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.

Re: Practice Squad eligibility and who the Skins added
 

Plenty of guys out there are fast, but Seastrunk clearly needs work in other key areas and that's what's keeping him off a roster. Pass pro, running routes, special teams, etc. All those areas are hard to ignore.

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.

[quote=Chico23231;1079828]Keim on twitter said Skins changed mind on Lache at last second about adding him to practice squad, so it looks like we will move on from him. Nobody claimed him to roster soooo. We still got a spot open, maybe thought the WR from Southern could be added.[/quote]

The Washington Redskins and JoeRedskin are very mean people for dissing my adopted son, Lache.

Not that my world is ending, but I would like to know the gossip of why they wouldn't even offer a PS spot. I mean really? It means they found out something about him that they feel makes it worth not even spending a meaningless PS spot on. He should be the type of person that screams practice squad. Was it attitude or something?

Maybe he's holding out for a roster spot or better situation elsewhere.

Our maybe the fans view of him simply doesn't match up with the coaches who worked with him up close and personal all spring and summer.

Well rumor has it that RGIII was jealous of his explosive speed, and that he was going to have his dad spread vicious rumors about how Lache was going around saying he wanted us playing screen passes. But that's just a rumor.

If Lache returned kicks, we wouldn't be having this discussion about him.

Re: Practice Squad eligibility and who the Skins added
 

Any idea on final practice squad list? Some saying Thomas is on? Huh...and Davis? I am very skeptical of Thomas being on since it was clearly reported early that he was not

Reading some twitter posts saying he had an attitude problem on top of his short comings as a RB. Possible clashes with Gruden and other rookies.

Who knows, may be pure speculation.

Well, it appears I was wrong about the Flash not being denied a chance here. <sigh>

If that is true, no wonder. Can't have a bad attitude, especially as a marginal player.

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.
