now on and if any are remotely similar to some beat...then you're automatically accused of mimicking them.

[ice grillin you]

it's not a magnifying glass when he's posted it 50 million times then I see it somewhere else word for word...it's pretty much a sledgehammer to the forehead

Ok whatever you say, twitter watch dog

At the risk of going off topic, glad they got Blount. He's cheap and they were down to like 1 RB last year. There might be something going on off the radar with him but coming off 18 tds is impressive. I'd be happy with 7 TDs this year which is where I'd set the O/U. They have also sucked in the RZ for years so it can't hurt.

Signing with Detroit. 1 year $4.5 million. I'd of liked to have him back at last years salary but that number is too big. He earned that bump like a mother farger

Bummer, I don't think Ajaya can handle a full season.  love the guy but he sure seems injury prone.  Need a third back in a bad way.  Go Howie Go!
