This....doesn't make any sense. Scott clearly out performed every RB in preseason except Kamara and Ingram. Williams and Gillislee are one dimensional backs...if they are in the game it's going to be a run and most likely inside the tackles.

The thing that made our running game so great last year was that both Ingram and Kamara can catch the ball in space and make plays.

I have a feeling that Brees will be throwing 35+ passes this week....not a good way to start things...

Coaches must be seeing a bit more. How is Boston's pass protection? I think if Payton was confident in his ability, Scott would be here. I think the staff trust veterans more. Let Gillislee run inside the tackles & see how he does.

Personally, I'd rather have vet RB's protecting #9 until Mark Ingram returns from suspension.

Nothing against BS, but +1 right here.

I agree 100%.
Also Scott looked decent but up until Sunday Williams was considered a lock to make the roster by pretty much every report I read. Williams was the clear front runner. Williams effort on that last run hurt him. Hopefully a wake up call.
