Derrick Blaylock Placed on Injured Reserve

Beasley's a fullback, Mason a TB. Of course, they could keep an extra tb, but who would back up Sellers? Who was his backup last year? All I remember was a couple of the TEs playing some fullback when Sellers wasn't.


Exactly. Who backed up Sellers last year?

Rock used to be a fullback, perhaps he could backup there again. I know Mason is looking really good but there just isn't room for him on the roster. I hope we keep him on the practice squad though.

Didn't they use Koslowski or something?

Yup, that's exactly what they did. And that was very limited action.

sounds like Beasley makes the roster if he can still block half as good as he used to. He was a tough FB

Portis, Betts and Rock are the top 3. That's all we really need to know.

Pretty much, pretty much.

Hey isn't Rock about done with his contract in Washington? Wouldn't this be his last season?

If so, I could see him getting snatched up by another team next year, a la Robert Royal and Dockery.

I think you're right. If he makes the team this year, which I expect him to, I expect him to get an extension.

This could come back to bite us pretty seriously if Portis misses a few weeks here and there due to his knee flaring up. While Betts and Cartwright are both very good RBs, the combination of minor injuries plus fatigue could put us in situations where we line up a less than ideal player in the backfield in a crucial situation.

Better Blaylock to IR than Portis or Betts, but our depth is not that good at RB relative to the rest of the league.

Ideally this won't be an issue, but you never know.
