Albert Breer ?@AlbertBreer Gotta give Patriots' coaching staff credit on Blount. Prior to this year, always seemed to run like he was 190 lbs. Goes downhill more now.
Shocking a coach would try to correct and develop a player.
Talib and Blount were classic cases of players that had no hope and needed to go when you have a coach like Schiano. A coach like BB turns them both into difference makers.I have a sick feeling Blount will be a huge play off contributor and we will hear how he was rescued from the Bucs in the pre game shows.
Another failure by Schiano.
Blount had 7 carries for 9y vd vs NO this year...seems to the right comparision.
Martin and blount would've been a great combo. Both have games where they have a low ypc. Schiano and Co seemed to continue to give a guy 25carries a game when they were only totaling 50-60yds tops. Would've been great times to spell and see if someone else could get it going.Schiano handled it terribly because blount didn't fit his type of back. This staff had a huge issues with utilizing players to their strengths. Blount is just one of many example. Don't think blount is a key issue though.
Talib ran himself out of town. Some of the situations were sketchy and he seemed to get out of them, but he's a good CB. He has his weaknesses too. I don't think anyone could really argue with their decision to get rid of talib.
