Some of you may not remember Joe Morris of the G'nats in the 80s, but Scott is more of a short power back in that comparison... For later generations, while Scott isn't the talent level of Barry Sanders, but he's that style running back, low center gravity, powerful... If Ingram and his agents come out of the gate asking for too much money next season, Scott can step in and get 1300 RuYds... LOL, neaux... But, let me know when you come in for a game and I'll show you the watering holes to get that way... '76, it took Payton six seasons to finally get 1000+RuYds out of Ingram in a Season; he's finally tailored to our offense, but we shouldn't overpay... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Not sure if you read that link Guido or Oak posted earlier this off season, but the failure rate of draft picks is way too high to risk trading a star player for a couple of draft picks. |

I don't pretend to know the right answer.`But if the Saints determine that they cannot afford to pony up, then isn't it at least sensible to think about what you can get while you can? SFIAH |

Re: Boston Scott Made The Team
He has the potential to be better than Sproles in terms of production but agree, he's a different player. He was being used as a 3 down style back at times. Sproles really could never pull that off. Sproles was great at knowing when to go down. Boston Scott is not that guy. He will duke it out no problem.
I know it's unlikely the trade happens but if someone offers a 2nd or 3rd we would be fools not to consider it if the run game is clicking. |

Re: Boston Scott Made The Team
It's also unlikely he even becomes a starter in the NFL. But hey, let's hope for the best!
Championship! |
