Dear Tony,
I feel you bro. It's hard. Trust me. If you are reading this, I feel your pain. You had one of the most efficient running games last year. Finally... Finally they got it. Yes... Your offensive line is cerebral and beastly. That will serve you well for 80% of the offensive plays from scrimmage next year. Very very well... I completely understand how you might be unnerved right now by that 20%. Your BFF Witt can only do so much. He doesn't line up in the backfield so he can't stone that blitz. Things may seem dire right now but there has to be a plan right? Surely the braintrust wouldn't plug a rookie RB in there to efficiently handle that 20% in his first year right.. Nahhhh. They would never do that. I refuse to believe it and hope you can also allow yourself to believe there is an overarching strategy.
There's no joking in this letter. I am legitimately concerned about your safety next year. Many of my fellow fans tend to believe that quality blocking and instincts to find/stone those blitzes is easily replaceable. I'm of the opinion that the yards can be gained albeit at a much lower number but that blocking... that ability to keep you upright often... I just don't see that as being easily replaceable. I joked on this board about you making an appointment to fit yourself for a body cast in preparation for next season. While I sincerely hope you stay upright, I have to say I now have my doubts. I'll be praying for you from now until the final minute of next season. Love you bro. Keep hope alive.
Sincerely Yours,
Your boy Bleu
