Titans Sign FB Khari Blasingame Off Vikings’ Practice Squad
figured that was coming, kind of surprised it took this long. that kid impressed in preseason enough to have me thinking he was going to get the job over Ham. Go for him, he earned the opportunity.
Yea, I liked him too, but Ham is playing very well...
Watch Ham go down now...really liked the kid's upside...
On another note, any word on who filled the Roster spot for the RC Davis? I would assume Doctson, but have heard nothing. Wonder if the Vikings will kick the tires on the TB Db they cut yesterday?
Yeah, we may come to regret this one. But you can't scout CFA this well without someone trying to get a piece of it. Worried about Davion Davis, too.

No one in the NFL has asked me to help construct a roster, but for a team that utilizes a FB as much as we do, Blasingame deserved a roster spot more than an injured S.
Blasingame played ball at Vanderbilt, which is in Nashville, they probably had their eye on him for a while.

BUT....I'll just point this out....
32 teams have 2 safeties. Only about 14 teams have even 1 FB.
Sloter? lol
He's a FB who played well in preseason. Sat on the practice squad all this time. I think we'll be ok. If Minnesota had 2 FBs on their active roster, somebody needed to be slapped. Can anyone name another FB in the NFL? Yeah, that's what I thought. If that FB gets injured, then you use one of your TEs in that blocking role. OR you sign him from your practice squad, which I'm sure Minnesota would have done if Hammer went down. They aren't hard to find in the FA market, either.
Not saying I don't like the kid's potential, just saying this is really a non-issue.

If a starting S goes out, we have backups. If our FB goes out, about 40% of our offense is impacted. Then we have to pick up a street FA to learn our O.

I won't argue that Hammer is a staple more than most FBs. He gets a shitload of snaps. Good point here, brofus.
I mean you cant cut a fullback with the last name like Ham.
