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.

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

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.

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.
