LeGarrette Blount Keeping Buccaneers RB Competition Close

Stephen F. Holder of the Tampa Bay Times believes that Buccaneers running back LeGarrette Blount โ€œmore than evened the scoreโ€ with fellow tailback Doug Martin on Friday against the Miami Dolphins.

Blount had 7 carries for 30 yards and a touchdown, while rookie Martin had the same amount of carries for 21 yards and a score.

Martin was one of Tampa Bayโ€™s two first-round draft picks, going thirty-first overall. The popular opinion is that Martin will get the starting job in the backfield, but Blount proved his worth on Friday.
