Jaydon Blue change of pace

[Redsfan_83]

Blue has 3 years on his rookie contract to get on track. Rookie year was a bust and hopefully he's improving his stock to get in this running back rotation. I know Cowboy fans especially the Longhorn fans had high hopes on this guy but we have to realize that most players don't come into the NFL ready made to make an impact on day 1. I agree it's concerning that he didn't have more touches last year and was healthy scratches in most week but Blue has enough speed to stay on this roster and its up to his work ethic to make an impact. I don't think its the talent that's holding him back but more so his attitude in approaching the game at this point.

In year 2, Blue just needs to be a key piece in Dallas running back committee and show that once Williams comes off the field, there isn't a drastic drop in production.

Javonte is here for 3 of those remaining years, and Blue was a 5th-round pick for a reason. It's not too often that guys like him work their way without some sort of divine intervention. Let's be real, the only way he gets a chance is due to injuries, and for his sake show enough to be given that if the opportunity even comes up

Nah just make Blue a hybrid RB/ slot receiver, I believe he'll be more explosive receiving the ball

 

[RonWashington]

I think its less about Schottenheimer and more about Blue. His approach to the off season and camp will determine if he actually want to be a football player.

Everyone always begged for accountability and when we saw it first hand most people hated it.

Agree . I ended my quote by saying Blue “ has to get it together “

 

[RonWashington]

You can't teach speed, size and vision....but, when you can teach ad coach many if the other things needed, it's hard to pass up the opportunity with that kind of talent.

Too early to just “ cut him “ . You have to try to see what you got by drafting him but of course Blue has to get it straight . No more “ shoes “ don’t fit nonsense .

At Edge as a second rounder what has Sam Williams given Dallas ? Yet he was brought back on a second deal . Blue in his second year as a 5th rounder .

Nah, I think most people liked him leaning on a knucklehead. It's the vocal people stating he was going to be all-world after last year's draft that had a problem with it because it delayed them in being "right." Am I right? Am I right?

Can we get 5-7 carries a game out of him. 3-5 catches. A couple screens. That's really all they need. 8-12 touches. Not too much if the guy has any skill.

I think this is where Schott hiring comes in when you have to figure out ways to get Blue off the bench and being the relief back , change of pace speed merchant . He had 134 carries for Texas senior season in 15 games over 5 YPC and 6 TD’s.

Williams the hammer obviously the feature back pounding the trenches then Blue comes in maybe line him up in the slot or some pitches out going wide let him use his vision to get to a hole .

This is why an offensive person was hired as HC now you have this weapon to be used . And obviously if Blue wants a second contract for bigger $$ in the league he’s got to get it together .

Blue has to understand his assignments, the plays, improve blocking and no fumbling before getting on the field consistency.

This is NFL, not Madden. This is NFL, notmolympics. Being fast is meaningless. He has to be an NFL player and understand that its not college where he got away because he was a better athlete

Can we expect Williams to be available and have the season he just had or close to it? Maybe we see more of blue because we are forced to. Going into his second season he has to decide if he wants to play football or live in glamour he used to be in

Why not consider drafting another speed type RB in the late rounds..per according to our draft board value ..?

I think too many of us- myself included- had unrealistic expectations of Blue.

He was the 149th overall pick last year and people were talking him up as the number one back just because he's fast. He's not built to be an every down runner, he has ball security issues, needs to improve his awareness in blitz pickup, and, most of all, he needs to develop a better work ethic.

I do not know if Blue is a little slow in picking up the play book or there are other variables involved. But the several times last year when I thought Blue's number should have been called Schott seemed to always imply that he was making progress or some other vague reason as to why he wasn't getting snaps.
Outside of the very last Giants game he did practically nothing honestly.

My opinion.

Maybe we see more of blue because we are forced to. Going into his second season he has to decide if he wants to play football or live in glamour he used to be in

Where is the evidence of that?

 

[DarkVader33]

Who is the change of pace back Henry has had during his time in Ten and Balt?

Henry is a beast and an outlier.

Imagine if he were available on the FA market for us to talk to, sign?

That's my point, some don't get it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

or promote him to starter and cut everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works both ways, sugar cookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kskboys]

After the draft last year people were raving about him.

People rave about every pick.

Lamaar Jackson in BALT

Tyjae Spears in TENN

Thought about that, but I'm not sure he has the body type to hold up in the slot.

On both sides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
