Bud of mine followed him on the twatters...can't say I'm sorry to see him go based on what I've seen him tweet lately.

Had stats in only 6 of 12 games.  Did not appear in the stat sheet vs LSU, Ole Miss, Ta&M, Vandy, UGA, or Bammer.  3 of those where he did have stats were Alabama A&M, La. Monroe, and New Mexico St.  33 total carries and 153yds on the season, no catches.  He lost 2 fumbles in his first 22 carries.   With what we have coming back, and coming in, I doubt he'll be missed much.

Depth is always a good thing (we never seem to have any)...other than that meh.

Like Prowley said I doubt he will be the last.

I think he was a victim of the system change last year. To which we're returning to the system he signed up for and is better suited for. That and inept coaching last year.

Makes no sense for him to leave now.

This.

The fumble % for the team just went down by a factor of 7.

No love lost.  Like most of you, I was not thrilled about Gus being hired.  That being said, it looks as if things are starting to look up.  Get rid of the turds in the punch bowl, so the rest of us can enjoy the party.

That's because where there is one chink there are 1.3 billion.

I'm not sorry to see Blakely go. His main contributions last year were negative ones. Hit the road, Jack.

Agree. Had he began in a disciplined system things might have been different. Hard to know who should have been on the field last season.

I can think of one who definitely deserved to be on the field last year.
