Pierre Thomas

QBREES9 · 12-16-2007, 11:18 PM

How about this kid? Only had 2 carries for 20 yards but his gutsy 11 yarder sealed the deal just before the 2 minute warning. Stecker did his thing very well but I feel very comfortable with him having the ball.

I don't like him returning kick offs. I think they need to let Cooper or Henderson do it.

Although most of Pierre's carries have been in garbage time with 10 in the box, he still has an 4.8 yard average. I have a feeling that if PT had a game to himself and got in the flow, he could do some serious damage. It's hard to break into the lineup on a Payton team, but I guess we will get to see him after we're eliminated from the palyoff's.

I could see Copper maybe but Henderson??? No way. He is to unreliable catching the ball. PT has done an ok job. he seems to always get past the 20. He has not done any real bone head plays. Yet.

That was his worst KO return game. I couldn't tell if it was the blocking, Card's coverage or if PT was not seeing the field very well. As far as runs from scrimmage goes, coach wants to give Stecker the carries so that he gets into the game and so far he has done a great job (other than that fumble). PT would have to do 15 carries or so for us to see what he really has. Since we are still in this, I don't think he will change this.

I'm with hagan. I don't trust Henderson's hands well enough to let him return a KO. And apparently, neither does Henderson. Ha.

What about Moore? He's done pretty well, hasn't he?

at catching the ball and first downs, he's a definite lock, punt returns... i don't know. the thing that did it for me was lance pulling a michael jackson on that PR. i like him, i really do, but his punt returns are UGLY.

Henderson on Kickoffs, hes got some time to catch the ball and making some great grabs lately. Kickoffs ok... no punts. Let him turn on his jets and go. That is what we are lacking in the return game no one is showing speed.

papz · 12-17-2007, 07:03 PM

What are you talking about he's been making great catches lately... he averages maybe a catch a game and zero last game. He speed back there would be nice but the man can't catch. Go back and re-watch your game tape.

on KO's the cards were running right past our blockers....easy to see from the nose-bleeds!!!!!
