Has Blount lost at least 10 lbs?

[Reckedtrek]

Blount could lose 10 pounds by laying off the Doritos for a week. Even I can lose 10 pounds pretty easily. I just choose not to.

Whatever works for him. I don't see him getting cut, but one more big back who's average or a bit better would help to keep defenses honest this September.

I know there's a decent Blount detractors here but I like what I see from him so far. He's leaner and quicker and stronger. If running behind a more solid line I can easily see him having several 100 yard games this year if that's what the game plan is for the day. For the salary paid I think he provides very good value.
9th leading rusher this week with 70 yards and our line looked like swiss cheese at times last night.

Okay .. bring the hate.

Blount was very good last night. OK, ball security is job security, so it wasn't a perfect night for him, but he showed a lot of energy, huge power for that TD run -- and it looks like he's got more unpredictability to go inside or out.

There were reports that he lost weight. Also you will recall that Anthony Johnson lost about 50 pounds. BB also commented that Cannon has lost a lot of weight and is in the best condition of his career. I take these bits as evidence of strategies introduced by their new strength and conditioning coach Moses Cabrera.

I can't remember the last time he fumbled before last night

He looked young and spry. We need more if that. He needs to start showing up more against better competition, like last night, as well. Ideally, still more is wanted at the RB position, but he's not a bad stop gap until we draft someone.

And that fumble was a helmet to ball hit. That rock's friggin' tough to hold onto when that happens. I thought Blount got as many yards as he could get, given the <ahem> 'blocking' he got. (not criticizing the o-line... just that he was getting hit behind the line all night)

Yup. He had good ball security there. My one comment is, he was being stood up. He needs to get low on short yardage, then open up. Still, at his current weight, he's a top RB. If he learned to get low, he could be an all pro, maybe. He just can't seem to do it.

Hes serviceable and pushing 30. He isnt changing. He is who he is.

He deserves some blame for that. he was holding it way too low. When he's in traffic he's gotta squeeze that against his chest and nothing is popping that out.
