Blount on Broncos

[Southieinnc]

Have you made the call yet?

Said no thanks. Attitude,attitude. If he wasn`t a whiner and punk, I would like the power and his deceptive speed no doubt. Hell, it`s only for 6 games ( hopefully more) supposse it might be workable. He will be fairly cheap also. Ok, make-in call!

Kind of a mixed bag. I thought that Blount was still a very good runner when NE signed him last year, but other than a couple of games he didn't do much for them. He is not very versatile, a quality the Broncos seem to value, particularly pass protection. And the way our run blocking has been, I'm not sure that any back would be too productive. Add to that Blount's apparent reluctance to not get enough work, and I'm inclined to pass on picking him up.

I'd rather they make a run at Ben Tate.

Blount or Tate would add serious talent to the anemic Broncos offense around Peyton Manning. I'm not sure they're prepared to do that yet.

MN already claimed tate

Just saw that. Makes total sense. Can't believe no one got the slugger yet.

I don't think Tate or Blount would fix the issues on O-line. I don't think the backs we have are the problem.

If the Broncos don't draft tackles in the first two rounds, Peyton should demand a trade because they're not going to win til that swiss cheese line is addressed.

Actually he's exactly what DEN needs....a guy to get the tough yards and he's still durable enough to handle a decent workload in those cold late season/playoff games.

In PIT imo I think Bell running style may have influenced him to think he could also be that elusive yet power back. He started to dance a little more instead of hitting the hole hard like he was earlier in the year.

Denver can run the ball but they chose not to. The o line isnt as good this year due to they dont run the ball and any team that knows that makes it easy to make life hell for Manning. Just rushing the passer every play is what teams are doing. Thompson Id rather go with more often then Blount. Just saying.

Looks like Blount is going to NE

 

[TxHeat]

Looks like Blount is going to NE

yup...beefing up for winter ball.

 

[MrDoc420]

Why the hell NE would want him back is beyond me. Oh well.....looks like it was for next to nothing.

....why not.....??

Well I would say he has been a locker room cancer just about every where he has gone. Throw in the Patriots seem to be doing just fine without him so not sure he can add much to the team but he has the potential to really destroy the team.
