'08 NC CB/S Robert "R.J." Blanton (Signed LOI to ND)

No, not always. It just seems that way because those are the cases we remember more. Dayne Crist made a huge jump up this season.

Vikings got themselves a gamer. Our secondary had some quality in it last year!

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

I will probably watch every Vikings game I can this year.

 

[Walter White]

Great pick for the my Vikes. He has potential to play corner in their cover-2 scheme or move over next to Harrison Smith and play saftey. Would love to be able to watch them with two ND guys in the secondary next year!

 

[notredomer23]

5 ND players now. Gonna have to root for them, the Cards, and Niners in addition to my Giants

 

[NDPhilly]

Burned badly by Desean Jackson for a TD.

Poor coaching move putting a guy who runs a 4.7 on a guy who runs a 4.3

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I like it. Djax is on m fantasy teams! Yaaaaaaaaa!

Lead the Vikings D in tackles today with 7 solo.

feel bad for Blanton after watching the Packers-Vikes highlights, Lacy was a buzzsaw

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Smith got burned on a badly by Nelson on the packs second TD.

Had a feeling my Bills may took a look at him. Haven't watched much of him as a pro, but he'd be a good depth player being Corey Graham and Aaron Williams, especially since the latter is returning from a neck injury.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Signed with the Bills.

Apparently decided to start a scrum before the game with the Pats.

Sorry don't know how to embed a tweet from my phone.

He has already been in the league 5 years...time flies.

It seems like yesterday he blocked that punt on senior day against a good top 20 Utah team to turn around a struggling 4-5 Irish team. That team went in to win their final 4 games and broke the losing streak to USC in the coliseum 😀

Sorry but think that is pretty cheap sh!t by Blanton. Not sure who 23 is, but should definitely be suspended. He struck what looks like a coach or an official at least twice.

 

[BleedBlue&Gold]

SIGNED BY MY COWBOYS TODAY 1-YEAR DEAL.

 

[Irish#1]

Pretty cool. Blanton stops a carjacking at the daycare he owns.

Carjacking Stopped, Dick Knocked in Dirt

RJ has always seemed to represent ND well so this is no surprise to me. He was one of my favorites during his time here. Glad to see that he's still doing good things.

 

[yankeehater]

Very nice. Looks like he still has some speed!

Blanton and Jamoris Slaughter hold a special place in my football heart. They definitely had some Neanderthal swag.

Ndukewe’s hit on Calvin Johnson holds that place in mine. Right along side Shane Walton and Vontez Duff/Glenn Earl.

Thanks Dale. Blanton is an interesting former player now coach to track. Loved his attitude as a player and always thought he'd be a good one to see come back.

Worth continuing to track.

 

[BobbyMac]

Cradle box checked. Success activated.

Love & Honor

Feels like the Saints have hired their staff heavily from college ranks. Not usual is it?
