Screens aren't the only thing Pierre is good at, although he is probably the best in the league at it.

He needs to get more involved, period. I feel like Ingram is coming along, Ivory runs like a beast, and Sproles is a big play waiting to happen, but Pierre is easily the best RB on our roster and I'd really like to know why he has been missing lately.

As a great man once said, "I demand an explanation"

I mean obviously that's not the only thing he's good at lol. But, it just seems like he's disappeared the last few weeks. I feel like he's gonna have a big game this Thurs night though.

The entire team will be glad to have CSP back, but especially PT. I'm not an Ingram hater, but it's killed me how much more he's seen the field lately.


Ingram was arguably even worse last year and he got almost 12 carries a game with CSP on the sideline. So I don't know what it is that's causing these Saints' coaches to give Ingram so many touches but sadly, CSP isn't immune either.

We ran it once yesterday but it was late in the game & Drew threw it in the ground.


and it wasn't really a true hb screen. Sproles was coming across the formation to receive the ball

not really a fair comparison since we had way more leads as well as more plays a game.

Within the past 4 or 5 weeks we haven't ran the screen pass.

We haven't had an OL healthy enough to run one

We need a running game in the clutch situations and that means Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory!!!!!!!!!! Mark Ingram just doesn't have it, maybe he needs another year at Alabama.

Last year Ingram got an even greater proportion of the carries than this year. He was getting most of the carries on 1st and 2nd down early in the game so I would say it is a fair comparison.

I am completely befuddled by the Saints use (or lack) of Thomas. From my viewpoint, he is our best all around back.

I would venture to say CSP ain't commin back. He is the one that asked the NFL if his contract extension could be voided.
