Pierre Thomas Fan

Saintsfan4ever · 08-24-2007, 04:01 PM

hmmm, I remember a few seasons ago when Deuce went down with an injury and Stecker kept the running game legit, I haven`t forgotten that. IMO Stecker has proven and earned the right to be a solid back up on this team. Would I cut Stecker for a rookie that looks good against 3rd stringers and camp bodies?.mmm I don`t think so. Would I like to keep Pierre? of course. But I`d find some dead weight elsewhere to make room for him, not waive a versatile proven vet.

Does anyone else remember having this conversation about Branch last year?

Yep I remember that but you did not hear it from me. Thomas needs to get the ST resume going ASAP.

Depth chart

RB - Duce - Stecker - Pittman - Thomas
WR/RB - Reggie

there is my depth chart. If they can keep Dudley some how, some way, then all the better. I say make room for him by going with one less WR.

Thomas has my vote and I think we should keep Branch too.

back in 1997 me an some friends went to some saints mini camps an there were 2 rookie qbs danny wer-weak arm a3rd rd pick an Jake Delhomme.We all thought he was head an shoulders the best qb.2007 from what i here pierre thomas looks best in mini camp best in regular camp in jackson best in preseason games all above antonio pittman.this is part of what sunk DA coach Ditka cant see the best player sticking with bad draft picks.Who cares if pittman was a 4th keep thomas admit pittman should have been the undrafted rookie.Thomas prob will not clear waviers pittman cant see a hole will not clear only because he was a early 4th rd pick an a lot of teams jump on this type of player.we have to keep our first rd pick which to be fair he has played hurt all peseason so i still think in time he will play up to the 27th pick.

Pierre Thomas LOOKS BEST DAY AFTER DAY IN SAINTS CAMP GOING UP AGAINST SAME PLAYERS THRU OUT SAINTS DEPTH CHART.PITTMAN AGAINT THESE SAME PLAYERS ALMOST ALWAYS COMES IN 2ND.

Also Thomas Has Looked Good In Camp As A Kick Return Guy An Has Looked Good Picking Up The Blitz An Looks Good As A Receiver Etc . Etc. All Above Pit Cant Break A Arm Tackle To Save His Life.

My vote is cast on Pierre Thomas and Dudley (fullback).

I won't question Payton, that isn't my place.

But if Thomas turns to gold when he leaves, and Mike Karney goes down with an injury and we're scrambling for a fullback...

It'd be almost like the Haslett regime.

Pierre Thomas had a very nice game. I was enjoying it like I was watching a "real" game...But it wasn't real. It was a Pre-Season game against katz who i'll be tryna buy insurance from in 2 weeks.

But with that bein said...I really like the kat. All of our RB's and WR's are nice. Thomas is cheaper and maybe a lil better than Stecker...but if 26 goes down, and we have to play somebody i'd rather have a back to protect Drew Brees vs a back wit a lil more speed. I wish we can keep em all...But since we tryna WIN A SUPERBOWL...Keep the veteran for insurance purposes.

But it really don't matter, because if any RB has to play besides 25, 26...we are in a lil trouble anyway.

NO MATTER WHO THEY KEEP. NO MATTER HOW OUR OPINIONS DIFFER...WE GON' ROOT FOR THEM THE SAME...CAUSE WE ALL BLEED "BLACK AND GOLD"!

who dat

Pittman has speed but no power, hits the line and STOPS!! Thomas hits the line and MOVES IT or goes through it!!
