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.

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.

I can't imagine Boston Scott ever "pissing off" anyone. My niece knows him from La. Tech and says everyone loves him. He's is a very bright and religious young man. He'd be one of the last players to fall on any coaches bad side.

It is extremely common for players to spend their entire first year on a practice squad. Right now the Saints just want a temporary RB on the 53 man roster until Ingram returns. Then that player will simply be cut. It is far too much of a risk exposing a player that could have a future by activating from the practice squad and then trying to waive and retain him to free the spot back up for Ingram.

It perfectly logical.

Oh, and even small backs can chip a pass rusher enough to be effective as long as they are up to speed on reading the threat.

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

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

Yes because religious people never piss people off.
Can’t possibly be his character since he’s religious.

Regardless of his religion, he is a high character, polite and hard-working young man. Much in the same mold as Ben Watson. Why the vitriol over mentioning his religion? It's something he doesn't hide and surely at least a small factor in his overall character.

I do tend to agree with someone here who wears a beanie.
Either or both Williams and Gillislee are totally expendable once Ingram gets back. One will definitely be gone. Scott may be insurance stowed on the practice squad in case if injury. No since bringing him up now and risk having to try and get him back on the PS if need be.
I would like to see him. The other two are worthless.

The Dude · 09-28-2018, 04:38 PM

On the other hand I don’t see why he would necessarily need to go back to the PS. We have 3 backs now, 4 if you count Line. Ditch MG and Williams keep Scott.
Which brings me back to thinking he’s just not ready yet.

Edit
Just saw Williams got the boot to make room.
