Jaydon Blue would be our slot receiver

[nobody]

Agree. But he can. He's very versatile. He's a nice weapon.

One of his biggest downsides is pass blocking and blitz coverage. He's not good at that and is a bit undersized for it, but for speed and elusiveness he's good. He seems to be coming in with the right attitude too. We'll see how things go. I'm rooting for him.

 

[Pass2Run]

Don't get it twisted. Blue is an outstanding running back. That's what they brought him in for: to be a RB.

But he can catch out if the backfield, and play in the slot

He's more of a RB though, who can play some slot. We'll see motions with him, etcetera.

I pray that our coaches understand how to use Blue. I don’t want a Pollard situation where we waisted the first few years of his career because our coaches didn’t understand how to use him.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Heck no, Blue is a Tony Pollard type of back. And used the same way.

 

[mcmvp]

lol

 

[Risen Star]

Bob, teach this man how to bold font. He's over playing his hand.

 

[Runwildboys]

I doubt it. With Turpin and lamb getting a ton of snot snaps there probably won’t be a ton of opportunity for blue to see action at wr unless we get absolutely beat up at the position in camp.

I'd say that since they banned CeeDee's nose wipe, there'll be no snot snaps.

When we selected Blue, there were better RBs on the board, so the cowboys were looking for a WR and got one in Blue, with his agility, hands and speed it would be a nightmare to cover him in man to man.
I’m liking our draft even more

What do you guys think ?

I think Blue is an outstanding receiver out of the backfield and in the slot.

I don't think there were better ones on the board, or Dallas would have taken them. They stuck to their board. They took BPA every time.Period.
Who's board are you referring to?

 

[pansophy]

I don’t think so.

They took Blue because IMO, he’s what they don’t have in the roster. Sanders and Williams aren’t burners and neither is Vaughn. I don’t know how serious this team is about Sanders and Williams…but if they are….im gonna say yes Blue offers the one thing no one else on this roster does is runaway speed.

Blue is not a slot receiver. Hes a running back who catches passes. It’s not like Pollard who they actually had out the slot in Memphis.

Riley’s running scheme is made for someone like Blue, which is why Deuce did well in it.

 

[AKATheRake]

Can have a smaller version of Deebo Samuels type of role for sure.

Was what I thought once I saw some footage.

 

[GMO415]

Nope.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Turp

But interesting to have both Turp and Blue on the field at the same time.
You can hand off to both, you can send both deep.

How many teams have 2 corners than could keep up, let alone a corner and a LB?

 

[Jarntt]

Why does every always try to turn these RBs into slot receivers and it never happens and won’t either Blue.

 

[gimmesix]

I agree and when we go 3 wide it’s gonna be Turpin. Blue and Turpin are guys you scheme to get the ball in their hands. Hopefully the new staff sees that.

I want to see this staff use Turpin every time we go three-wide. He's a weapon that got underused last year. I don't think he can hold up to being a No. 2 receiver because of his size and role on returns, but No. 3 should be his spot to lose after what he showed last year when given the chance.

I think his new contract shows that Dallas believes he needs to play a bigger role.

Great Idea!! I have been watching that kid run track since he was little

 

[dogberry]

How many runs and passes would be optimal for Blue?

When he plays does the defense have to replace a linebacker with a defensive back?

 

[popp1234]

Not really feeling Blue as "WR". I would like using him more as a duel threat as an RB and running isolated routes out of the backfield (against LBs and/or safeties).

I hadnt even thought of that. Duuuuuude... Thats awesome!

 

[chagus]

That’s silly. He’s a RB. He’s a good pass catcher but that doesn’t mean he lines up as a WR

Why not?
