We felt like he was a talented guy that we wanted to have on our team," Belichick said.
Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:48:44 -0700 New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley is projected as the starting two-down running back, with RB Brandon Bolden and LeGarrette Blount challenging for the top spot.

If they did tender Blount, he would make $2.879 million in 2013 if he did not sign an extension.

Sat, 09 Feb 2013 10:20:56 -0800 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers likely will not take a running back in the early or middle rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft unless they do not bring restricted free-agent RB LeGarrette Blount back next season.

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:36:20 -0700 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a different approach in their Week 6 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, going with a pass-first approach. "When they're throwing eight (defenders) in the box because they think their corners can cover, we have to make big plays so they can start taking people out the box and we can run the ball," WR Mike Williams said. "That's basically what they did yesterday. They put eight in the box and put pressure on their corners. Then, in the second half, they went back to back to the two-high (safeties) and the running game opened. We like that, too." RBs Doug Martin and LeGarrette Blount combined for 97 yards in the second half.
Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:17:02 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount has been performing well in practice, which could his bid to see more carries on gameday.

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:02:45 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said the running game is not where he wants it to be, and that may result in RB LeGarrette Blount getting more carries, resulting in more of a 1-2 punch with RB Doug Martin.
Thu, 20 Sep 2012 11:05:32 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said that LeGarrette Blount is still No. 2 on the team's depth chart Thursday, Sept. 20.

"I can categorically confirm it has nothing to do with concussions whatsoever. So, there's nothing there," general manager Mark Dominik said. "In order to make sure the information is correct and that we're getting out the right information, there's nothing concussion-related with LeGarrette Blount. However, we're going to do our due diligence on our players to make sure player safety is No. 1, the most important thing."
Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:29:06 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount (leg) left the game in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers with a leg injury and never returned to the game.

"LeGarrette could have gone back in the game," Schiano said. "So, let me make that clear. I don't know if we're all certain on what's ailing LeGarrette. He came out of the game and we thought it was his leg. We're not sure. … I think he's okay."

Thu, 06 Sep 2012 12:37:17 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said that carries between RBs Doug Martin, LeGarrette Blount and Danny Ware will be split based on a "feeling." Fantasy Tip: Not exactly a ringing endorsement for any of the three options. While it is expected that Martin will get the bulk of the carries, monitor the situation early in the season to see exactly how carries will be divided between the three.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 11:00:11 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan said he believes RB LeGarrette Blount will be a good complement to RB Doug Martin. Blount said his running style and size is a complement to Martin.
Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:47:03 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount is expected to spell RB Doug Martin early in games when the rookie needs a breather, and he might possibly work in the fourth quarter as a finisher when the Buccaneers are leading games.
Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:12:07 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said that RB LeGarrette Blount could win back the starting running back job if he outperforms RB Doug Martin. "We don't hand out jobs and sign them over," Schiano said.
Mon, 27 Aug 2012 06:03:05 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano indicated RB Doug Martin has overtaken RB LeGarrette Blount for the team's starting running back job. Martin moved into the starting lineup Friday, Aug. 24, and he won't be replaced any time soon. Schiano has been impressed with Martin's ability to play three downs. "That's why he moved in and started the game; because he has shown me that much," Schiano said. "And I don't think he did anything (Friday) night that would say, 'Oh, that wasn't a good move.' I thought he ran the ball well and did some things well. So right now, he's got to continue on that course. He's learning every day. And he's a very open-minded guy. He wants to learn." Fantasy Tip: With Martin now expected to open the season as the starter, he should be regarded as a solid RB2 or flex option for owners.

Sun, 19 Aug 2012 10:56:38 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said he does not expect RB LeGarrette Blount (groin) to miss a significant amount of time after suffering the injury in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 17.

Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:45:20 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin, as an update to previous reports, is looking the part of a primary running back. Not only is he seeing the large majority of the first-team snaps, he is also staying on the field for third-down/pass-protection snaps. Pass-protection work is an area Martin's competition, LeGarrette Blount, has previously struggled. Martin, a rookie first-round draft choice, has shown a quick burst at the line of scrimmage, is hitting holes decisively and using his speed to make defenders miss once he hits the second layer of a defense.
Fri, 20 Jul 2012 14:08:48 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said neither RB LeGarrette Blount or RB Doug Martin are considered the favorite for the starting running back job. Schiano said the reps at running back will be given out in an appropriate manner.
Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:41:14 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount has a new way of carrying the football in hopes of reducing fumbles. Blount's new ballcarrying technique is most commonly described as "high-and-tight." The ball ends up buried between the forearm, the upper arm and the chest, carried a few degrees off of vertical so that it is against one of the numbers on the player's jersey. Former NFL RB Tiki Barber switched to the technique after a nine-fumble campaign in 2003 and had just nine over the next three seasons combined.
Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:41:02 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount has been practicing with urgency this offseason because he understands he will have to compete for touches with RB Doug Martin.
Thu, 14 Jun 2012 18:19:28 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount has been getting the majority of the carries with the first-team offense during organized team activities and minicamp. RB Doug Martin has received some reps with the starters this offseason.
Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:26:52 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie RB Doug Martin, one of the team's first-round selections, is likely to be the team's feature running back in his first season. Martin is an all-around back with two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt. He also caught 28 passes each of the past two seasons.
Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:20:12 -0700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount is still likely to have some carries for the team now that they've added rookie RB Doug Martin to the mix. Blount could handle short-yardage opportunities.
