LeGarrette Blount's practice performance improving; ....More carries to come?

[Chief Joseph]

Kind of a nasty skank, aren't you?

Kind of a nasty skank, aren't you?

If you say so. But its obvious Martin was handed the job because Chino has a man crush on him.

[meekerbeastman]

i agree, you dont just replace a proven starter who has run well despite horrible play calling and a poor o-line for a rookie who "resembles" the running style of a man you probably wanted to sandusky back in the day.

Schiano was wrong and hopefully he is man enough to admit it and feed the beast

[Chief Joseph]

When you say "obvious" do you perhaps mean 'it's what I wanted to hear so I eagerly accept it without the benefit of critical examination?'

[meekerbeastman]

"but LGB cant pick up the blitz........."

prove it, you dont need to pick up blitzes when your draggin **CENSORED** and hurdling beeotchs

[tripblood]

Agreed ^ Time to twist up a Blount

[Chief Joseph]

You also don't need to learn the playbook when you're sitting on the bench, right? We've seen the kind of team you end up with when you let undisciplined players fail to earn their reps. What is obvious to me is that only a **CENSORED**ing moron would want to repeat that debacle just so they can see one player.

[Feel Real Good]

It takes a lot of playbook learning and quality practice to deserve the opportunity to average 3.5 yards per carry. You don't take players off the field that give you that kind of production. Without Doug Martin, the Bucs might have the #31 or #32 offense, instead of #30. Count your blessings.

so your implication is that martin not only mastered the playbook in his short time....he also is the more effective player.....which he has shown us when? the one run he bounced outside for the TD?

practice man, practice, martin has been a practice beast....... i prefer to see the game proven beast

[meekerbeastman]

"here guys read the playbook, we are a power running team, that means running inside the tackles hard......."

someone forgot to tell martin he is allowed to take a few bumps and stay on his feet

we've seen NFL games where LGB has broken 3-4-5-6 tackles in one run

[Chief Joseph]

Yes, I understand that you believe one player is more important than building a team. It's just that you're wrong is all.

Our offense could be described as sluggish, so why not unleash a known playmaker?

show me where that was said.........

you have a rookie who was handed a job he so-called "earned" in training camp because he is a "3down back" (which isnt true at this point as Ware plays the 3rds). The word was martin can block, catch, pick up blitzes etc, yeah but he is primarily a running back and until he can learn how to hit holes and make people miss in the nfl his primary job is lacking.  If there is a player on your bench that has PROVEN to be able to do the job better at this point you dont consider putting him in? how is that logical in any sense. "they're building a team" they are paid to win, who gives you the best chance to win?

[Chief Joseph]

Sacrifice discipline and lose the respect of the team so that maybe you can win a few more games that in all likelihood will be meaningless? That's a piss poor plan. Stay the course. Let Blount earn his way onto the field. The team, the coach, Blount, and the fans will all be better for it in the end, no matter how much they might whine now.

[The Anti-Java]

sounds like Schiano finally took Martins kcid out of his mouth to me.

Classy
