Jeff in D.C. Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'm not a Blount fan. Yes he apologized for the punch, but you have to think about what led to him doing that in the first place. Dude obviously has trouble controling his emotions & anger, and that's not a player I want here. You never know when he'd snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F Landry Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Can I ask what exactly did Blount do? Is he a serial killer, drug dealer, gang member etc... All I know is he punched someone once. That to me does not mean he should be banned for life or is a headcase or be a locker room cancer in the future (unless hes been punching people through his career so far).If you play contact sport you know there will always be scuffles, a punch thrown here & there in the heat of the moment, and to ban someone or say he is worthless based on that is ludicrous. The guy can play as he was slated as a 1st rd pick til the incident so getting him in the 4th would be a steal IMO. This. I don't give a **** about what type of people our players are if they can HELP THIS TEAM. Sorry guys this isn't the National Cupcake Fairytale League. This is the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. These are bad mother****ers. Let's just hope he can channel his rage into running people over next time instead of hitting them. If he is a good running back who can be had in the later rounds, I say why not take him? If he can help the team, I'm okay with bringing him in. All of you haters who keep mentioning the punching incident need to calm down. I know you would be rooting for him also if he is scoring TDs for us.

ddub52 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 From what I hear he has a good attitude and is a solid team player and leader. I say we use the 2nd rounder on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGutta Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 From what I hear he has a good attitude and is a solid team player and leader. I say we use the 2nd rounder on him That's a little too early IMO. Being from SoFla, I might suggest T Jason Fox in round 2... I have a feeling Blount will be there at 4.

BruinSkin Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I want McKnight!! No you don't. I'm a USC student, and he has a terrible work ethic. I'd rather draft someone with slightly lesser talent and wants to work his ass off. As a close friend of Joe told me, "He's going to wash out in the NFL."

JaimeDeCurry Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Blount would but I cannot get over his actions. I do not want that guy anywhere near burgundy and gold.

JaimeDeCurry Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 How about we wait for Ryan Williams next year? Perfect Shanny back As much as I loathe Tech, Ryan Williams is a perfect ANYONE back, not just Shanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a0tmike21 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Blount definitely has problems but I think he can be a good NFL player just needs to be kept in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Reparations Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Could Blount convert to being a fullback? He has the size and reminds me of Jacksonville FB/RB Greg Jones. I don't think Shanny uses a FB that often anyways....I guess that I am just tired of Mike Sellers not being able to block or punch it in from the 1.

skinsfan190 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 As much as I loathe Tech, Ryan Williams is a perfect ANYONE back, not just Shanny. Yeah Ryan Williams is a monster. Hopefully we won't be in position to pick him next year. Cause I think he will be a top 10 pick if he enters the draft. But if we are, I would love to get him. He has every thing you want in a RB.

Old Dominion Monarch 06 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 You know what, I personally think we need a young guy with unending fire like him. Sure he punched someone in the face, and tried to go after fans in the stands.... and while that wasn't appropriate in many's eyes, I appreciate his intensity. Even though his actions might be overkill, we need some guys on this team that have intensity and 'swagger.' I feel like our team's been softer than marshmallows since Zorn's hiring. Punch someone in the face, go after the fans, **** it, this isn't golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not that I don't want Blount, I'm fine with him, but I dont think we should sacrifice character of the players on the team for performance. That just makes us Dallas.

DGREENHULK Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 He had some nice runs including a TD in the 1st half today at the SR Bowl. He is a 2nd round guy imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 After the combine, and the Senior Bowl, I bet Blount will be a 1st rd. pick. If he makes it to the second rd, then he'll be selected before we can get to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you remember when the Bengals went threw this, it was not that long ago. Regardless of talent, if they plague a locker room and end up spending more time with police than in practice then you have wasted a pick that this team cannot afford to waste. While we are on the topic, :applause::applause::applause: to Fletcher for winning the Walter Payton award this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking For Number Four Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 How about we wait for Ryan Williams next year? Perfect Shanny back LddTmQNu4ug I live in Blacksburg, this guy is the real deal. As a freshman his vision, power, and elusiveness is off the charts. Only Adrian Peterson rushed for more yards as a freshman. He runs at a safety at full speed and then at the very last second has one of the nasty jukes in history that makes all most all of them end up without a tackle while Williams is dancing in the end zone. When the play breaks down he uses his combination of speed and vision to make something out of nothing. Time after time you see him dragging would be tacklers. Then, to top it all, his hands are very softness. He will undoubtedly be a 1st round pick which would once again make us debating LT or another position. He could very well be top 5 which I hope puts him out of consideration (meaning Shanahan does what he is suppose to). Let's Go..........Hokies!

skinsone Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He is looking good in the Senior Bowl. He is running hard and breaking tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He is looking good in the Senior Bowl. He is running hard and breaking tackles. Agreed. He is also very quick and nimble for a guy his size (I think 6'1, 245). On his TD run I didn't even realize it was him at first because he looked very elusive and fast. Not at all like a guy that size. I would easily take him in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brial85 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Head case. Unless he goes ape **** in the combine don't see him getting drafted. He's a big back but not as big as Ron Dayne and Brandon Jacobs and look at the pros those guys became. whoa... ron dayne and brandon jacobs do not belong in the same breath comparing their NFL careers. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a back that trips over his feet, lacks balance, IS tripped up and dragged down by arm tackles and lacks elite burst or speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
