Pierre Thomas

It was mentioned earlier- our coach is pass happy. Passing has its place, but we need to be able to run the ball, effectively. That depends on both HOW and WHEN you run. Bush, Stecker, Thomas, and Karney can be used more effectively. Each brings their own unique contribution to the running game. Our offensive line also has its strengths and its weaknesses. It is Sean Payton's job to get the most out of what we have, and design and call the plays that work best for us - in the moment. Blocks don't have to be perfect, just effective. Our success each week will be a toss up until we can develop some consistency in the running game - Karney is the key.

You're right. He is pass-happy, or more accurately "big-play" happy. He tries to get the big play EVERY single time. Which is good if it's working and don't have a close game to win, but when things get tight, and time starts winding down - you NEED the running backs to be able to help pump life into your offense and keep the game moving.

You can't pass pass pass punt every possession, it's not good for the whole team.

That was the Eagles' problem, they were complaining that Andy Reid was passing too much, and scoring too quickly - therefore they couldn't keep a lead and they were losing games. They gave the playcalling over to Marty Morhinwig (whateva it is) and they became more balanced.

I want to see more him too. One run is all we are talking about. Lets see him pick up the blitz too. I think he is a good diamond in the ruff. Give him time. He may replace Stecker by next year as the #2. But please let him and the other young guys play.

Guys, it seems to me that Reggie and Pierre both play for the same team. Let's not fight over which is better. Let's thank god they were both productive Sunday and hope they do more of the same from here on out!!
