ORIGINAL: joejitsu Is Boone able to pass block? He looks strong as a runner and seems to have good hands, but I have not seen enough of him to know if he can pick up the blitz. On Saturday, it was Mike Boone’s turn. The Cincinnati product gained 91 yards on 13 carries, including a 26-yard burst that turned out to be the Vikings’ longest play of the day. And a week after allowing a sack when he reacted late to a blitz up the middle, Boone appeared to take a step forward in pass protection in the Vikings’ 14-10 loss to the Jaguars. “Mike stepped up on that last drive on the fourth down and blocked the defensive end,” quarterback Kirk Cousins said. “You could hear the pads pop; he displaced the guy and gave Kyle a chance to step up and make the throw. It’s stuff like that too, with a trained eye, you love to see from a young running back.” http://www.startribune.com/as-mike-boone-shines-against-jaguars-vikings-rb-competition-heats-up/491209591/
