I doubt if anyone on this board trusts any other RB on a 3rd down pass or screen play more than they trust PT. Regardless off how Ingram or Khiry are running.

PT will have his moments too. He's still the most versatile back we have.
Absolutely. PT was a huge part of our success last year. He ain't ready for a wheelchair just yet.

These guys will all get plenty of carries. PT still looked great 2/3rds of the way into last season before he got that chest injury. If he has "lost a step" he sure lost it fast.

Re: Pierre Thomas falling behind Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson

I am not too sure I agree with Ingram and Robinson moving past PT as much as PT drifting back into a different more specialized role. As the years pile up on NFL players duty's change and you often see a veteran no longer playing special teams just to keep the mileage down.

We have Robinson and Ingram to pound the rock and take the abuse, lets play smart ball and use PT when he fits the situation... Like the Screen

I fully expected Ingram to be the one dropping on the list.

Whatever role he plays is fine by me,I just want him to retire a Saint.

Re: Pierre Thomas falling behind Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson

I honestly see them all getting about the same carries. PT is older but still a year or two from full on retirement mode. I swear, Ingram has one great PS game and now it's over for PT. That's it buddy, out to pasture.

Ingram has had more than 1 good game and he's including Khiry Robinson in his justification.

Ingram's last 10 games, 6.35 YPC
Robinson 2013 - 4.35 YPC
Thomas 2013 - 3.7 YPC
