Saint Pierre the Feature Back
WhoDatSay.com: Saint Pierre the Feature Back
Due to Thomas’s not fitting the NFL mold for a running back, he went undrafted in 2007, and signed with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent, where it looked like he would be nothing more than a body at training camp. Antonio Pittman, fourth round pick of the New Orleans Saints in last year’s draft, was simply better than Thomas… in the weight room, on the track, at the combine, and on draft day. As a matter of fact, the only measurable trait Saint Pierre could claim over Pittman was production, and fortunately for Thomas, the Saints’ coaching staff and front office had the good sense to focus on that one category and disregard everything else. The preseason ended with Pierre Thomas showing he could play in the National Football League and Antonio Pittman collecting his final paycheck from the Saints, who had decided to go another direction with that last roster spot reserved for a running back. |

Re: Saint Pierre the Feature Back
Pierre fits the mold for an NFL RB quite nicely. He is about the size, weight, and body type as Terrelle Davis. His stock fell because the system in which he played in school didn't fit the NFL mold. He also had injury questions. He has a large chunk of muscle is missing in 1 of his gastroc's from a freak injury, but it doesn't affect his running.

you and your putty cats. LOL ever thought you may have a compulsive disorder?
PT should get at least 30% of the carries this year as Duces back up. IMO. He deserves the shot. Thats if Duce can go. |

Re: Saint Pierre the Feature Back
I agree that PT should get increased playing time, but I think the starting job should be Deuce's to lose. Sorry, I'm still a Pro-McAllister person until it had been proven that he can't come back from this surgery.
