Seriously. I do think the Abanikanda signing is a potential Blue replacement.
Blue is ludicrously fast and shifty but is apparently an immature guy who has serious fumbling problems on the field.
Abanikanda is not very shifty, but he is very fast in a straight line and has zero fumbling issues. He’s also 217 pounds. He’s a full size RB. I also haven’t seen any reports about his maturity/personality being a negative like Blue.
They're not gonna replace Blue after his rookie year, he may have to earn his way back onto the roster,
but II hate to break it to you,
Some of our other undrafted free agents are low round picks it took them almost 3 seasons before they got time one was named Miles Austin, one was named Rico Dowdle, the other is Malik Davis, these guys did not do well for three seasons, but they still ended up on the team, they found ways to contribute on the practice squads, or during practice, on scout teams, and whatnot ,but Blue is not being replaced after his rookie year,
he's just being put in a doghouse, for now..
You've already seen the replacement for Blue, his name is Malik Davis also in Year 3, and he's just now starting to see things the way the coaches feel he can not be a liability on the field, blue has got plenty of ability he's got all the height weight speed He's a carbon copy of Gibbs ,
unfortunately he obviously doesn't have the football IQ or the practice habits of a professional, yet ,and they're going to make him wait but this man's speed is not being cut off this team, how long did Deuce Vaugn hang around 2 or three seasons? they're going to give him plenty of chances,
Isreal, is just another edition to see if they can find something to help them out if they need it ,it's an emergency guy that's what the practice squad is... Mean Malik Davis came off the practice squad they had a spot for a running back he took it that's it this is not An indictment on Blue..
