Yup. I said the exact same thing yesterday. It doesn't matter how talented you are or how well you grasp the playbook if you are not ready to handle pass protection duties.

Apparently Gillislee is more comfortable with the terminology of the West Coast Offense than Boston Scott. It’s not unusual for players coming from a spread offense in college to struggle their rookie year learning a more complex system... We just normally hear more about QB’s struggling with it.

exactly. Scott had what, 15 touches in the last PS game?

Doubt that he's hurt or we'd stash him on IR.

Williams and Gillesie have done nothing. Surprised after Williams' pretty fair preseason.
Gotta be something up with Scott

Clearly Scott is not impressing the coaches.

If they didn't feel he had promise he wouldn't be on the practice squad.

I’ll take his potential on just a few plays over what the rest of these RBs have been doing. I don’t care if that have to tell him which way to run or what route to run. What do they have to lose? We might as well not even have Gillislee or Williams on the game day roster. Maybe Scott isn’t the answer but we know for certain that Gillislee and Williams aren’t either.

Is he really that useful in pass protection? He's like Sproles size. Pretty much worthless. Whoever gets back there is running over him. 200lbs going against 230 plus in most cases is not going to work out.

There is something else going on IMO. He did something that pissed off someone because it's not talent. Normally Peyton pulls RB's that fumble. Not MG. He threw him back out there.
