I’m only going to tell you guys 15 or 16 more times. Buy Boston Scott.
Not sure what the defense was doing.
It’s early still. I’ll agree on Vereen at the least though. Guy does not belong on an NFL roster anymore.Kinda disappointed to see him only get one carry after Ingram, Kamara, Vereen, West, and Jonathan Williams.
They may just see him as a kick returner for now.
West was just cut. Looks like he is in decent position to make the roster. I think he’s a good stash. If Williams falters or Kamara gets hurt he could have a good role this year. Saints RB has been a boon for many years now.Anything to see here? He was just cut in my deep dynasty for Chris Warren.
I just made this same move. Upside wise, it makes more sense to roster WarrenAnything to see here? He was just cut in my deep dynasty for Chris Warren.
More likely Trey Edmunds' time. Scott is not taking Ingram's role.Jonathan Williams rumored to be cut. Boston Scott time.
Ya, he’s taking Kamara’s role. Kamara = 215lbs not some tiny back as is just generally assumed.More likely Trey Edmunds' time. Scott is not taking Ingram's role.
Good point. Hard to guarantee any one of the Saints' RBs get to, say, 15 carries in any one game during Ingram's suspension, though.Ya, he’s taking Kamara’s role. Kamara = 215lbs not some tiny back as is just generally assumed.More likely Trey Edmunds' time. Scott is not taking Ingram's role.
Edmunds knows the playbook. If Sean Payton intends to get Edmunds 8-12 carries next Sunday, they might have started giving him some 1st-team reps right after the third pre-season game, giving him two full weeks to get ready.I actually do/did like Edmunds walking into the preseason. Then they listed him as a FB and didn’t give him a touch all preseason.
Gillislee just signed. He does know the Saints terminology (same coaching tree as Sean Payton).JFS171 said:Gillislee heading to NO, but I’d be surprised if he took an active roster spot early on after no training camp. I would imagine he’s the contingency plan if Williams doesn’t clear waivers and join the practice squad.
Saints rookie RB Boston Scott will open the season returning kicks.
It's possible Scott also finds himself in the mix to return punts. Scott has proven athleticism as he showed when he recorded a 4.4-flat forty and 38 ½-inch vertical at Louisiana Tech’s Pro Day. Already having professional-level pass-catching chops, Scott is expected to receive a few additional touches on third downs behind Mike Gillislee.

Boston Scott was waive[d], per source. Team wants him on the practice squad if he clears.

Sean Payton: “We don’t want Kamara to be overused the first four weeks”Speculation, with a little tongue-in-cheek:
I think Sean Payton likes being mysterious and hard to figure out. He's pretty dang sure HE knows way, way more than any collection of fans. Probably trying to float Boston Scott onto the practice squad ... let's see what happens.
The Steelers already picked up the guy who was the "Ingram replacement" as recently as this past Saturday (Trey Edmunds). Jonathan Williams did clear waivers and make it onto the Saints' practice squad.
As if the Pats needed anymore RB's. I think they have enough. But I get it, anytime a skill position prospect is waived everybody clamors for New England to pick them up.Bill Belichick to the white courtesy phone

Was he though?
Well ... 13 months ago, Mike Gillislee was considered a legit NFL starting RB and a nice get for the Patriots. Maybe he still is and it was just the perception that changed.
I get that, but the reality is New England, like New Orleans, has had success with undersized backs. Like Sproles (and Danny Woodhead), Dion Lewis doesn't fit the mold of an NFL RB. We are seeing a trend, with players like Tarik Cohen (and perhaps Phillip Lindsay) being used as offensive weapons who can have a role, and Scott is considerably more powerful than those two. I am still clinging to some hope that Scott will develop as a RB, but if he lands on the wrong team, I fear he will be pigeonholed as a return man and nothing more.As if the Pats needed anymore RB's.
