Lasco still being on the squad is disturbing

Pretty sure it's strictly for his special teams play. No 4th string back will see any kind of meaningful snaps on offense. In fact, if he gets any carries at all this year outside of perhaps late in a blowout I'll eat my shirt

Has to be because he is not very good at running the ball

No argument there. I think Kamara is the future. Let AP and Ingram play out their contracts, maybe see if Mark is willing to stick around as a backup at that point and let AK loose.

That's your opinion. Thankfully the FO doesn't seem to share that opinion - they wouldn't keep him if he only had ST value in their eyes.

You don't think? Realistically, anyone past 2nd string is there specifically to play special teams, at any position. Sometimes you get lucky and find a guy who is also pretty good at whatever position he's listed at, but these guys make their living on special teams.

I don't get your point, sorry.

Much like Steve Gleason, Chris Reis, Fred McAffee etc...

You obviously have no memory of us running out of RBs in a Seattle playoff game we were unable to run out for the win...

Defense stayed on the field too long, got exposed, and then Beastmode was born and our defense has sucked balls since...

And a NFL franchise in the Northwest has been an NFC contender ever since that utter embarrassment on national tv...

Especially over Victor. We have plenty of ST players now including Banjo. Shouldn't keep this RB over a ST edge. Victor was just flat-out better at the RB position over Lasco. Send Lasco to PS not Victor, darn it.
