re: Pierre Thomas - The most underated back in the NFL

My biggest issue with the use (or lack thereof sometimes) with PT is on short-yardage goaline and and 3rd and short situations. It's no secret that the Saints struggle running the football in those spots. However, it frustrates me to no end to see Ingram who, when he's not missing the hole completely, is running into the back of an O-lineman, in the game, as opposed to Thomas.

Like LNCHBOX said, that hasn't happened much with Ingram lately, though. It did in the first few games, but I don't remember it happening more than once or twice since his return. They've been terrible in short yardage this year, but it's not just Ingram. I feel like the Saints have almost abandoned running on 3rd and short all together recently.
