GB: Dallas Cowboys newest running back isn't fair

[dupree89]

Bookmarked.

If he's not great I'm gonna post this every time you chirp up at me.

you don't strike me as the type that would throw something back in someone's face.

I’m glad they followed up the Blue pick with Mafah to get complete opposite skill sets during 4 quarters . And a guy like Sanders not even 30 who flashed in Philly rounds out the trio . I like it . Either Williams or Vaughn is not making the squad prediction .

I'm not saying he's Emmitt, Dorsett, or even Zeke. I'm just giving the kid a chance and being excited we MIGHT actually have a run game. Live a little, dude.

College stats need to be kept in proper perspective. Bestowing NFL impact player status on a guy based on accomplishments at the college level is foolish. Look up Blue’s career stats at Texas and compare them to this guy’s college stats:

36 games, 2,747 yards rushing, 31 touchdowns, 602 yards receiving, 2 touchdowns, 34 kickoff returns, 904 yards (26 yard avg. return). His team played in the NCAA playoffs once during his career.

Then guess who this guy is.

I'm not usually a "told ya so" type.

Not a highlight tape, just tape.

And Texas had a bad *** OL.

Soon as he breaks a big run or scores they'll be his biggest fan

Yeah this forum is full of hindsight picks and couch coaches

Not if he fixes it.

Zeke fumbled in his first (maybe second) nfl game. Then the were practicing ball security and he got much better.

Murray for example had a habit of going for extra yards and fumbling in big moments and basically said he wasn’t going to change how he plays or holds the football.

Lol. There’s a difference in mentality there.

Right. I made the comment after he was drafted. When someone said he had fumbles in college. I said that can be corrected.

Zeke had really low fumble numbers didn’t he? I remember a stat where he didn’t even fumble in high school. Lol.

yep you're too much of a gentleman

After the Blue pick, Booker made even more sense. And Blue made a lot of sense after the Booker pick.

Well said. I agree.

 

[Blackrain]

its what we need for sure. A guy that can take one 65 yards.

Amen that takes the wind out of a defense pretty quick very demoralizing when you got a guy that fast and you flat out just can't catch him.
In all seriousness I think he has as much if maybe not more speed than Tony dorsett not saying that he will ever attain the status as Tony was an incredible player that played in a much more violent time.
But Blue certainly shows the potential to give us some exciting football to watch in the running and the passing game.

I think the combination of Mahah and Blue are going to surprise many of our members here. One has the power to break tackles on a regular basis and the other can make would-be tacklers look like fools. I'm thinking this year's version of our OL will make our running game work exceptionally well. It might take a while to jell as need be, but once it happens, success will come in a big way.

One is already making many here “look like fools”.
