From Yahoo Sports:
Despite rumors that he failed his initial conditioning test, Blount was reportedly the best player on the field at Patriots training camp this past weekend. Head coach Bill Belichick has a way with the thick bodied power back. In their 27 games together, Blount has averaged nearly 5.0 YPC and scored a total of 17 touchdowns.
With Ridley and Vereen \removed from the equation, Blount has bell cow written all over him. A beast after contact, the 6-foot, 250-pounder should rack up yardage on early downs, particularly when noting that the team has eliminated two of its weakest run blockers.
Blount's productivity should spike. Once his one-game suspension is out of the way, Blount should boom more frequently than he busts.

Question: Are you buyin' it? Blount is all about Blount. Why invest in him? I don't get it.
