He has been clocked quick, close to if not matching or exceeding his previous times since the injury, and the blocking will come, very few college backs are terribly good blockers. Damn right break away speed isn't everything, but when he gets to the second level, something exceedingly easy to do with a misdirection running style in a two back, split shotgun set, he can juke just about anyone and has enough strength to kindly escort d-backs to the prone position. I'm just imagining the runs that Henry had that gained 10 to 12 yards resulting in a house call with the ball in McGahee's hands.
To address Bledsoe's foot speed, I'm thinking a spread, three step, quick throw offense where he gets the ball out of his hands quick, the last place you want the ball for extended periods of time is Bledsoe's hands, get rid of the damned ball. He won't get anymore open. That and with the two backs, play action gives him a ton of time where he can show off the cannon and throw post routes 40 yards on a line. Well, folks, I'm off to NC state, wish me luck, or at least a return trip.
