Boston Scott booted??

Taysom Hill will be the starting RB.

I get that the Scott move is a little bit of a shocker, but this guy is nothing special. He is a small guy who does not have elite speed. He has potential, but if he gets signed by another team it's not all that big a deal. On the other hand, hope the Saints know what they are doing, because none of this makes much sense.

I thought that as well but he's actually very strong and fairly fast. Better speed, strength and catching than MG.

MG is about 12 lbs heavier, a few inches taller and proven experience of 4.8 yards a carry.

I'm not happy about it but I get it. Go with the known. 4.8 yards a carry, decent body of work to prove it. Good vision and angles. Peyton is doing the right thing as much as I hate to say it.

BS will get picked up IMO. Redskins would be a good fit. Adrian will not last and Mike Thompson is not 100%.
Also Seattle because Penny got fat.

Is Jeff Ireland even working?

Jeff Ireland was fired this morning and probably won’t clear waiver wires.

I just hope that the 1st reporter who gets to ask a question, asks about this one. This decision just boggles the mind. To cut him over TLL??????? Give me a break.

I'm just not a fan of TLL. I had him as a "bubble player" heading into camp and I still feel he didn't make team. The main issue I have with Tommy is he lacks return prowess/field awareness.

If Coach Payton has him returning punts, I really hope it's because he's shown something in practice that didn't show up in preseason.

MG doesn't know the playbook yet

That kinda came out of left field...but oh well. I guess we feel we don't need a Sproles type of back anymore.

Pear must be hurt. We keep signing lineman don't we??
