...maybe I missed somthing.

I meant, maybe he's not 100% recovered from the groin injury that kept him sidelined all pre-season, even though he's listed as a full go at practice.

He didn't play but one pre season game, if that.

Unless we've given Cadet the return gig, I can see both being inactive.

Maybe, but I'd heard Cadet excelled on coverage units too.

Cadet has good size, shiftiness, and displayed good hands during the preseason. To maximize the potential of all our toys, I'd love to see the Saints stretch him out and give him some reps at receiver. Not a permanent move or anything. Just to give us another weapon X... have a joker card up our sleeve.

We won't be trading any of our backs. When we need a back we've got one. Ivory will not be active most of the year and is at this point an insurance policy in case Ingram goes down.......Lord forbid.

Yes- Ivory was hurt at the beginning of the year, but a 'healthy scratch' for a few games

It was only four last year, I think... Thomas, Sproles, Ingram, and Ivory?

I have a feeling that with Joe Morgan and Cadet making the roster this year that Sproles might not be returning punts and kick-offs anymore. I know Sproles is probably the most durable RB in the league but why risk getting him hurt when Morgan and Cadet can both be kick returners?!

We sat Pierre for an entire year after his breakout pre-season
