Derrick Blaylock?

SECTION11 · 11-16-2004, 10:55 AM

Can this guy pick up the blitz? Can he run against the blitz?
I see that he's got speed and decent hands, but what about the rest of his game? Any injuries to speak of?

Help a brotha out here... What's the skinny on #23?

He's a FA in '05, no?

What about Shipp and Hambrick?? Shipp was pretty good when healthy.

**Rausch** · 11-16-2004, 10:56 AM

Hands off...

Brock · 11-16-2004, 10:58 AM

You can't have him.

SECTION11 · 11-16-2004, 11:09 AM

Shipp is ok, but I'm not sold on him being the back that Green's looking for. He's good between the 20's but doesn't find the endzone like Emmitt can. His speed is suspect and I don't know what he has left in the tank. A lot of scouts thought he was burned out after college from all the carries he got (sort of like Cedric Benson? could be).

I'm pretty convinced we'll take a back on the first day, hopefully the first round, but you never know.

I think Blaylock's speed will go nicely in a spread offense with Aaron Brooks throwing bombs to the best WR trio in the league...

SECTION11 · 11-16-2004, 02:42 PM

Well, fine.
Then how about this?

tk13 · 11-16-2004, 02:45 PM

Oh he's horrible, you don't want him. You need to look elsewhere. Yeah, that's it.

STEP OFF.

The Cardinals would be much better off trading us a 1st round pick for LJ. He's the guy you want.

shaneo69 · 11-16-2004, 02:53 PM

Seriously, I heard Denny Green was going to try and trade for Michael Bennett this offseason because the Vikings are ready to go with Moore and Smith, and Denny drafted Bennett.

But, but... you have Larry Johnson. C'mon, share the wealth already.

Whatever man, your team wouldn't sign Eric Hicks away to force us to go after a new DE. We owe you nothing.

Coogs · 11-16-2004, 02:53 PM

Blaylock has look very good on the two occasions he has been asked to play this season. 4TD's and 90+ yards against the Falcons. 186 yards and a TD last Sunday.

I can't wait for Monday night to see what he does. If he posts three good outings in 3 games, I suspect negotiations should begin immediately to keep him as our RBOTF. Don't really care how the game turns out at this point. Looking more to the future.

Deal.

We give you LJ, you give us your 2nd round pick...
