Thats why PT should not see a reduced role

Danno · 10-05-2014, 05:57 PM

Some may consider this blasphemy, but I like PT even more than Deuce.

PT in traffic at line the looks like a short gain ... I'm sorry on the 3rd and 4th effort but him down for 17 yards ...

What's asinine is you acting like only one of Cadet and Thomas can be on the field at the same time. Why not both?

I think PT is the best back on our team. He pretty much has been ever since he joined the Saints. But that doesn't mean he should get every snap. We run a committee system for a reason.

If Cadet is on the field it means someone else isn't. Who do you put him in for? Stills? Cooks? Jimmy? Colston? PT?.... ya no way is Cadet better than any of them... Watson? Hill? Meach?... nope.

I would rather see Toon in the game before i see cadet. For the record my mom could have caught the TD pass that Cadet grabbed today.

Before this game Cadet had 18 touches in his career and fumbled twice... not to mention the 4 fumbles he has had in the preseason. Cadet is the equivalent of Shanle on offense.

Maybe... Deuce could take a pounding though. Not that PT can't we just havn't seen PT carry the rock like Deuce did.

Tough call on that but I might have to go with PT because of his pass blocking and pass catching abilities.

Not by me. I actually said that exact same thing today. SFIAH can back me up.

Makes those screens look easy, like Fred Astaire with pads on lol! Love watching PT, it's a thing of beauty.

He's not playing like a hall of famer though is he? I don't care if we throw it 100 times, run it 100 times or split it down the middle, as long as we are successful. Right now, it's obvious we need more balance, and when Payton occasionally has taken his head out of his butt and tried to run it, that's when we've been at our best THIS YEAR. Every year is a little different, but right now we have to run it more than we have. If Payton can't do that because of an ego then he can find the door and get out. Let's hope it doesn't have to come to that.

Brees shouldn't be throwing 57 times in any game, ever. We get Ingram back after the Bye, so that should be more incentive to run the ball down the stretch. Right?

He should be getting 15-20 touches a game. He's as good or better than any of the Super star All-Pros on the team.
