RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
Big, strong and fast RB who could possibly supplant the underwhelming Gillislee and Williams. |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
Help me out here ...
I'm looking at JP's most recent practice squad roster. Why do we need two TE's or two RB's on the p/s roster? Boston Scott is there ... are the Saints coaches really plan on playing Dwayne Washington?? So we need a back up RB for our back up RB on the practice squad?? |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
Boston Scott needs to be on the field. Insane we put Marcus Murphy out there and this guy can't even get in the batters box. I normally trust Peyton but something is not right. Maybe an attitude situation. Only thing I can make of it. Nothing in PS said he could not handle returns, catching or running.

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
If Boston Scott was ready he’d be playing. He probably hasn’t grasped the playbook. Sure there’s some areas where we question Payton’s personnel decisions, but I don’t question who he thinks is ready to execute his offense.

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
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.

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from 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.

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
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. |

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. |

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. |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
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. |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
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. |
Re: 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.

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
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.
|
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
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.

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. |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
Quote:
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. :D |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
Didn’t Pierre Thomas sit on the practice squad for a very short time? I know he went undrafted...

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
Running backs not playing is usually related to learning oass protections.. it so I've been told

Btw I spelled Strief wrong in my earlier post . Surprised you didn’t notice and get Defensive since he’s your good friend and all. |

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. |
Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad
I don't even remember who the hell Rick Leonard is :?

Re: RB Dwayne Washington Promoted from Practice Squad

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. |
