Thats why PT should not see a reduced role

dizzle88 · 10-05-2014, 05:23 PM

When Brees needed a first down or a big play to get the momentum going, the ball always went to PT
Ingram and Khiry have been fantastic, but there's something about PT that makes him special
Crunch time and he always comes through for us, when brees needed first downs in the Superbowl, who did he go to?? PT23 - who converted about 4 first downs himself on our 3rd quarter opening drive

The old guy is not done yet, his role should reflect that.

He earned those scores. This man is MONEY. We need to build our offense around the run and get away from all this forced passing.

Like Payton, an ex-quarterback with a HOF QB would ever do that...

I don't understand why Cadet is getting reps over PT... blows my mind, of all the dumb mistakes Payton has made this season that is number 1 for me. Cadet has done absolutely nothing for this team yet we still see him on the field when PT should be out there.

PT was a monster. That TD run was awesome, plus he led the team in receiving. PT just WILLS himself for positive yardage nearly every time he touches the ball.

PT's effort was heroic today. He clawed, scratched and fought for every yard. That is the kind of effort that can inspire your teammates.

Well, I agree PT is a lot better than Cadet, but that's not a knock on Cadet. He played very well against Dallas and again today.

Played well against Dallas... maybe you think him fumbling the ball is a job well done...lol

Aside from your asinine post about Cadet playing well, why the hell should he be getting reps over PT? He does nothing better/as good than PT... nothing.

6 receptions for 60 yards isn't bad. He fumbled when the game was already out of reach, not like it mattered at all.
Also, he scored a touchdown today against TB.

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.

The run where Pierre Thomas met Major Wright at about 5 yds and smoked his ass and got another 3 or 4 yds was SWEET! Doing his best Deuce impression today putting the team on his back.
