More likely he wasn't as effective in pass blocking and remained a work in progress not worthy of the 53 man roster.

Sproles was smaller and was definitely not known for blocking prowess. Don't ever recall it being a problem. Enough film on Scott to know what they were getting. If they wanted a better blocker should have drafted one.

I am of course speculating something else was wrong. Sure he is a nice guy but never really know what goes on in an organization. Amari Cooper is a really nice guy, Gruden said he was their guy. Bunch of dud games with no looks then bam. Goes to another team and has success.

Yes. I was speculating myself. However, I am sure there had to have been a logical reason why he was never moved to the active roster. If he didn't have some promise they would have replaced him themselves before now, wouldn't you think?

I was noticing him the last few games in Sean Payton's pocket on the sideline a few times getting plenty of camera exposure.

I hate to see him go..
He's a shifty little fkr with power for his lack of height.
I was wondering why we never put him on KO/Punt returns?

I hope he goes make a name for himself.
Watching his interviews early on he seemed to be a well spoken young cat and it looked as that he handled himself well.
They may have seen the possible potential of a D.Sproles 2.0 also..damnit

Kind of obvious that the Saints coaches had no "plan" for Scott, otherwise they would have signed him to the active roster. He was a 6th rounder ... there will be others.

I wish Boston well. He'll have opportunities in Philly.
