Pierre Thomas Pain-Free Ready To Go!

True, keep them fresh and rotated. The main reason I believe PT has to carry the load is the performances of the other running backs has been pretty pathetic lately. I guess with a good rotation in order all will work out fine. I know overall there is no way anyone should complain about a combined 2100 yards rushing, but the Saints still have issues at RB that needs to be addressed after this season is over. When all three are healthy it's a very nice rotation, only problem is always someone injured or not playing well. Look at Bell for instance, he really fell of the charts as the season progressed. As for Bush and Thomas, often hurt. No clue at this point... Hopefully, the three headed monster will stick around long enough to win it all.

Agreed. Especially about Bell. He started off the season strong, but really regressed toward the end. He ended with a 3.8 YPC average. He just doesn't seem to be hitting the holes like he was at the beginning of the season.

If, and that's a big IF, Pierre can stay on the field and get 15 touches in the game Saturday and 65+ yards, that means the Saints are probably in control of the game....which means the Saints will probably win.
