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.

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.

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.

The birth of a stud!

Running backs not playing is usually related to learning oass protections.. it so I've been told

How much does Coleman being gone do you think is
Attributed to the fact we can’t seem to get the running game going? Yes, we don’t have Ingram but I figured Williams and MG would at least contribute.

A lot. Peyton talked about this in the presser today. WR blocking is critical. They have to learn the defensive packages each week and know where the force will be coming from. It's a weakness right now outside of MT. CM can barely stand up so he won't be blocking anyone with authority like Coleman.

I don't even remember who the hell Rick Leonard is
