Pierre Thomas

I don't believe it's a matter of Pierre is better than Reggie or Reggie better than Pierre. I'm glad we have them both and I hope we can utilize their talents for the betterment of the team. Pierre may be better coming off the bench in certain situations, kinda like Devery had huge success coming off the bench last year, and just like he did today.

You say " Reggie doesn't score on that play", well probably not because the defense respects Reggie where ever he lines up, but in this case the draw play worked for Pierre mostly because he's not Reggie.

We're talking about a professional NFL franchise. You respect the players on the field or you lose. This isn't preseason anymore, we're all playing to win - whether that means stuffing no-name #23 or Reggie Bush. "oh it's Thomas, let's try not to tackle him and let him score"

Thomas seems to have "it" when it comes to being productive. If they're not going to respect #23, so be it, we'll just let him run wild ALL OVER THE PLACE.

He's a nice change-up with respect to Bush. Makes them both more effective, so I say all the better.
