    Use google, many news articles talking about Scott not making it weeks ago. I even wrote in the Holiday thread a while back that Scott was going to be cut.

    Teams don't move a RB to 3rd string FB because he is a good RB. The only surprise is that there was a trade, most just thought he would be cut.

    Looks like Keiland Williams will possibly make it with the Skins.

    Well I guess only time will tell, I still think he is a good RB. But I rarely know what I am talking about.

    Didn't happen. His college career was basically done after the Miss State game in 2008. The NFL has no use for a RB that can only run from the I and can't catch passes. His only hope long-term is to move to FB.

    People on this forum must be watching something I am not. He was going to get cut, end of story. The only surprise is he was traded. He will be lucky to stick with the Cards at RB more then short-term, from what I have heard his spot at RB for the Cards will be short-term and he will be moved to FB.

    He wasn't running over SEC LBs. What you saw was him running over Tulane, Appalacian St., and North Texas. The days of Earl Campbell just rolling over players in the NFL have been over for decades, heck it doesn't even work in the SEC.

    He better learn to block, if not his NFL career will be very short.

    Scott will be moving to FB, they brought him in because their 1st string FB went down. Scott is going to have to learn to block or he will be cut. If he doesn't make the cut he could be signed to the practice squad for the Cards but that wasn't going to happen if he had remained an Eagle.

    Unfortunately most teams don't like a FB that can't catch the ball either... most teams run FB pass routes on the goalline.

    Williams can be a 3rd down back in the NFL on the right team. IMHO

    Don't worry you're not alone. The good thing is at least you don't pretend to know more than everyone else. Those that tend to act/think they are as smart as coaches tend to come off looking like asses sometimes.

    Charles Scott will be a good running back in the league eventually.

    Dude, in these videos, he was running over, past or around Kentucky, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss, Miss. St., Ohio State LBs as well as Tulane's.

    It's right there in the video, bro.

    He got released today. If he clears waivers he will be signed to the practice squad.
