NFL.com news: Payton: RB Thomas' status a game-time decision for Saints

There is not A LOT of game film on Ivory, so teams are not to sure how to defend him. i.e. he is a big back, but does have speed. Do you put a LB on him when he goes out for a pass? Should you play the LBers close to try and stop him at the line, or play them deeper to stop a big gain. He has shown a tendency to fumble(Pre and regular season) but teams wont really get a feel for how he handles the ball these next few weeks. If he starts on Sunday, I can see Payton loading up on the run, taking the Panthers by surprise. In time we shall see.

We might want to keep him out on this one. We will need PT later, let him heal.

If PT can't go, then its 2007-2008 all over again ... Drew throws for like 400 but this time the Saints win

or the first half of the Viking game

I'm fine with the run and shoot. I was in the stands last week. Did Moore line up at TB 2-3 times?

Its time for the Betts/Ivory show.

I have faith they'll have a fine day.

Speaking of fantasy football, sit tight. There may be something in the works for the site pertaining to fantasy football.

Somebody is going to have to run the ball when we are up by 21 in the 3rd quarter and protecting our lead.
