I also watched Chris O at practice. He is a solid practice squad guy. He is not as quick through the hole when he was against the 2s. When he played against the the guys that are now on the street he looked decent. He is not ahead of Slaton right now based on talent and knowledge of the playbook. Slaton is worth a flyer on while Foster is on the shelf.

I'll take your word on practices. But part of playing in the NFL is playing. The hammy is the latest in years without being healthy. But I hope he proves me completely wrong. I'd love to see the old slaton.

Either way, there's no way this guy sees the field, unless Foster is out, Ward goes down, and then Tate goes down. While Slaton may have shown "flashes" in camp, who's he gonna take carries away from? That's my biggest problem with keeping him. Just a plain ole "Why?".
He doesn't seem to serve a purpose to me at all.
