Re: Pierre Thomas Philosophy
Will Smith is slow, Eillis gets no pressure and Jordan can benefit if one other D-lineman step up. Young line is needed, I think Hicks Johnson and Walker can improve the middle of the line with increased playing time as too with Jr and Tez.

Re: Pierre Thomas Philosophy
PT 23 is the man. He's worth more than his meager contraact. He's not being used effectively now, but will hopefully stay healthy with a good rotation.

Re: Pierre Thomas Philosophy
We ain't got no money to fix our D to a great extent anyway, 100 million dollars and we can't even complete a single pass in the second half and get a total of minus 16 yards in the 4th
If we had kept running the ball when we were up 24-6, this would never have happened, but drew forces that pass and 5 minutes later its 24-16 |

Re: Pierre Thomas Philosophy
I really don't get why they aren't leaning on Pierre Thomas MORE, now that things are not going well. We've all seen Pierre pick up the whole team in a game and carry it on his shoulders for a while, when we needed to get something going. Why Carmichael can't see it is beyond me. It's like Pierre's the Invisible Man in all this, they just put him on the back burner while we keep throwing incompletions and going 3 and out and getting Drew killed back there. It's frustrating. Because nothing calms down a jittery offense better than slamming into people, being physical, pushing the pile, getting a couple first downs and moving the ball and getting a rhythm going. Then you get your confidence back instead of "tightening up."

Re: Pierre Thomas Philosophy
Well we did run PT 6 times this game, for 11 yards.

Re: Pierre Thomas Philosophy
It looks like the coaches have lost the Payton philosophy. How can you be with Payton for 4-5years and not learn anything?
In order to save any part of this season Spags will have to change his philosopy. He needs to realize what he is doing is not working. |

Perhaps it was the call-reversals that got to them eventually; its got to be deflating to work that hard, get down the field, make an incredibly athletic play, and then have one bozo overturn another bozo's initial call that you scored a TD, or were in bounds. Twice. |
