LeGarrette Blount Claimed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

……….You should have just release ONE player!

…….I hope we can get Gado!

Stupid mistake!!!!!!!!!!

Who’s going to get the goal line carries? Someone else. Who got ‘em last year? Not White – he didn’t have near as many TDs as 2008.

Here are some things you DO get to look forward to:
1) not getting pissed after a drive-killing 15 yard penalty for fighting ((One would think that Blount would have been more careful not to EVER get into a fight on the field after his college days. Doesn’t appear he can be trusted for that. Not as big an issue if he was a super-stud, but that’s not the case here.

2) not getting pissed over a special teams play ‘cause now the team has more depth there by cutting a player that wasn’t likely to contribute a great amount. ST killed the Titans most of last year. Addressing it (in all facets) was a key this offseason, not finding a 3rd RB.

3) if you are a Blount fan, then you have a greater chance of actually seeing him work rather than sporting the awesome two-toned blue. (yeah, not much, but it’s something)

No.

Was Blount a true "3rd RB "?

No. He may have been listed 3rd on our team, but this guy has so much potential to be a star in this league.

What happens when we can’t get CJ signed next year? What happens when Ringer wants to go to another team so he can start? One of these scenarios is very likely to happen next year. It would just be nice to have a guy like this on our roster.

I’m not questioning Fisher in bringing in 2 people that are likely to contribute on special teams, because God know we need that after last year. The question is why Blount? There were so many other options on this roster who not only fit the qualifications of “not going to play special teams or contribute anything this year,” but the problem is that none of these guys have the potential that Blount has. Guys like Rusty Smith, Fernando Velasco, Ryan Mouton. Those all would have easily passed through waivers.

But I’m over this. It’s all we’ve talked about for the last 2 days. And he might have gotten 30-40 touches this season in all reality.

I’d rather start talking about the Raiders.

We all have our opinions on it… Some are upset about the move, some could give 2 shits… Time to move on

I told you so.

I’m sure the Titans have weighed the pros and cons of Blount and decided he is not worth the 3rd RB spot. They watched him on the practice field and we did not. My guess is he can’t play special teams and he can’t pass protect or catch passes.

Last year, CJ carried the goal line plays, i’m sure he would not be pleased to give the ball to the 3rd RB to score the TD. Remember also that Ringer was a workhorse in college and he is more than capable to share the load with CJ.

We are more thin in the LB and Secondary. I’m glad we took more LBs and safeties.

Simple fact is, he didn’t. It’s a shame, but of course this won’t stop anything from happening.

But you can bet that if Ringer goes down, everyone will remember this and say ‘We shouldn’t have gambled with him’.

I mean, Rusty Smith is a QB we could have risked with less recoil. We already have a good starting QB and a good veteran backup. Velasco was an asset, easy to risk. Mouton… well, we all know how well he’s doing lately (not well at all.)

But risking not only the 3rd-string HB in such a physical position as runningback, but a guy with potential and freight train power, something we don’t have? Losing him has a lot more recoil than losing the others.

I have to say, I have no idea what Fisher saw on that board that made him decide to roll the dice with Blount.
