Big props to Blanton

[LA_vision]

He made the Higbee injury less impactful. He's caught everything thrown his way, that flea flicker screen was fantastic.

"Game wasn't too big for him." --McVay I bet

 

[EasyE]

He was fantastic!

 

[Marc Spector]

he was amazing. Great hands and a good blocker

 

[OntarioRam]

He was outstanding. Good blocker. Good hands. Good teammate. He should be TE2 going forward, and honestly, although it is a small sample size, might well be playing his way to a TE1 gig somewhere (Higbee's role is secure IMO), given how thin the position is league wide.

Blanton filled some big shoes tonight. I loved it.

As my love for Blanton grows, my hatred of Brycen Hopkins grows stronger....

 

[Kupped]

Who had Blanton outperforming Kittle?????

I have not been on the Blanton train at all, while others have been... I thought Hopkins was going to come around.
Nooooooooope! Dead wrong and happy about it. Blanton was fricken huge and I couldn't be happier. That key 3rd down??? Huge balls.

 

[Angry Ram]

Absolutely. And last week too on the tud!!!

Buck said Blanton was the last TE on the roster, was that accurate?

Active.
Hopkins wasn't active, so they only had two in uniform.

 

[Tano]

Yeah Hopkins was inactive - AGAIN!!

Dude was big time! Looked like he belonged out there for sure.

Blanton was the epitome of "next man up" today. The absolute epitome.

 

[TexasRam]

Dude was awesome. I cringed every time He caught it and started running assuming he would fumble it being so green in real time action. He not only caught everything and didn't fumble but he got nice YAC and did some nice blocking. Really stepped up in a massive game.

He's such a nice dude as well. They had an interview with him after last week and he was so excited about everyone texting him after his TD vs the Bucs. We may need him in the Super Bowl depending on Higbees status.

Great point. I cheered every time he touched the ball. I am definitely a fan of his after todays game.
