Apparently, he left the sidelines last night before the game was over. It's very possible that the Steelers will cut him loose. If not, you can easily snag him for a 7th rounder.
Pros - exactly what the Cardinals need in a back right now. Short yardage guy, who can pound the rock & wear down a defense. Ellington is wearing down badly & if he's sidelined, we're in deeper trouble than having lost Palmer. Defenses are blitzing gaps against us & hammering away at Ellington. We need a bigger body to make teams pay when they do that. Blount has had very few touches behind Bell, so his body is fresh for the final stretch. He's an attitude runner, so I could see him playing with a chip on his shoulder.
Cons - it's no secret that this guy is a lunatic as he's been on 4 teams in 5 years. Can obviously be a locker room cancer. HE'S DEFINITELY NOT A LONG TERM ANSWER!!
With all the leaders we have on this team, I think we could bring in this guy & motivate him short-term to produce. Let's not forget that one of the biggest strengths of BA is that he knows how to motivate these so called guys that come in with some baggage. You don't want to invest much into Blount, but he could help just until the end of the season. BA was a troubled athlete himself, so he knows how to deal with head cases like Blount. With any other coach, I would say NO EFFING WAY. Thoughts?
