Lol. He got cut and I doubt anyone picks him and his all world skills. He just isn't good and add that he is a scumbag and now you have a new mcdonalds frycook.
I cut Blount based on the string of practice-squad reports on Friday--The Huddle, KFFL and Rotoworld all ran blurbs that Blount was about to be cut. Now that he's made the 53 man roster, I wish I'd have kept him in my dynasty, touchdown heavy league. I have the feeling the Titans caught wind that he probably wouldn't make it through waivers. A strong runner like him on the Titans has some pretty good upside.Here's the latest...LeGarrette Blount ticketed for practice squadPublished Thu Sep 2 11:58:58 a.m. PT 2010(KFFL) Tennessee Titans RP LeGarrette Blount is a strong runner, but his knowledge of the playbook remains limited and he's still considered a liability in pass protection, according to The Nashville Tennessean's Jim Wyatt. That combination figures to make him a candidate for the eight-man practice squad over the roster. RP Samkon Gado has a good feel for the offense and is much more valuable on special teams. However, he does not catch the ball and might not have the upside of Blount. RP Alvin Pearman, who is also in competition for the last running back spot, does not have a single carry in the preseason. He has experience in the return game, but the team has other options for that role.

Prison bound. A guy with a bad temper, low IQ and a sense of entitlement. Bad bad combination.

Attention KMart shoppers, we have a blue light special on aisle 5 ! For the next 10 minutes on aisle 5,you can get socked in the jaw by KMart employee of the month, LeGarrette Blount ! Football helmet optional
Love how you condemn the kid in his early 20's for making the same type of mistakes alot of testosterone filled young men before him have made. I know his situation is more high profile, but seriously.

Wild guess here, you're defending him and don't know why, low and behold he's on your dynasty roster. You made a bad pick, move on and don't bother defending this trash.

Kid had 137 carries for 1002 yds rushing and 17 TDs in 2008 for Oregon. He was on his way to a nice career there but obviously made that not happen. Anyone that just condems the guy obviously has never done a thing wrong in their lives. 7.3 ypc and 17 Tds in 2008 for a big time school. Maybe he got lost along the way and needs to mature but so did Mike Williams and now he is playing in Seattle.
I worked at Kmart and it not that far a stretch to think an employee might knock out a customer. Sunday Mornings the day the weekly Adds came out they used to line up at he door 2 hours before the store opened to save $8 on a TV and use to run in like mad people when they opened the door knocking us employees over like we were not even there.. Then they would scream and yell at you when the store had no more garbage bags for $3 left and you tell them to get a rain check. I used to dread that.

He may have nice numbers but he was a late rounder from a talent perspective IMO.

If he had not done what he did and put up strong numbers as a Senior I promise you he would have been a 2nd-4th round selection at worst. Ben Tate and Montario Hardesty were 2nd rounders this year, after the top 2-3 the RB talent was pretty thin MS.But we can disagree
Nope, I have him on exactly 0 rosters. The K-mart stuff was funny, joking around type stuff. You say - "prison bound". Really? Low IQ, sense of entitlement, you know this how? You make a statement like you have never made mistakes when you were younger. Not defending him as much as every young man who ever made a few mistakes in their lives.

As of right now, nobody. Seriously. FB Ahmard Hall isn't a ball carrier even in a pinch (17 carries in his 57 game career).They will add probably two RBs from yesterday's cuts. It just hasn't happened yet.

I consider myself a liberal but you have posters of John Kerry surrounded by bleeding hearts. To take a page from the right wing, how about some personal responsibilty and accounting for one owns actions.

who's condemning him? did you see what he did after the BSU game? after sucker punching the BSU player, he tried to take on the whole stadium. the whole thing was rather disturbing actually.just having a little fun. the guy deserves being the butt of jokes. he did it to himself.and anyway, the guy is nothing special talent-wise, so being not smart and losing his temper badly, makes him just another guy who aint gonna make it in the NFL............would you like fries with that, sir?

So pretty much time to officially cut bait at this point...? Have hung on to him now for quite some time, through a Dev year when he hardly played, through not being drafted, through going from SF to TEN, and now through the first few hours of being cut.
This has gotten quite tiring. Is it appropriate now to say "When"...?

I expect Fisher has his fingers crossed Blount clears waivers. He seemed to like the guy and the practice squad seems likely.The Titans kept 6 WRs and then too many LBs because they are unhappy with some of them this summer. They signed two LBs today and we may need to just wait til all that shakes out.BTW Hall is the only one on the roster that should be looked upon for a very tough and obvious one yard plunge. He's the prototypical FB with the ball, hard-nosed and not fancy one bit.

do you have any idea what type of emotional roller coaster you go on when you perform on that type of stage? Fairly easy to go overboard and not even know it especially when you are a young kid that doesn't know much about anything. For you to continue to carry it around with the guy is kinda ridiculous. Lets move one, and root for this young man to be a successful citizen. No sense in bagging on him for the past as it doesn't do anyone any good except give you a small sense of, "i'm smarting than a football player' which shouldn't really matter all that much cause this dude is gonna make 90k in the next 17 weeks while he's on the practice squad.

That is so messed up.
please keep in mind I only called Hall a prototypical FB. Was not in anyway showering praise on him as a runner.No on Pearman, he was cut with Gado.
A few weeks back, he punched a Titan in practice and several veterans had little prob with it. Sorta like the guy had it coming, it happens after weeks of battling each other etc. He also supposedly took this guy's "treatment" for a long while before responding with a punch-longer than many would have expected from Blount. The ones playing with him did not see a problem. In the presser video, Fisher didn't even seem to think much of it.

In dynasty always play the waiting game if you can......Last year I drafted late in our rookie draft another big 6 foot 1 230 pound RB in Arian Foster.... He was an undrafted and obviously face an up hill battle as he was signed by the Texans. He was then put on their practice roster where I thought he would rot and never ever be heard from again. I released him from my roster making room for some IDP help.
