Pulling for the new backup RB

Definitely worth the read. Seems like one of those that won't stop working, Theilen, CJ Ham, Metellus type of vibes. Rooting for him to take that 3rd spot.

I think the great ones show patience and let the hole develop before bursting through. Especially zone runners. In fact, I think hitting the holes at full speed before the hole is there has to be coached out of some young backs. I haven't seen enough of Scott to know how good or bad he is at any of this, but I was very impressed with his vision.

Barry Sanders.
Scott had good vision but the line gave him some good holes to run through as well. The problem is, appears Scott can't pick up the blitz any better than Chandler yet. At least he had a whiff in last weeks game.

well is anybody had troubles picking up the blitz for Cousins, its not getting any easier, SD moved around a little, but JJ looks like he is playing hide and seek back there, when he starts moving around its going to be really hard on the blockers since the D can watch the QB, the OL just has to try and react to what they cant anticipate.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

If Scott can block, he may be the replacement for Ham eventually.
