Re: Pierre Thomas falling behind Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson
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 ![]() |

Re: Pierre Thomas falling behind Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson
I fully expected Ingram to be the one dropping on the list.

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.
