It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

We let go of our 4th round draft pick in order to keep RB Thomas. If he haven't been activated for the first three games of the season, I say take the bye week time and get him ready for week five. We kept him for a reason and now is the time to see if it was the correct decision, I think the kid showed a lot of promise, I say just let him loose, he's going to surprise some people.

i'm for that, lets see what that kid can do.
Geaux Saints

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

I'm thinking he will do well...but the playcalling has got to get better
if its obvious when we are going to give him the ball (as it has been) he will have trouble
i think we are way too predictable

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

It is like we should have done with Duece and Reggie let them play for a whole series or quarter. Allow one rb to stay in the game and get a feel for the defense let that heart rate go up. I just dont understand subbin key players especially if you are goin to get them the ball when they come in there is no reason to steal the plays when you show the other team who is gettin the ball. Start off the game with Reggie and the 2nd quarter let Thomas show what hes got.

It is a start. I hope the trend does not stop here.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

i thought i read somewhere that pierre has an injury of some kind thats keeping him off the field, but nothing too serious. anyone know?

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

I read somewhere today that he will be dressed and ready to play against Carolina.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

Now hopefully that's good news to my ears.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

I just hope he's as good as we all thought during preseason. Of course with the way the offensive line is playing i'm not sure anyone can run behind them. Another thing that worries me about Thomas and Bush is their size, I don't think either one is big enough to be a smash mouth back. Of course if Payton can figure out a way to put both in at the same time, that sure is a lot of speed and very quick moves. Might cause defenses a lot of problems trying to cover them both. Might have to bring back the old run and shoot offense.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

Pierre looked pretty smash mouth to me in the pre-season.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

Not to disagree with you but to me he looked quick and fast to me more than smash mouth. I'm not saying I don't like him, if you look back at threads during training camp and preseason, I was his biggest fan and praying for the staff to keep him. Let's hope we're both right.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

I hope the whole team plays like they did last year, not just one or two players.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

Looks like I've seen this one before, ummm.

Re: It's Pierre Thomas Time
 

Nice one guys..... pull a rookie RB from the bench to be our savior all because what? He ran on some teams in preseason?? Hell our offense looked good in preseason. What does that tell you?? I'm a PT fan as well, but just don't expect this kid to be the second coming..... because when he fails no one will waste time piling on him like their piling on everyone else. 0-3 does not a season make.
