Very excited<\/a>,\u201d Blue said, via Tommy Yarrish of the team website. \u201cI\u2019ve waited my time. I\u2019ve stayed patient. I always was told to trust the process, and I knew eventually if I was to stay consistent and work hard that my time would come.<\/p>\n\u201cIt was a part of the plan. I\u2019m just excited that I finally get to go out there and showcase my skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blue, a fifth-round pick, was a healthy scratch for the first four games. He has had his work ethic and his practice habits questioned publicly, and Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer repeatedly has said he needs to see more \u201cconsistency\u201d from Blue.<\/p>\n
Schottenheimer had a conversation with Blue two weeks ago to discuss what Blue had to do to see the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust making sure that I\u2019m finishing the right way and practicing hard,\u201d Blue said. \u201cStaying in the playbook, just making sure that I\u2019m doing the small details right so I can be able to perform at the highest level. How I prepare is being more detailed, just the little small things. Whether that\u2019s a play, making sure that I\u2019m being where I was supposed to be on time, being engaged in meetings and stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blue made a \u201cquestionable decision\u201d in Thursday\u2019s practice, according to Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went out there with some cool new cleats \u2014 Louis Vuitton Nikes,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cYou should go get you a pair, but they give you blisters, and so about halfway through practice I saw him laying there. I was like, \u2018What the hell happened to Blue? \u2018Oh, coach, I\u2019m fine. I got blisters.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Oh, shocker. Look at the cool shoes you got.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s part of what you deal with in young players. And quickly he changed his cleats, and it\u2019s amazing, the blisters weren\u2019t as bad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Miles Sanders out, Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue will make his long-awaited NFL debut on Sunday.
