Blue: The game has slowed down for me

[TheMarathonContinues]

Lots of hopeful stuff. Reminds me a bit of 91.

Different game, different time of course, but back then I knew we were on the verge of something. I’m just hoping the Jerry negative karma can be overcome. Let him sit there and act like it was all him. Everyone knows it wasn’t.

Hope so man…..

I think the reason for optimism is for once in a very long time they addressed safety and have interior linemen on both sides of the ball. The trenches are tough and physical. Linebackes and edge are the concern but there’s hope there

Can we start MORE threads about quotes from guys that suck?

Blue sucks? Where's the evidence of that?

 

[lopey]

Explain to me how the game slows down for a player….in the offseason? Hoe does he know this without actually playing

 

[Xizor]

Blue sucks? Where's the evidence of that?

Haha for real. His 14 yard TD run against the Giants was a thing of beauty. I for one hope we see more of that. However, to be fair, it is the offseason where we get a lot more talk and zero action. Let's hope he backs up the talk this year.

 

[Kwyn]

Thats the equivalent of playing a 45 record at 33 speed.

Can't wait to hear what message he gets when playing it backwards.

Youngsters.......no shame in googling this.

Turn me on deadman

 

[ghst187]

He was only a 5th round draft pick.

And there’s a reason that despite his speed he wasn’t a 1-3 round pick in an ungreat RB class

 

[visionary]

Show me dont tell me

 

[Pass2Run]

Yeah, he always needed a bit to develop. Maybe two years. But if he builds lower body strength and runs more patiently as far as shorter runs, he'll be good..

? ?

Not sure what you mean there, respectfully.

I meant how the defense is very unproven but promising.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Show me dont tell me

He hasn't had a chance yet.

Patience grasshopper.

 

[Rayman70]

Sure kid. Let's see it in August

Zero expectations for Blue from me. Can he pick up a blitz and not fumble the ball?
Will be a bonus to me if he makes the team and makes any contribution. Will be happy to be surprised

Did you not watch him play last year? Blue picked up the blitz very well many times. Plus, he only fumbled 1 time, so where are you getting this overdramatization that Blue suddenly has a fumbling problem or can't pass protect?

 

[America's Cowboy]

Not sure he’ll make it if they can’t trust him with an occasional blitz pickup and def not if he puts the ball on the ground

There you go, making up stories once again.

If you personally don't like Blue, just say so. It will ve respected. But stop with the made up false accusations.

Guess everyone else is making up stories too?
Or are you the one making up stuff?

NEGATIVES
— Limited frame/size decrease effectiveness as a between-the-tackles runner.
— Needs to work on ball security. Too many fumbles on limited carries.
— Lapses in finding the immediate threat as a pass protector.

SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES​

• Alarming ball security issues with four fumbles lost on limited touches - carries the ball too loosely when hitting the second level.
• Lacks consistent processing speed in pass protection, leading to mental errors and free rushers that will get his quarterback killed on Sundays.

Literally were all glaring things in his scouting reports from multiple sources….
Hope he does well and juices the position room I’m just not buying into the message board excitement about him yet.

Literally, all pertaining to his college years. How did this pertain to Blue's professional rookie year? Did you watch Blue perform for the Cowboys last year? He fumbled the ball 1 time (Javonte Williams fumbled it 2 times). Blue pass protected pretty good the few times he had to. Not once did the defender he was blocking get to the QB.

So tell me, where did Blue show any fumbling problems or pass protection problems last year during his rookie year as a professional football player for the Cowboys?

That site also says:

"Given his developmental track at Texas and limited workload, Blue projects as a mid-round selection with significant upside. If the ball security and pass protection issues get cleaned up, Blue has the juice to become a dynamic complementary weapon who can turn any touch into a highlight reel touchdown."
