Nick Scott

Is he really going to be the starter at safety? Canales seems to like him. Reminds me of when we had Naruki Hakamura started and we all know how that turned out.

I can see him starting the season as the other safety and then Ransom or Richardson taking over after injury.

Re-watching the game now that the all-22 has been posted and Trevon Moehrig looks reeeaaally good. He's sticking to guys in coverage, laying the hammer against the run, and communicating with the rest of the secondary to get them in position.

Nic Scott sucks. Ultimately though, coaches oftentimes play guys who suck but who knows their system and will reliably fill their role even if they're performing their role poorly. They can point to the tape and say "see, it'll work if we upgrade this position". I just wish more coaches realized that their job is to ultimately help the team win, not provide proof of concept of their systems.

Everyone has to justify their job to keep it.  If you can point at a player instead of you, that helps a bit.

Not saying that is what is happening, but if it is, that would make sense.

This!!!!!!! 

The first and last sentence. X100!!!!... And idunno y but I always got the hint Evero was that type of guy. Probably for how he handled the Jeremy Chinn situation. Guess it would make that DJ Johnson pick finally make sense to me.

David Moore and Nick Scott - two puzzling obsessions by Canales 

[La Pantera]

I wanted his azz cut last season. Straight liability.

[jb2288]

I think he’s listed as the starter because of vet presence but let’s be honest he’s not good. I imagine even if he’s the starter the young guys will get a ton of PT

Yeh, I still remember that game against the Cons when he let them complete that huge pass…

Much better choices out there that could be in his position with much higher upside

Third string QB not that big of a deal

[MHS831]

I think--just a hunch--that the competition is between Ransom and Richardson.  Keep them both hungry and do not hand the job to an UDFA or a 4th rounder.  It is a motivational thing.  I could be wrong.
