Blankenship is intriguing. He and Cobb will likely be vying for one spot on the practice roster.

I had no idea Beau Blankenship and Terrance Cobb were on the roster. Are they UDFAs?

yep.

Great post !!  tx

The problem I have with Todman is that he carries the ball to low. He's a good outside threat if he can get the ball to the outside hand before contact. Storm Johnson will start for the Jaguars along side Gerhart.

---

I ain't no monkey... I'm an ape.

Jags have  a solid group of RB's. I'm thinking Cobb or Blankenship get the final spot on the roster and the other may join the PS.

---

I've noticed that Denard is now listed as a WR on the jaguars.com roster. Typo, roster management, or hint of future plans . . .

I'm honestly a little surprised Blankenship is still around after Friday.  A fumble and tripping over his own feet must have been offset on Saturday by a decent performance.  I wasn't there, I'm curious if anyone who attended saw anything that raised his profile?

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Two white running backs? That's got to be some kind of record?

I still have hopes for Denard.  However sometimes great athletes just dont have a place in the league.  NFL has become so highly specialized that you need a very specific, unique set of skills for each position or role.  Denard's skillset may not be the right combination of talent.

 

Just look at Terrelle Pryor.  Great athlete.  But not accurate enough to be a QB.  Too big to be a RB.  Not quite big enough to be a TE.  Not quite elusive enough to be a WR.  And may not have the hands to be a receiver either.

I Toby and Storm will remind us of Fred Taylor & Maurice Jones-Drew combo... excited for some bad weather !!

---

Cobb is an interesting guy. Good combination of size/speed. A perfect PS player.

---

Shame we can only play one at a time !

---

Well, I watched all the videos, and can't say any of them really impressed me that much..  I hope they prove me wrong.  

 

I suppose I liked Denard Robinson the best, but only for kickoffs and punt returns.

 

Gerhart wasn't anything like what I was expecting.  Seems like more of a fullback.  Reminds me of the dude that played for Tampa a number of years ago, can't think of his name, he was good, but I didn't think much of him either.

 

We'll see..  I'll be pulling for all of them though.

---

The interesting thing to me is that Gerhart has become an afterthought since the draft.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Mike Alstott is that dude, and I thought he was a stud.

 

I think Gerhart is more of a breakaway threat than Alstott.

 

If Gerhart approximates Alstott as a football player, I'll be quite happy.

It's because he's white.

It's easy to forget what a stud Gerhart was in college.   Led the nation in rushing and TDs, and was the Heisman Award runner up.    The nice thing about Gerhart is how little wear he has on the tires for a power back since the entire Vikings offense essentially amounted to handing it to Peterson every play and hoping he could break a long one.
