If Blue is legit

[Pass2Run]

If Blue can peel off a couple of 100+ yard games early..........he will get defensive coordinators' attention.

I like how we have Lamb and Pickens, so teams would be foolish to stack the box on Blue.

The makings of a high level offense are there. Now obviously there are a lot of unknowns - what kind of coach Shotty is, can Pickens not implode, etc.

Assuming most of the questions are answered positively you have a potentially good to great OL (although I still have issues with Steele), you have a quality WR corps now, a quality starting TE and if Blue is as good as some claim, you make potential at RB.

That then leaves the QB. Fingers crossed.

The main area of concern for me isn't the QB. I think he's proven he can play at a fairly high level if he has a good enough team around him. (The big question is how he will play coming off his second serious injury.)

My main area of concerns on offense are the OTs and the RBs. It's my opinion that we've taken a similar path at RB that we did last season. We brought in a couple of vets coming off bad years and are relying on late-rounders/UDFAs if the vets fail.

At OT, Guyton struggled at LT, so we're hoping he improves, and Steele started off struggling at RT but got better the further removed he was from his ACL tear. Now, I think we have options if Guyton doesn't settle in, but I'm not sure how good those options will turn out.

I know the go-to is to blame Dak for our failures, but I think enough teams have shown they can succeed with less than Dak at QB (Philly won with Nick Foles, etc.) that the problem goes much deeper than what we have at QB.

Blue is legit. My only question is how many carries he can handle and if he can fix the fumbling problem.

I like the Mafah Sanders combo to spell him .

Can't wait until TC and the 1st PS game. Now we will get, well, it is PS, scrubs, etc.
But is he doing what he is supposed to be doing. Are the surrounding players doing what they are supposed to be doing.

Say, are the back up OL actually blocking. There will be some interesting debates going on as usual.

Did you write all of this down and remember it from the previous years of rants from the fans, I could see that!

It's not what I look at in terms of skill it's what the coaches see. Again, Rico didn't come on board until late in the season.
It has nothing to do with what I think, lol

But that's what we're doing here. You've already said what you think, and now you're saying that doesn't matter? Confusing, but then again I'm old and easily confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Blue is out-producing every RB on the roster he should get the majority of the snaps. He should also be given the opportunity to be that kind of player.

I also don't see him being a Kyren Williams type of RB in terms of carries, but he can be there with someone like Gibbs/Achane.

Not really. Guys his size tend to get injured w/ too many carries. But, it doesn't matter what we think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blue is good at everything..

He doesn’t really have a huge hole in his game.

But he needs a back with him to compliment him.

Correct

Blue is a speed RB who needs space and open field. Shotty has preached a power run game, so Blue doesn't fit that mold. Blue will be a good 3rd down RB but don't run him in between the tackles. Cowboys invested in the iOL heavily, so look for inside run plays, which, means there will be a more powerful RB to handle the main RB spot.
