Pierre has been the starter..... As much as any RB can be called a starter for the Saints.

Really. It seems for the most part the word starter has become irrelevant. It used to mean the best in that position and when you're talking about the offensive line and QB, it still does. Other than that it now means the best in that package. So yeah, we'll see a lot of PT when his packages come up, a lot of Sproles when..., etc. It'll be the same for the defense.

Yup. We only have three ball handling workhorses, QB, Center, and kicker. Everyone else is situational.
