Practice Squad eligibility and who the Skins added

Cannot believe the grief over Lache. I mean yeah, he's fast. However, every report said he was raw, couldn't block, and was not a pass catcher. Please folks. He was a 6th round pick for a reason. Not like his speed was a secret before the draft.

I think it was his big play potential and Jamaal Charles cutting ability that had everyone having internet orgasms but I agree with you, while I wanted to see him stick around, as of now we havent lost anything with him not being here. Silas is the better RB.

Agreed, and I am happy that we have Silas. But he is not electric. It would be helpful to have a Sproles-like explosive player in the backfield on offense.

Yes, Lache is raw and incompetent as a blocker. But I think he is a keep-and-develop guy. I hope we get him back.

I agree but at the same time you don't have to have that explosive guy. It's nice but not needed. Helu is fast and we have seen moments of his explosiveness. To be fair how many carries would Seastrunk and Thompson have gotten with 1,300 yard rusher Morris and Helu in front of them?

To whomever said Thompson wasn't impressive, I partially agree, I don't agree that he isn't explosive though.

Sproles had trouble blocking when he entered the NFL, too. He learned and became more complete.

Joe is right that the defense, right now, could key on Lache. But if we snuck him in just one or two plays a game, he might catch defenders napping and hit a home run.

Put this differently: backs tend to burn out quickly, even when on committees. You can't have enough young, fresh legs.

That one screen pass in pre-season sent them over the edge.

There is a difference between fast and explosive. Chris Thompson is fast but not explosive. In fact, Chris Thompson doesn't impress me at all.

Seastrunk is explosive. I know it when I see it and it is rare. I certainly hope we sign him to the PS and try to develop him.
