Pierre Thomas thought he played his final game with New Orleans Saints before two-year extension

Thomas said he was close enough to leaving the Saints that "I was talking to other teams."

Scary to hear!

Thomas thought last season Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson did enough late in the season to make him expendable.

"They showed what they could do in the playoffs against Seattle," Thomas said. "They showed that these guys can be here and take control and lead this team in the right direction. When it came down to it, I'm still with them, I'm happy with that."

He's definitely up against that 30 year wall.

I think he can still be quite effective if he's not over-used. About 10 touches per game should be his limit.

That's the thing though. He has always been used pretty sparingly. I think he still has a few good years ahead of him because of this.

When he's healthy, he's our scrappiest and most dangerous running back.

Not me. He produces. And he doesn't do the "F word".....

I don't want to jinx him Danno. C'mon dude.

Reggie Bush has 32 of them.

I understand that the FO was shopping PT and couldn't move him. After PT signed a two year deal they traded Mighty Mouse(I'm going to miss him) for a 5th round pick. We had an over abundance of talent at the running back position...........we still do and are going to cut a running back or two before we get down to the final 53.

Danno · 06-05-2014, 01:24 PM

Oh I get it now.

BTW,
Ingram has 2 F' words in 3 seasons.
PT has 6 F' words in 7 seasons.

None of our backs appear to be F' word prone.
