Pierre Thomas Fan

blacksaint · 08-24-2007, 02:46 AM

Call me crazy, but I think FA RB Pierre Thomas is looking a lot better than 4th round draft pick RB Antonio Pittman. It's a shame because I think if we wouldn't have drafted Pittman, Thomas probably had a shot at making the team. Pierre Thomas hits the hole with a lot more authority than Pittman and he seems to be a lil quicker around the outside and has a nice lil burst of speed to get separation from the defender. I hope he at lest makes the practice squad.

The Saints have good RBs and WRs, I don't care who they keep, they can't lose with any of them. I saw all the RBs and WRs getting yards, and catching balls. They Saints will have one of the top offenses once again.

Blacksaint,i'm with you on this one. This kid has talent. He'll never make it to the practice squad though, someone will pick him up. He needs to make the special teams squad.

I want him on the team. I would drop stecker, if pitt and thomas can learn the block assignments. Pitt is our back up to Duce and Thomas can be bushes. Besides steckers cut would help the cap and maybe we can get 6 or 7 for him. besides I want to thomas doing more KR duties. Your right joe the odds are against him making final waivers. Hass should have taught us something

No way he clears waivers unless the FO and coaching staff for all 31 other teams are blind. deaf and dumb (both ways). Drop a receiver for him (Reggie's half receiver anyway), cut Stecker, whatever, just keep Pierre around.

Hagan, do you have any of your scouting reports on PT? Where'd he come from?

All I knew about him before was his college ball at Illinois. Same college as Stecker wasn't it? I do agree though...Stecker has no upside. Thomas does. I'd risk the loss of depth on special teams and in blocking where Stecker gives us an edge to keep this kid around.

NOLAmite · 08-24-2007, 10:12 AM

Wow... that kid was electric last night... he should be on the team over Pittman in my opinion... not only can he see the play develop and hit the holes accordingly, there's no quitting until he's down... Pittman had no sense of urgency runing the ball and stopped moving his legs when he contacted the defense... and don't even get me started on his blocking and blitz coverage... I would keep Stecker for special teams and let Pittman go...

Lance Moore and Pierre Thomas have been the biggest standouts of the preseason (non starters) for me...

two more Weeks!!! I can't wait....

If we don't keep this kid, it won't be because he didn't give everything he had.

Everyone was told that we're starting the best 53 players, and if he isn't one of those, it's safe to say we're hypocrites. I've liked him since I watched him in the Steelers game and he's only gotten better with opportunity.

But whatever. I'm sure Payton will find a way to work him in there. Pittman will be a nice back too, he just needs development.

JOESAM2002 · 08-24-2007, 10:32 AM

Now, if only we had a say in who Payton decides to keep!

I wonder if any of the players, coaches or FO guys ever troll the site?
