Video: Rookie RB Jaydon Blue

I was thinking the same thing the other day that Blue reminded me of Tony Dorsett.I remember when Dorsett would catch a screen pass and have good blocking on the play. Those were exciting plays Tom Landry had Dallas running some well executed screens,and Jaydon Blue has the speed to run these type plays.When Tyler Booker pulls and is blocking down field and Blue gets loose on a screen and takes it to the house, it will be a thing of beauty just like when Dorsett did it years ago.

Tyler Booker and Smith have extreme point of attack power. Let the Center pull and run around in the open field.

Breath of fresh air after seeing our starting RB look like he was running in mud last season.

The main reason he went in 5 was his size. But he can still put on 10 lbs of muscle and be lightning fast.

Blue 5-9, 196
149th pick in his draft class.

Jahmyr Gibbs 5-9, 203
12th pick in his draft class.

I don't think the 7 extra pounds was the difference...

Blue wasn't the top player at his position for most of his college career. Not his fault for having quality completion on his team but NFL teams draft decisions are impacted by those types of issues.

I think this running back room is going to be fine,cause this offensive line is going to be fine.Blue is going to be an excellent player and Mafah is going to surprise a lot of people .

What have you seen has prooves our o line is just fine?


Nothing, thats what. Have to wait and see.

I like Jaydon, liked him before the draft, went exactly in where I thought he would. That saying I hope next year because it sure won't be a free agent, I hope they draft an all-around RB that compliments with him well that is a 1A not a 2A like Blue is. And yes there is an astronomical chance Mafah can be at least a temp starter that helps bridge that.

But the RB situation is slightly better than last year.

Mafah and Blue will become our starting duo threat at RB sometime this year. Thunder and Lightning. Book it.

Sounds crazy but he reminds me of Tony Dorsett. From a pass catching standpoint, the way he can run routes like a wr, and the gliding elite speed. If he can solve his fumbling issues, and learn to pass block, he can be a big help to us. He won't ever be TD, who is, but he can have many moments where he will remind us of him. He's a nice option to have. He's versatile. He can run between the tackles as long as you don't have him taking the lionshare of carries. I want Williams and Mafah for that. They can be the hammers, and Blue can be the finishing nails. Lol. Close out games with his speed. We have options now.

I had created a thread in The Draft Zone back in early March saying this exact same thing: Jaydon Blue definitely reminds me of Tony Dorsett!

Oh wow! Great minds think alike I suppose.

I still think it was size more than anything. I'm not saying he can't overcome it, but it's not like there are a lot of sub 200 lb backs going in the first few rounds.

And. Yeah. He had competition at Texas, but I think they used him in college like he'll likely be used in the NFL.

If he had the same skills at 5'11'' 210-215, he likely goes much higher, imo.

Then how do you explain Gibbs?
