i have not read most of this topic, but what i have read is inaccurate. blue was used as a situational back. by the goaline to give room for punts and move the ball away from danger, in the redzone, and on 3rd and short situations. he did a good job. he converted a 3rd and 4 on a 6 yard carry, a 3rd and 3 on a 5 yard carry, and a 6 yard td run. he is the only rb to score in the redzone. the only other redzone td was a pass to russ shep.

he was in before ford because of the situations that came up. ford is a feature back and is competing for time with ridley. there are not too many guys who converted 2 third downs for us last night. also he converted in the redzone. a lot of promise for blue and all you stargazers are ticked off. blue was a stud just didn't hear about him when he was a freshman or sophomore in high school. that makes him no better or worse than anyone else.

ford will get his carries and will be as dominant as anyone we have, but blue did his job well and will continue to serve that role.

I saw those runs, and they were pretty much gifts from the OL. I am pretty sure I could have made it through those holes - (although I might not have been able to get up afterwards.)

I'd like to see him break some tackles or run over someone like I know Ford can do before my confusion over the order of selection goes away.

Let's be clear - if Blue is better than Ford, I do NOT begrudge his playing. But that should be pretty evident in the coming games. There needs to be some outstanding play by Blue to erase the expectations a lot of us have from Ford - either that or seeing Ford NOT be able to produce.

Let's play the best players ==== no problem with that.
