Practice Squad eligibility and who the Skins added

[Lotus]

If Lache is not our guy then I look forward to the day when we do add a scat back. Having speed in the backfield really adds dynamism to an offense.

I agree that I have wanted that type of back, and every time Sproles came available I was first in line saying get him!

That said, the Skins have a lot of speed on this offense, so it isn't like that is the missing piece in this offense, and pass pro especially chipping to help the weaker right side is going to be a far more valuable skill toward keeping this offense moving.

I think Thompson could be that guy. Straight line he is just as fast as Seastrunk and is a better pass catcher. I think that's why we offered him the PS spot instead. Thompson also has some albeit little pro experience returning kicks. I think by seasons end we will see some Thompson wrinkle his way in to the offense.

Thompson's straight line speed is a little slower than Seastrunk. Seastrunk has that next level that's hard to find. That's the only reason Seastrunk was drafted, speed, nothing else. And as of right now that's all he has and that's why he's not here.

Thompson has proven he can play RB in the NFL, only problem is he has to stay healthy, which he hasn't been able to do. It just goes to show how consistent his game is when he is out there and how bad the coaches want him out there. Hopefully he can prove his ability to stay healthy and he can have an impact this year.

Really? When did this happen? I must have missed it.

Just saying he has shown more than Seastrunk

Chaz Sutton, not Lache Seastrunk, takes the last PS spot.

I stand by my same speed take. Seastrunk is fast but he did run a 4.5 40, but again to me speed wise they are at worst equal
