What was wrong with Watson?

Why did the useless Croissant get signed over him? I thought Watson showed promise.

I don't get it. This team seems to value @ss kissing over production and skill.

 

This to me was always a head scratcher.

 

I never will understand what Tomlin sees in Toussant. It certainly can't be ST's.

 

Squeak

 

What was right with Watson?

 

Did you have another fart slip out? That happens when you get older.

 

Very good short yardage runner, powerful, hard to get to the ground.

 

I was just joking around, I liked what I saw from him in the preseason. I wished they gave him more of a opportunity, he got cut soon.

 

So we agree

 

Yeah, Fitz is the better blocker for Ben out of all of them outside of Bell. Kind of what you need if you're not trying to get Ben killed.

 

I think Toussaint is a hard working, intelligent player, who has proven himself to be versatile in more aspects than just running the ball. Watson is a more powerful back and a better runner, but offers little else. I am not a fan of Toussaint, but I understand the the thought process.

 

He had several good posts in a row, and I thought he was off the rumble strips, then another brain dead post. Hmm..

 

1.6 yard average. Yep, that kind of short yardage runner was going to help us.

Sure, this was all about @ss kissing.

Brilliant.

 

Look I think we hashed this out fairly well during the season when it happened. Plain fact was Watson played himself onto the team. He put together a camp/preaseason tape that made it tough to not include him on the 53. Fitz didn't really shine in camp, and everyone points to his blocking and the hundred yard game three years ago.

If this really came down to blocking ability on blitz pickup that is pretty sad. One because you gave up on a guy with a lot of heart and potential and two because maybe it's just me but I can't think of a game where I saw Fitz in as the running back and saving Ben''s bacon.

If it did happen someone point me to the gametape

 

Again not interested in rehashing this. Watson is gone, Fitz is still David Johnson 2.0 and a new season begins in 96 days.

 

He was cut by them prior to re- signing too and nobody else signed him. 22 yards on 14 carries. Whoa, stop the presses. .

 

Croissant is just another Redman or Batch: a crap back they fell in love with for no apparent reason and no upside to speak of.

 

And what did Watson do that we will miss? FT had an amazing game as a rookie in the playoffs until the fumble. That's what they fell in love with. He is also a decent STs player. You act like he made the team already. Is this really you PWP or the alter PWP? You get obsessed with a player you hate and never quit about them. Edmund's could pick off a pass, run it back for a TD to win the SB and you would pick at his inability to instinctively do the proper EZ celebration with toussaint.

 

You mean like Deuce Staley our 3 year 12 mill cheer leader....

 

That is an absurd, ridiculous trend analysis on too few of occurrences. You're summarizing his value on 14 carries, with most being short yardage carries, where the goal is to move the chains, first and foremost? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOkkkeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy dokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy.

 

OK against workers of Walmart. Very impressive. Why when the giants cut him the first time didn't all of the. NFL jump at the chance for him? Toussaint did it against a playoff teams defense. Big difference. It doesn't matter neither will be doing it much this season with any team. If they do I will be very surprised.

 

Yea, he was so great he costed us the F-in game.
