The Dolphins signed safety Guss Scott, who appeared in the Patriots' victory over the Texans Dec. 17, to their practice squad yesterday. Scott was released by the Patriots Dec. 19.

I'm curious what impact Saban's machinations have had on the friendship between him and BB. I would guess they're not the same pals they used to be.

He's only on their practice squad. If they wanted him back they could get him.

Yeh, but it's still Saban poaching. I was looking for him to sign a futures contract soon.

Gus friggin' Scott is out of position on too many plays...

Saban may be crazy .... but certainly he cannot be stupid enough
to think he will glean anything from Gus Scott other than the stained turf imprinted uniform of Gus Scott ... (Hey Saban...beware ... noticable wear on the back end from being shoved backwards all the time).

You've gotten your wish, a NEMpost if I ever stepped in one. All-Pro can't be far off now.

I'd guess the same. Doubt they sit in the stands together and scout the draft prospects (like they used to). Divisional rivals make for fewer phone consultations too. Mutual respect will not be severed however...

Scott: Had high hopes for him when he was drafted. It's easy to see why Saban is interested -- BB and he like the same kind of player (especially DBs).

Big freaking deal. Scott = total bust. He is no M. Hill but he is close.

He has done nothing to prove he is more than the 60th player on a roster. The Dolphins can have him and any other player that can't even beat out two punters to make a practice squad.

2006 Summary
- He was cut by the Patriots (twice)
- He was cut by Houston (repeat cut by the Texans)
- He was cut by the Jets

I may be missing other teams that cut him as well. Look at our Safeties under contract next year, is he better than any of them?

Harrison, Wilson, Hawkins, Sanders, Andrews plus Mitchell & Jones

The most remarkable thing about Gus Scott is to me he looks like the rapper 50 cent.

Total bust. They didn't even grab him from the pats practice squad. He didn't make that. Straight from the team to the trash heap.

I remember when they drafted him, I was like, "who"? He was the 20th ranked safety on one list I saw.

Plus he's like 5'10", 195, but seemed smaller when trying to tackle.
