RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad

Peyton has never mentioned anything about his blocking or any other problem. He has said several times though Meredith was not ready, poor timing and routes. Not buying the blocking stuff. He knows how to block. Been doing it a long time.

Not that it has anything to do with the subject at hand, but would you care to post some links to where Payton stated that Meredith "was not ready, poor timing and routes." I'll give you "not ready". That's why he wasn't active until week three. But, the "poor timing and routes" stuff has me stumped. I seemed to have missed Payton's ever mentioning that. I would appreciate seeing the links, though. You know how big a fan I am of Meredith's.

Thanks in advance, Beast!

Zach Strief told me when talking about Rick Leonard that he told Leonard "that being on the practice squad is not a bad thing." The same holds true for any of the players on the practice squad. For one reason or another they are not quite ready. It has nothing to do with how attitude or anything like that.

I don’t think it has anything to do with character issues or blocking for Boston Scott. Everybody learns differently and going from a spread offense where the play calls are as simple as “Early 94” to one of the most complex systems in the league with play calls like “Gun Flex Right Stack 394 Dragon Smoke Kill Turbo Sucker Right” is probably a little daunting.

Yes we all know you met Zack Streif and how proud we all are of you.

Ready or not Scott will get his chance if there is an injury. The running game as it is now just isn’t cutting it.
How many players have the Saints brought up from the practice squad that wound up being a difference maker? Just curious because IDK.

Thank you, Dude!

And I agree that it would take something like an injury to bring him up.

As for difference makers from the practice squad ... I can't think of any. I know my very personal friend, Strief, was a practice squad player for most of his rookie year, but even after being brought up he only started one of nine games active.

Didn’t Pierre Thomas sit on the practice squad for a very short time? I know he went undrafted...

Yes, in 2007 for the first three games. He hardly contributed until the last game of the season with 226 total yards on 20 carries for 105 and 12 receptions for another 121 in yardage.

So we need a back up RB for our back up RB on the practice squad??

Why do we need Rick Leonard
