Well, the NFL came after me for selling t-shirts but I guess Barstool has a pass or Pres refuses to comply with them (in which case bravo!).
Check out their Blount tees and this GIF that I can’t stop laughing at…
Blount’s latest transformation has been from special teamer and change-of-pace back to game breaker: He followed up his 189-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 17 with a 166-yard, four-touchdown day against the Colts on Saturday. Blount is a perfect symbol not only of the Patriots’ approach — a sterling example of the kind of afterthought Bill Belichick acquired on the cheap that nevertheless suddenly plays a prime role in playoff crunch time — but of New England’s willingness to evolve. Previously built around the Randy Moss/Wes Welker spread-to-pass attack of the late 2000s and later the multiple–tight end offense of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, this is now a physical, power running team that mixes in play-action.

The Patriots produce an inside running lane for Blount here because of their ability to turn out Mathis and wash the second level linebackers past the hole. That gives Blount an opportunity to make one cut and get vertically up the field. Because this run breaks, LaRon Landry has to make an open-field tackle. However, look at the angle that the Colts safety takes to the ball-carrier. Instead of playing with some depth on his entry versus the run and creating a downhill angle, Landry gets caught too close to the line of scrimmage. That forces him to take a flat angle to the ball.
I feel like we had to man up and play tough football with the conditions, and whoever played better football physically is going to be the winner,” Blount said. “It was cold and rainy and hard for guys to keep their footing. We just went into the game with the mindset to run the football and play physical football, and that’s what we did.
