Scott was the most tenured and experienced RB on the roster.  
Curtis in VA : 10/1/2013 4:28 pm : link
I think its pretty clear that the coaching staff heavily favors experience over talent. They've been pretty consistent with this philosophy.

I think its asinine but what do I know.
Jacobs had a nice carry in that game  
Joey from GlenCove : 10/1/2013 4:29 pm : link
I thought he was going to get more touches.
Halleluja!!  
Bleedin Blue : 10/1/2013 4:29 pm : link



so long butter fingers!!!
Great move  
nicky43 : 10/1/2013 4:29 pm : link
I like it. I was unsure why they kept Scott anyway. And any addition to the O-Line can't hurt.

I wonder if there isn't some truth to the idea  
Mike from Ohio : 10/1/2013 4:30 pm : link
that this was a nudge from Reese to TC. Seems unusual to release him when he has been getting so many snaps (which I completely disagree with). If so, I hope that doesn't mean a greater number of snaps for BJ.

And while I don't think this should happen, I have to say it...more touches for Cox?
I bet Scott is a better

track sprinter than he is a footballer.

Because he is terrible at football.
Curtis, were you referring to the LB  
andrew_nyg : 10/1/2013 4:36 pm : link
Dan Conner?

or Connor the FB?

Because I thought Dan Conner was placed on IR
That's one way to remedy the personnel mismanagement at RB  
Kyle : 10/1/2013 4:38 pm : link
Just get rid of the guy the coaches were inexplicably overusing so the temptation is gone.
Does this mean Baas to IR?  
ij_reilly : 10/1/2013 4:40 pm : link
Baas has a neck injury, a center is signed. Cordle is not released, Scott is. Sounds like a possibility of Baas to IR.
LOL

At the least, he's good on kickoffs and that matters a little.

Snee is going to IR
This does not sound like a Snee replacement  
ij_reilly : 10/1/2013 4:48 pm : link
Although it certainly seems that Snee is heading to IR.

I think more moves are coming, soon. This does not seem like a one-off move.
Regarding another back - - - -  
Phil in Joisey : 10/1/2013 4:51 pm : link
Isn't Andre Brown close to returning?
Scott gone?  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2013 4:52 pm : link
About damn time, had Brown not broken his leg the turk would've had him at the end of the preseason. Good riddance.
How is this not about Snee?  
Greg from LI : 10/1/2013 4:52 pm : link
An interior lineman is most likely headed to IR and they immediately pick up an interior lineman. Signing a center means Boothe stays at G no matter what happens with Baas.

This guy can't be any worse than Cordle, can he?
Waive  
AcidTest : 10/1/2013 4:53 pm : link
Scott? Fine, no problem. But Reynolds? Why not just promote Goodin? At least he knows the offense. Reynolds is a guy you just brought in off the street. He wasn't even on anyone's PS. Was he even in anyone's camp this year? When was the last time he played any football?
Phil in Joisey  
BillT : 10/1/2013 5:04 pm : link
Brown can't return until week 9.
if you notice last week..  
Rsspro : 10/1/2013 5:06 pm : link
toward the latter part of the game..

Wilson seemed to take over Scott's typical role..

perhaps could have been a sign
Reynolds  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/1/2013 5:07 pm : link
has experience at center, guard, and tackle.

LG in NYC : 4:15 pm : link
2 big misses. He has no equity with the team. Could make nice statement about accountability to everyone else."


This is not exactly a big shake up. I would have at the least cut Brown. Maybe that's coming. Something needs to wake up this team.


Maybe Coughlin  
mikeygiants : 10/1/2013 5:14 pm : link
has come around in his latter years and decided that he likes Cox.
Anyone think that this is Jerry Reese

Blue Hurricaine has got it!  
HomerJones45 : 10/1/2013 5:28 pm : link
a Machiavellian move on Reese's part to force the doddering coach and OC to give up on Scott.

