BOL Round Table

I could see Sims as a great slot receiver or at least in the return game. I agree that he has too much potential to get bogged down in the RB numbers. I trust our coaching staff to get him enough opportunity to see the field if he wants it bad enough.

Great talent on a very talented football team. Although if he was gonna have a roll. I'd think we'd hear more about him seperating himself from some of the other guys. That doesn't seem to be the case.

Sorry... but he doesn't compare to the other rb's we have right now. I've never viewed Sims as a true rb. I just think that's the only spot they could get him on the field at the time. I don't know where he ends up. But tell me. Who is he gonna take reps from at the rb position? He'll get reps in the Spring no doubt. But once Lacy is healthy & Drake gets here in the Summer. That's another long jam of talent for him to move through.

He has very good size and great athleticism. I realize that every RB on our roster is a great talent but he is a good enough athlete to contribute despite all that talent. He just needs time in the system and good things will happen for him. The beauty of our situation at RB is that we have different players with different skill sets and Blake's skill set is unique. He may never be a starter for us (same could be said for Jalston Fowler, Dee Hart, TJ Yeldon, and Kenyan Drake) but he can definitely carve out a role for himself.

I just worry about moving him around so much that he never develops properly. I think he could be an excellent Safety (also a log jam of talent there) or even a cornerback (where he would have to wait his turn as well). No clear position where he could be plugged in and start but 5 years ago he could have started at numerous positions for us. We are just loaded.

We did. He was 3rd string, was he not?
