RB Pierre Thomas should get more carries

There's one very telling situation that calls for RB Pierre Thomas to get more carries, the health of RB Reggie Bush. In the last two games Reggie has been hurt, and not just little bruises but real injuries that caused him to miss significant practice time both weeks. Now, I not doubting Coach Payton, I still have a lot of confidence in him, but I am wondering a little about his decision making when it comes to his personnel's playing time. First it's the MLB situation, everybody in the B & G Nation and not just this forum, in my profession I come across a lot of Saints fans from all over the place and we're all in agreement that Mark Simoneau is garbage, but yet he still starts. And now we have a rookie RB in Thomas who have proven he is a talented young kid with skills and Payton don't play him very often, why? I think Payton better start giving Thomas a few more carries a game, because heaven forbid, if something were to happen to Reggie at least Pierre will be comfortable with increased playing time and won't be overwhelmed by the situation, just a thought.
