Too short? Sproles looks up to him.

I bet Steve Tasker was told by many he was too small as well.

Holy cow, what a great comparison!

Parcells had a couple of good ones ... remember Dave Meggett? Small guys but effective in his system.

People with heart play larger than their size......I've often heard "I thought you would be bigger". I'm pushing 5'10" and I play the position built for the smallest man on the field among all these large rugby players.

It's hard to stop someone who cares more than you do!

Some of you won't get this, and I am sad for you...

Old school NFL scout meeting with Boston Scott: Listened to a lot of your games, "for some reason you sounded taller on the radio"...

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

Meggett was a good all around player. Long career. Wish he could have got his life together after football. If Scott is close to Meggett we are in great shape. Meggett also had an very good rookie season.

I predict that Ingram is scared of Boston Scott.

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

Not. Ingram is scared of what all NFL running backs are scared of: age. He's on the last year of his current contract, which is already upside down. The likelyhood of signing another long term high dollar contract at age 29 is unlikely.

Economics will get Ingram out of New Orleans faster than Scott ever could.

Was Austin Powers afraid of this guy? :bng:

So true but Ingram hasn't been over used of have much of an injury history. Not sure what the Saints are thinking there.

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

If anything, I hope we see some of the Tarik Cohen type production from Boston in 2018. Saints didn't draft Scott to be the "bell cow" but more so a special teams threat who can possible lessen the burden on Ingram & AK.

I'm hopeful he's Marcus Murphy without the fumbles. He will also push Lasco.

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

I believe running backs have an expiration date regardless of workload. I just can't see the Saints paying Ingram premium free agent money for a contract that ends when he's 32 years old. So he'll likely hit free agency and get a 1-2 year free agent deal with someone desparate for an effective RB.

The Saints will move on and find someone else to fill the role. Scott may be the guy, or maybe not.

IMO 2018 is likely Mark Ingram's last year in New Orleans.

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

3 minutes of between the tackles/power running football. Let's hope Boston transitions well at the next level.

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

Mark Ingram 5'9'' 216lbs.
Boston Scott 5'7'' 205lbs.
All Ingram has on Scott is 2 inches and 11 lbs.
Scott is much FASTER

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

One very important detail you left out ... pass protection. Scott is unknown in this dept. MI has become is a hellava (is this a word?) pass protector for Brees ...specifically on 3rd down.

Re: Too short? Saints rookie RB Boston Scott shrugs off doubters
 

I guess we'll find out about the pass protection. My guess is that he has a huge motor and will. He was also a weight lifting champion and so I think he'll be at the very least serviceable and give Drew an opportunity to throw. Not overly concerned about it but definitely worth watching.

Very interested in seeing what workload he gets for the first 4 games with Ingram's suspension
