John Adams Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 He can get to the edge fast, and now that the edge starts at Levitre, he has that much more room to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 He is a willing blocker. In every aspect, he likes contact. I don't think he'll have any issues picking up blitzing DBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 blocking? hell be out on a route every single time. and turn the 1.5 sec checkdown pass into a 85 yd TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 yup...he'll run the route and turn quick enough to actually see the quarterback get knocked on his ass. He's like TO. Ineffective without a front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 blocking? hell be out on a route every single time. and turn the 1.5 sec checkdown pass into a 85 yd TD I have to agree that his play-making ability can help compensate for the lack of a road-grading o-line - he'll make our QB, whomever that ends up being, look better.

papazoid Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 saw a piece by Gruden's camp on spiller... says and showed he is a "willing" blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 saw a piece by Gruden's camp on spiller... says and showed he is a "willing" blocker. "willing" blocker is a polite way of saying he isn't good at it, but he'll try. It is like saying a woman is "nice", has a "sweet disposition", when it is a cover to say that she isn't too attractive on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I believe "willing blocker" means not afraid to stick your nose in there and HIT somebody, not afraid to initiate contact. As compared to a soft RB or WR who does all they can to avoid contact.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I believe like most star college rbs, he probably wasn't asked to block much. Supposedly, that is the biggest adjustment from college to the pros for rbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mob16151 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 He's a sub 200 pound RB. Blocking skills need work. But if he does work at it, no reason he cant be a Kevin Faulk type blocker in the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDaDdy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Like many have already said. Blocking? If he is blocking we are using him the wrong way. Let the oline, the TEs or the full back block for this guy. As a side note I see no reason why we won't have multiple 2 or 3 RB sets. RB is by far our biggest asset on offense. Let's use em. Now all we need is Roger Saffold whose forte I believe I read was run blocking. Although I would 110% fine with getting Claussen if he is there and the front office thinks they have some viable solutions to improve the o-line on the edges.
