Hopefully he can help deliver a loss to the Rams next Sunday!

Crap... so much for stashing him.

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

There's no stashing on the practice squad. Essentially all practice squad players are paid free agents that get a check and an opportunity to practice with a particular team. Any team can sign any player off any practice squad at any time provided the player is signed to the 53 man squad. That's why when they are cut, PS players have to go through waivers before being signed to a practice squad.

I'm sure every team has someone in their pro personnel department who's primary job is to have a list of practice squad players around the league who are ready to play for each position. So I find it completely unsurprising that the Eagles knew which rock to look under when yet another RB went down.

Wish we could have emoticons like on that social media platform, only I'd have a thumbs down and a WTF? emoticon as well...

Well, I guess this will have to do...

For whatever reason he could not get on the field. We brought in retread after retread in front of him at both back and returner, so maybe the guy just hasn't got it

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

He had to have burned some bridge. He looked solid in PS then vanished. Wasted a draft pick is what we did. We gave them a free draft pick and got nothing. He's going to do well once he gets his shot. How Marcus Murphy got on the field and Scott got nothing is nonsense.

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

If he had "burned some bridge" or pissed someone off he would never had been on the practice squad to begin with. As I mentioned once before, my niece went to Tech with him and the kid is the type of person that couldn't piss anyone off if he tried. More likely he wasn't as effective in pass blocking and remained a work in progress not worthy of the 53 man roster.

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

The guy can play in the NFL. Would have loved to see him returning kicks for the Saints. He certainly couldn't do any worse.

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

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.

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

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?

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

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

Iggles fans think they have a new Sproles.

thumbs up Boston.
You couldn't beat out Dwayne Washington and his 3 ypc, but best of luck

Re: Eagles Signing RB Boston Scott off Saints Practice Squad
 

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.
