Re: Pierre Thomas BAM!
Not only was PT23 running hard, he was playing hurt with a brace on his knee. He wasn't even full speed. If you'll notice, every one of his touches was on the left side of the center. I suppose that was becoz making cuts on the right side would have been more difficult. Every time the camera showed a close up of Pierre you could tell by his facial expressions that he was in pain. I just hope he didn't complicate or further his knee injury.

Re: Pierre Thomas BAM!
I think all four running backs that have played, for the Saints this season, are doing terrific. However, I think the main reason for the great running game, is because of the O-line. They are doing just as good at run blocking, as they are at pass blocking.

excuse me here, the saints have depth at RB! it has been how many years since we said that? I am loving it. Hammer away with one, bring in the next and let the first guy rest. this is toooooo sweet. MB or PT and to a degree LH. I am just giddy

PT was playing with the flu. Took IV's before warmups and throughout the first half. Just think what he will do when fully healthy.

Re: Pierre Thomas BAM!
Carl Nicks was playing on the same side as Strief and not Evans. In any case, they were opening up huge holes that even Bush could have ran through. I think the addition of Nicks to the OL has added the power running game and the finesse to pass block too.
It seems that anybody we put at runnning back could succeed. I signed for the Jets board TheGangGreen.com - the most complete source of New York Jets information as SaintsFanMan. The board is a bit strong but the Jets fans don't seem to think they will beat the Saints in the dome. I agree. BAM! |
