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.

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

There is another one.

I've been a big fan of Chris Thompson ever since we drafted him. He's a baller when on the field. If he can ever stay healthy, he'll make me forget about Seastrunk.

Just saying he has shown more than Seastrunk

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

Who knows, may be pure speculation.

Interesting. Who said that?

Can someone tell me when was the last time a practice squad player made an impact on a season?

James Harrison and Kurt Warner

Warner was the 2nd string behind Trent Green, not a practice squad player. Maybe earlier in his career when he was with Green Bay.

Thompson also hasn't impressed but he got the nod on the practice squad over Seastrunk....plus Thompson can't stay healthy.....Seastrunk should have taken Thompson's place on the practice squad since he had shown more..

I repeat, what exactly has Seastrunk shown??
