Per the Post:
A veteran of 51 NFL games and a return specialist as well, Blaylock, 27,worked out this weekend without a contract, but reached a verbal agreement with the team last night, according to his agent Michael Huyghue. Terms of the deal were not available.
More likely, the team sees a lot of value in a two-back system and recognizes that injuries happen, as they did last year. Saunders knows Blaylock and has used him productively in this offensive scheme as recently as 2004. He probably will not supplant either Betts or Portis, though he could become the complementary guy in front of Cartwright should either CP or Ladell go down with injury. Redskins now have seven RBs (as well as fullbacks Nehemiah Broughton and Mike Sellers) so this cannot be good news for Kerry Carter, Terry Caulley, and Marcus Mason. All presumably compete with Blaylock for finite roster spots in the backfield.

Rock
I like this signing. I see him replacing Rock as the 3rd RB and return man.As much as I like him, Rock is nothing more than average.

Above average...
in fumbles, which has always been his achille's heel. Coach Gibbs has very little patience for turnovers.Ex: CP does not fumble the ball with frequency. He has 16 fumbles on 1385 fumbles, or about once every 86 carries.
Betts does fumble the ball with frequency. On 566 carries he has 11 fumbles, or once every 51 carries.
Cartwright is a chronic fumbler. On 144 carries he has 5 fumbles, or once every 28 carries.
