News: NBC: Eagles sign RB Jaydon Blue to active roster

[Coogiguy03]

That's the funny thing about OL, skill players playing behind a crappy OL look crappy. Put them behind a good OL, and "voila", they look infinitely better.

You're right, we shall see what happens

Milton and Blue
Eagles fans are posting …. Championship …

Uh, no. It's a decimated team. On offense, they've basically got a pre-season roster.

He's about to look like Bucky Irving. Yep, he is gonna torch the Cowboys defense if they're not ready, and the Cowboys will then see why we're missing speed and pop on this offense, regardless how the coaching staff felt about him. That's what they're missing. The guy that can take the ball the distance. That can take some running back screens the distance. I'm not saying will rue the day we cut him, but I'm telling you there's one thing on this team people keep talking about RB 2. And that's him 'cause they wanted Thunder and lightning, well, we have a bunch of Thunder. We have no lightning, we have running backs that are all just kind of between the tackles. Some might have a little wiggle, but we're missing Davis big time and cutting blue, to me, was a mistake..

But we'll find out in the game, because now we can see it him on another team with an actual. Offensive line that maybe could block and open up holes. And maybe they just tell him don't worry about the plate, just go find the hole and go...

You don’t ever have to be sorry big man! You’re one of the good guys!

The Eagles o-line is decimated. Blue isn’t running for squat if he gets a chance to play.

 

[LowTech]

The trash using our scrapes

 

[zekecowboy]

They aren't a better team.

I guess we will see next week.

 

[RonWashington]

Based on a 14 point output at home today by McKee and that Eagles offense sitting now at 2-4 Philly might just go Joe Milton against Dallas next Monday night under the bright lights prime time .

Did this guy just suggest that the Iggles have an offensive line, or am I reading things?

Didn’t see him playing today!

With Dameon Pierce averaging a robust 2.9 yards per carry today, the Eagles gave Jaydon Blue.....zero touches.

Blue just cannot be trusted on an NFL football field. Never quite understood some fans' delusions about this guy. He was a 5th round pick that wasn't even a full time starter in college.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Let's say Blue does play against Dallas next week and he does have a good game- what would that prove?

I could probably average 4 yards per carry against this defense. For a few plays before I end up in a full body cast, but I think I could last a couple carries.

Me either, I'm a longhorn fan, watched all his college games. He was barely serviceable then and was never going to make a mark in the NFL unless there were massive changes, which there haven't been.

And the #2 RB was injured on the first offensive drive of the game. The coaches must have been terrified to put Blue on the field. He was only brought up on the active roster in case they literally had no one else at RB.

It's a shame too, because he's talented. Real explosive and can make tacklers miss. He just doesn't have it between the ears.
