JLC says Blaylock is a Skin

I wonder if little Westbrook will be in the mix. I played against him when he was at Salisbury, He's not bad at all.

Why is he not on the roster?

My exact sentiments. This is a great move based on the injury history of Portis and Betts. If this is this year's version of the TJ Duckett move, then our front office is definitely learning. We get a solid veteran #3, he's only 27, knows Saunders and his 700000 page playbook, and we didn't piss away draft picks to get him. Welcome Derrick Blaylock, good job FO.

I dont see the big deal, they carried 4 RB's last year. Portis, Betts, Cartwright, and Duckett. All they did was replaced Duckett.

Yeah, and thats great and all. All I am saying is that they had 4 RB's last year and they will probably have 4 RB's this year. I really dont see Rock going anywhere.

The thing is, league roster restrictions will force either Rock or Blalock to be inactive anyway. Rarely do teams activate 4 running backs on game day.

Yay! Common sense wins again! Having Blaylock is a good move all around. He will be able to fill in if Portis or Betts are banged up, as well filling in for Cartwright's ko duties should he be unavailable for a game. He knows Saunders system and flourished quite well in his limited starting duties.

It sure isn't a very good idea to carry less than four runningbacks in a run first system with a developing qb. And I don't see how Rock has been so loyal. Betts has been loyal. It's not like Rock had any better opportunities. I mean, he has played for the team he is under contract to. To not sign needed depth out of perceived loyalty to a backup is folly.

I also think it's a great depth signing. He's not gonna break the bank.

Also, CP status is uncertain, as far as his time frame for when he will be ready to go full speed.

[freddyg12]

good signing. Whoever is the 3rd string back is going to get significant carries this year. I am not comfortable w/Rock stepping in as the #2 when CP or LB is hurt.
