ESPN - Duece out for season

fhotard · 09-25-2007, 08:23 AM

That sucks!! I really didn't think the hit looked that bad. I was surprised to see him limping off after that one.

I didn't get to see ANY of the preseason games, but I read TONS of posts here about Pierre Thomas, and all my family back in LA says he looked great in pre-season.
So, what do you all think? Can he be effective filling in for Deuce?

I hate to see that happen to Duece because he is such a great guy, but I think Pierre could be very effective filling in for Duece.

Yes. Here's the thing with Thomas. When he gets the ball his feet don't pitter-patter like Reggie's do. He goes THAT (forward) way. He may not have the power that Deuce has, but he slips tackles and gets positive yardage. His problem is going to be picking up blitzes. I say get the young guys some PT. I'd especially like to see Thomas at RB and Young at CB play more. Uur corners just suck. Mckenzie always has...
