SD does not have a poor Run D. They are no 1 in the AFC and no 2 in the NFL even AFTER we ran big on them.

Judging them on 2 games alone is a poor idea, I agree.

But Blaylock has run good in limited action last year, and then again in full game and limited action this year. He's gotten a lot of carries over the last two years, and based on that, I'd give him a B or B+ rating.

On a team with a solid O Line I think he'd be a 1,000 yard rusher. Nothing outstanding, probably no probowler, but solid. JMO.

when he is in a pile, he seems to squirt out the other side, doesn't land where he is hit

I think on a team with an o-line like KCs he could be 1300 yard rusher and get 50 catches for around 500 yards. Better than just average, but as you said probably not a Probowler. He just does not have the nose for the endzone that Priest does.

Outside of Emmit Smith, who does?

:)

Let's see how LJ does in the remaining games.
A good day against the Raiders, though.
Game ball?

SD away will be a test.

Either way, we can deal Blaylock or LJ for some help on D.

I would say, deal Blaylock.

Nope. Blaylock will be a free agent after this season.

Good luck, Derrick...please sign with the NFC...
 

If Blaylock signs as a FA with another team and becomes a starter, we will get a decent comp pick (3rd round?) the following year won't we?

ROFL

Probably not that high. I'd expect a 6th, maybe a 5th. He wasn't a starter for us, and the comp picks aren't usually that hight anyway.

So we would get something then? I guess assuming he became a starter.

Frankly, I doubt any team is going to sign Blaylock with the intention of making him a starter.

Q: Did Larry Johnson surprise you?

VERMEIL: “No, in fact, you could see it. When Derrick (Blaylock) got decked like he did, and we were playing Larry in there, you could just see him gaining confidence and power. He was generating energy every time he touched the ball. You could feel it. He just got a game ball – first one.”
