Saints Sophomore Spotlight: Daniel Lasco

QBREES9 · 06-02-2017, 10:23 PM

The New Orleans Saints running backs are primed to be one of the strengths of the 2017 squad. Mark Ingram is coming off of his first career 1,000-yard rushing season, and with the improvement of his receiving skills has established himself as one of the better every down backs in the league. The Saints have a throwback player in the tough-as-nails fullback John Kuhn, who will also provide a short yardage reliability and underrated pass catching skills. The Saints then added future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson, who could provide New Orleans perhaps the best 1-2 punch in the league at running back. In the draft, the Saints drafted Tennessee's explosive all-purpose threat Alvin Kamara

Lasco has a fight to make this team.

Rugby Saint II · 06-04-2017, 02:56 PM

He's a one cut runner who turns North and runs hard. I have very high expectations for him. He's a damn fine gunner too.

Murphy is probably gone after he got in Payton's dog house because of Fumbles and just flat out bad decision making. Also, hopefully Cadet can find a job somewhere else. Payton likes him because he values reliability but he's average at best. I just don't see us keeping six running backs because we all know that Kuhn is a lock to make the roster. That depends I guess on how many receivers we keep. We have a couple of backs who can run out of the slot.

Agree, I think Lasco makes it and Murphy heads to the PS. Obviously its way to early to tell right now.

When healthy, he is a bull dawg on special teams.

Um....that link isn't working. There's nothing on that link that has anything to do with Lasco! Cmon QBrees! What kind of dog and pony show is this?!!! Why has no one else addressed this in their comments?! Why am I yell texting?! Who am I?!

K Major · 07-13-2017, 10:22 AM

Here is my pre season RB list going into camp:

MI
AP
Kuhn
Kamara * (rookie)
Lasco

Bubble status : Murphy &/or Cadet.

Fast forward for a second. Lasco and Kamara could be the "starting RB's" for the Saints 2019 Superbowl winning team

I mentioned this in a previous thread, and I agree - those two could be the second coming of Deuce & Reggie down the line.

Relax. Don't be alarmed. You might be suffering from FDS or Football Deficiency Syndrome. It's not fatal but 5 consecutive months without football and reading dozens of WillSmith81 posts have slightly altered your brain chemistry.

I'm not a doctor but I do play one on the internet. For your specific case, I would recommend getting plenty of rest, at least 20 hours/day and watching Super Bowl 44 at least once before going to bed.
