At this point it might feel like piling on, but Alfred Blue is simply not a very good football player. He has a terrible average per rush for his career of just 3.5 yards.

Yet, the Texans staff and fans seem to love him for some reason. So far in 2016, he has done nothing but prove me right in my dislike. Blue has six carries for a measly 15 yards. On Sunday, he got five carries for 11 yards.

That’s an average of 2.2 yards per rush. Sure, the line may not be opening holes, but it wouldn’t matter anyway. Blue shows nothing that makes him worthy of a roster spot and things probably won’t get any better going forward.

He also won’t lose his job though. Despite Jonathan Grimes being far and away superior to Blue, he just keeps getting trotted out there for some reason.
