Any word on Blue our rookie Rb?

[erod]

Please explain what you mean by that. You said he is to stupid to be in the NFL.

The coaches have said he isn't grasping the playbook.

He shows no desire to even learn it. Can't play a guy who doesn't know what to do.

He's immensely talented physically. Why would he last until the 6th round?

That's why.

 

[Zman5]

Not to stress but even Tony Dorsett sat the first 10 games as a rookie to understand the offense.

He wasn't the starter but he didn't sit his first 10 games his rookie year. He played in every game and got significant playing time by mid season.

 

[Pass2Run]

The only thing keeping him on the bench is the plethora of talent in the RB room.

Rico Dowdle is currently #3 in rushing yards and even he couldn't cut it here.

Wow.

You kinda hit the nail. Cowboys seriously whiffed on Dowdle. I suspect be should have likely been taking some of Zeke's snaps the last few years of Zeke's career.

 

[dmq]

Like most RBs, they are a liability on the field until they can block. So his opportunities will be limited till he learns that aspect of his game.

and was rookie of the year i think

What's up with this guy, the hype around him coming out of college and him bringing that speed aspect to our team's running game has been a total disappointment. Has he gotten it together, will he get it together, is he even on this teams long term plans at this point. Clearly he is, he's just a rookie and hopefully he gets it really soon. We have a tough stretch, and his speed could really help this offense. Please give your thoughts

There is a reason why this RB whom we are all breathless about was chosen in the 5th Roundn and selected 149 overall.
Fumbles.
A soft UT player.
He takes up oxygen and reps that J. Williams requires.

 

[Dayton Cowboy]

They are both rookies.

Speaking of rookies and I guess this might have the potential to add some chum to the water, but has anybody heard where in the possible healing process that the young Phil Mafah is? For those of you that were able to see him in real time could you please help. Refresh my faded memory?

 

[Kwyn]

Because he's probably not as good as everyone says he is

This is the most likely reason. Occam’s razor and all.

 

[Gameover]

Rico had a better success rate than Barkley last year. Nobody wanted to hear that when I constantly brought this up in the offseason. Never understood why the geniuses in the office made at best a lateral move with letting Rico walk.

People here hoping for a miracle hitched their wagon to a 5th rd draft pick hyped to the moon by some Zoners.

 

[yentl911]

He’s not playing because he’s not very good and he fumbles - not a good combo

 

[Coogiguy03]

He’s not playing because he’s not very good and he fumbles - not a good combo

some people only saw the speed aspect and thought he was a gold mine

 

[Shotgun Dave]

Member when some Zoners said he had elements of Barry Sanders in his game?

But it’s true. Sanders doesn’t play on Sundays, and neither does Blue.

The word is that he's really fast but isn't very good.

 

[kskboys]

He is a 5th round back that is small.

And fumbles.

 

[phildadon86]

I'll guess that he isn't very smart.

Cant be.

You were SUPER excited about that draft pick.

Well. Every draft pick, but Blue was an upcoming STAR in this league. LOL.

Man, does it suck every year to be so wrong that you cant disagree the team is bad anymore?

So we could pay Osa. Oh, and Bland. Yay.

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbut.....he's fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man.

Is it only on the Cowboys? I see other players get the bag for other teams and still perform. Its like in Dallas when they get paid their performance just drops off of a cliff.

That move Harrison put on Bland the other week had Lamb going "ohhhhh". Your own teammate feels bad for you. And not in a good way.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Or hold onto the football

Nah, I was told he didn't actually have a fumbling problem in college because he recovered most of them, looool.
