Along with the obvious of Ciron Black and Brandon Lafell.
Charles Scott probably won't last too long in the NFL unless he switches to a fb/rb hybrid type.

Sit back and watch kids. If you've never caught a Chad melt down, get your popcorn ready.

He lacks NFL speed for and does have issues with his weight.

I hope i'm wrong, if he was a tad bit faster... he has the tools to be a good back but he speed is well below sub par and will be a huge deciding factor for him especially come draft time.

I hope your wrong too b/c I think Scott has everything the NFL is looking for. He may not be the fastest back but he reminds me a lot of Turner of the Falcons dontcha think?
Posted on 5/12/09 at 1:55 pm to Mouth
I see where you going with it but turner is a lot faster than scott. I'd be surprised if Scott runs a 4.6. Scott is more like a 4.7-4.8 truly but i could be wrong.

I see as more of a S Alexander in his prime except with even more power.

Do you not agree that, with the current RB by committee NFL, he will fit a glaring need for some teams as a power back? Thus speed wouldn't be an issue.

I think he's got good game speed. He made quite a few break away TD's last year that showed me he's got the ability to turn it up field. He would fit perfectly in the saints offense IMO.

And for all the assholes bashing people the past couple of years for wanting to draft LSU guys, wouldn't you like having Hester and Steltz right about now. And the fact that we didn't make a move to get RJF in the 7th when he moved up for a punter is just disgusting.
Errr... no neither has done anything in the pro's so why would we want to have them?
I personally would feel a lot better about our backfield if we had a guy like Hester in the mix, at least for short yardage situations.
And Steltz would have at least been another body pushing for playing time at safety.
Not having a short yardage back and terrible safeties kept us out of the playoffs last year.
Would have been nice to have either of those guys in the mix IMO. I didn't mention Laron and those other guys you mentioned because they are obvious.
Hester and Steltz had the chance to be solid pros in the middle rounds at positions of need for the Saints, that's why a lot of fans wanted to draft them last year, and they were bashed for being dumb LSU homers.
The fact of the matter is, both of those guys would have been solid picks for us, at positions that are STILL needs for us this year.

come on man Hester ran a 4.6. think about how many long runs charles scott broke just last year compared to hester's entire career in college. I think Scott is a little faster then some want to give credit for, he just runs out of gas at the end of the really long runs.
And to the OP, Kindle is probably a 3-4 OLB in the NFL, so the saints likely wouldn't draft him even if they had the chance.

OK he had one 87 yard run, charles scott consistenly broke alot more explosive runs than hester ever did last year.

Charles Scott will be fine in the NFL. Same type of player as Stephen Davis, who was considered a tweener coming out of college and played mostly RB. Speed really isn't that important at RB.

I can't believe that this thread is turning into another Jacob Hester thread, but it is. Hester's speed was actually pretty good. His quickness, however, was poor. There is no doubt in my mind that Hester would win a 40 against Scott, but his inability to cut and avoid defenders is what kept Hester from being an elite RB. Scott is a better runner now than Hester was his senior year, but Hester proved his worth again and again and was a deserving starter for us.

Hester is white... but when you draft him in 07/08 Madden he turns black... I think its a race thing.