You did it; you smoked him out. No one can get anything past you.
Marty those two missed kicks were huge  
BlueHurricane : 10/1/2013 5:29 pm : link
For this teams fragile psyche.
the team deflates after Josh Brown's missed field goals  
SHO'NUFF : 10/1/2013 5:30 pm : link
2 straight games this has happened...strange, very strange.
Huge misses is correct  
Jimmy Googs : 10/1/2013 5:32 pm : link
I think both FGs were to tie or give us the lead going into halftime. And games in which we were getting the second half kickoff too.

We don't have a lot going for us right now so a little Momentum and Confidence could go a long way.
Would love for some of these football discussions to take place  
BlueHurricane : 10/1/2013 5:33 pm : link
At a bar somewhere instead of behind the keyboard. I usually type on this board as if the people I am interacting with are standing right in front of me. Wish others would do the same.

You don't think it is possible that Jerry Reese got fed up as we all have with seeing Scott take carries form his first round pick? That is that far fetched???
Good move.....  
Dry Lightning : 10/1/2013 5:35 pm : link
Scott showed something unforgiveable in a third year player. Fear. He admitted he "choked" in the first game, and I thought he played scared after that. That can happen to a rookie, not to a vet. He had to go.
As  
AcidTest : 10/1/2013 5:37 pm : link
bad as Cordle is, at least he knows the system. Maybe Baas is going on IR, and they don't trust Goodin.
I don't think BH is onto anything definite there  
jcn56 : 10/1/2013 5:37 pm : link
but the fact remains that we just cut a young RB who was taking away reps from a 1st round draft pick of a couple of years ago. It does raise questions about the strategic direction of the running game.
I think  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/1/2013 5:39 pm : link
this has more to do with Snee.

Again, Reynolds has experience at guard.
I agree  
Sneakers O'toole : 10/1/2013 5:41 pm : link
this is about the line, it's not about Scott other than he was one of the more vulnerable players on the roster.
Maybe Reese cut Scott to force Coughlin and/or Gilbride  
SB : 10/1/2013 5:44 pm : link
...to play Wilson more. Recall that Reese told Coughlin that he needed to play Bradshaw more towards the end of 2007.
Here's  
AcidTest : 10/1/2013 5:46 pm : link
what happens:

(1) Reynolds is signed.
(2) Snee goes on IR.
(3) Coughlin benches Brewer in favor of Reynolds.
(4) Coughlin plays Diehl at LG and Boothe at center.

BBI EXPLODES!!!

Coaches and Reese made a clear mistake with Scott making this roster. I was fairly surprised Torain didn't get kept before Scott anyway.


I was very surprised when Scott made the roster.

BBI folks should take a bow because we are definitely getting better at roster moves!!!!!!
I think BBI may be onto something  
ZogZerg : 10/1/2013 6:03 pm : link
The coaches have lost their minds and Reese is trying to save them from themselves by dumping Scott.

KeoweeFan : 10/1/2013 6:20 pm : link
I would think that the team gave Scott a chance to put up or shut up. You normally don't do that in such a critical regular season game, but maybe the coaches were divided on Scott's value and this was TC's way to break the tie.
I got my wish.Too bad they waited for him to play like shit 1moretime

cheeseburger : 9/28/2013 4:47 pm : link
Our RB's can't even help, If I see number 33 back there on third down again i'm smashing my tv. guy can't block and he doesn't follow blockers. we suck this year. just leave wilson out there. and give jacobs the ball when we need a two yard loss or if we don't want to score on the goaline on purpose, ie bradshaw in the Super bowl
No issue with this...  
rptl530 : 10/1/2013 6:30 pm : link
it seems Snee is going to IR and Baas probably isn't far behind.

Let's get some different guys in here and see what they have. For now, let's go Beatty, Brewer, Boothe, Mosley & Pugh.

Backups....Reynolds, Diehl & Cordle.
