if pierre thomas can't go
 

if pierre thomas can't go does that mean that Robert Meachem may get activated to return kicks and possible play a little
right now i prefer thomas but i'm thinking with this what if from a coaches stand point to have another weapon
i know we have jamaal Branch but he's on the practice squad which means we'd i have to drop some one down to practice squad and pull him up to activate him which could be another scenerio where we put pierre down to practice squad until he heals and pull up jamaal branch to active until pierre heals
which do yall think will happen
or want to happen?

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

I think if this is a one week thing, then Meachem will probably get activated. If longer than one week, look for Branch to get activated and possibly Jay Bellamy getting put on waivers. I don't think PT would make it back to the practice squad, someone would likely grab him off the waiver wire.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

I agree that PT would never make it to the ps. Someone would snap him up. Meach might be an answer to returns if he's healthy. I havem't heard anything on him in a while except to see him warming up before the Panther game. Maybe?

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Stecker, Stecker, Stecker.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Gotta have Branch. Forget Meachem, we need power between the tackles more than another balky set of hands on the perimeter.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

I agree with Branch as the running back, but we also need a return man. So who's that gonna be?

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

I could see Cooper or Stecker back there.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Better get used to it, Stecker. Like him or not, he's your man, now if PT can't go. Heard him on the radio today and he sounds fine, just scared as hell when he urinated blood this week.
Stecker has been returning kicks, knows the offense, can pick up blitzes, etc. and he has been running hard.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

i guess ill have to do it

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Let's not forget that Stecker was a return man in Tampa for a bit. Held the record there a while too, didn't he? Longest runback? Almost scored? Though I think Tampa has still never made it to the end zone on a kickoff return.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Who is Robert Meachem???

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

p.s.
LOE thank for the kick off return jinx...

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Copper might could do it but I'm losing faith in Stecker as a return man.

P.S. In fact, the more I think about it the more I think Copper might just be the guy. He has the moves and the speed to get it done. Maybe they'll give him a shot.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

I would have to put Lance Moore or Deverey Hendersen. Surely Deverey can catch a ball going end over end.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Are you sure? LOL. Just kidding. He is an option.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Screw all of that. The Saints are fighting for the season, just let Reggie Bush return kicks and punts. He is still the most explosive player on the team, and most of all he wants to do it all. Why are the Saints not letting him return, risk of injury? Well, at 5-6 it's time to let Reggie do his thing. If he gets hurt, then oh well.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Reggie Bush needs to use his cutback lanes and stop pausing so much.

The practice squad should invent a drill where if you run out of bounds you get electrocuted. It should begin to correct Reggie's little nfl (bed wetting) problem.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

how about MM?
has he ever done it?

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Tell you what, if we loose this game or the next Mech will see the field. The season is over.
As far as kick offs go, put everyone back there. Put Bush deep and flank him with Stecker and Moore. We need this game. Let Tampa choice which one to kick to.
If your thin at RB and bring someone up from the PS who do you hang out there on the wavier wire? (That was a good question.) Looks to me we will do it with 2 RB and 1 FB. Besides no one has racked up yardage on the ground against Tampa. If we are to beat them then it will be a 65-35 mix. Pass to run. Misdirection and quick hit trap plays seem to best against them and there is no one on the PS that fits that bill. So bit the bullet and go with you got.
I would like to see an OL in the back field with Mike on short yardage in this game. Hey that might get Andy on the field.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

branch is the answer

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Amen,shouted the choir!!!!!!! Bring him on. :p

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Maybe Meachem is redshirting

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Stecker, Stecker has looked good. He'll step uo.

Re: if pierre thomas can't go
 

Will this be a game time decision, or is he out?
