Alfred Blue

He had a few plays where he impressed me. Overall, I'm not sure if his great performance was due to him so much as it was due to poor run D by Cleveland, but all the same this is the best he's looked. For a 6th round rookie I'm a big fan.

 

I think the story on Blue was that he was injured a lot in college, and then caught in a numbers game with a crowded backfield. Reminds me of Arian at Tennessee.

Give him some time and he might be a fixture back there. Not a world beater. But Foster-lite will do.

 

I understand that the Brown's defense is not great against the run, but I was still impressed with him. He really gave his all. I think he will get better and better given the opportunity. Sort of like Mallet.

 

Rick Smith should be fired for drafting him

Seriously though:

A problem I've noticed from him is that he tends to just run instead of being patient. Was a big issue early on in the season and the early parts of the Browns game.

As the game went on, I noticed he was definitely slowing down and thinking instead of just running.

I don't see full-time starter in him, but I definitely see an upper-echelon backup who is also great in ST.

 

Also forgot to add this gem

I noticed his slowing down too but I just figured he was completely worn out. I mean 35 carries is a ton.

 

McClain is a big (pun intended) Baylor guy. I assume a lot of the Seastrunk stuff was tongue in cheek.

 

Yeah that could probably be it, I hope not though.

 

What happened?

 

I think he's a J.A.G.
Solid #2 player though. But I do not think he can be a day and and day out #1 player like Foster. They possibly grabbed the wrong LSU running back.

 

We neet to bring in AD. Cut Foster.

 

Why not have both. Not like we're paying a QB big money.

 

bad gameplan/inability to throw the ball....basically a terrible offensive game.
