We creepin on a come up, ? better watch out we can still make the wildcard.
-
Thomas looks like his spot has been taken by The Ingram and Ivory show.
Where Sproles fit in when he comes back? Cuz I like the smash'em style we got know. -
Pierre's our most balanced back, gotta keep him involved in offense. Knowing our history of injuries it was a smart move to keep 5 backs.

Our best two games of the year was with without him.
I say trade Thomas in the offseason for a late round pick and keep Ingram, Ivory, Sproles, and Cadet. -

Hell no, Ivory is limited in what he can do. He is a horrible blocker. Ingram is a better all around back. Trade T. Cadet. dude is not living up to the hype when you have Sproles, Ivory, Thomas, and Ingram. If anything trade Ingram.
Thomas is the best back of them all. He is still up there with Sproles on the screen game too.
As backs go:
Sproles
Thomas
Imgram
Ivory
Cadet

He has better trade value. And he's older then Ingram and Ivory.

PT's not going nowhere...cuz he's the leader of the RB core, the most well rounded and plus Brees won't have it. He loves that screen too much to let go of him or Sproles.
If anything if Sproles comes back I think they use him less running between the tackle and more catching out of the back field and KR/PR. If anything to be safe with his injury. It does nothing but help us when he comes back. Just another weapon. They'll find the touches for him. The only reason our RB core wasn't lethal the first half of the season is because Kromer didn't know what the ? he was doing as head coach. He let a couple of fumbles in the preseason blind him to what he had in Ivory. U see when Vitt came back that ? told him he better use all of em.
Incorporating all the RBs by using each of their strengths makes it so much easier for Brees. Each of them has a strength and a weakness so they only work well when they have that rotation and are all used. Trading PT or Ivory IMO takes away 2 of the running games biggest strengths....vision and power but Ivory's major weakness is pass blocking. PT's more valuable because he's also the king of screens and a good pass blocker his weakness is that if used as a workhorse he will be injury prone. Ingram gives you that power but it only works when you give him a good amount of touches to get a rhythm and he lacks vision mostly from being used incorrectly for the first part of the season but he seems to be getting better. Sproles can run between the tackles as well but has insane speed, pass catching ability and is the most versatile because of his ST abilities but at certain times is a liability in pass blocking because of his size. So u need all of these guys. and it aint like you paying any of them a lot of money. So it is possible to keep them. If anything we need to get rid of overpaid ? on the DL (mainly sedrick ellis)
With Cadet the jury's still out. He's still a rookie. Don't think we'll hang on to him in the offseason if all the other 4 keep playing well for the rest of the season. With all the formations we use every game the way our RB core is (when used right) its an embarrassment of riches...I'd keep all of them. That RB by committee won us a SB when we were rotating PT, Mike Bell and Reggie.....this is the same thing except now you got 2 Mike Bells and replaced Reggie with Sproles...thats a major upgrade IMO.
-
That running back problem is a good problem to have because you never know when a injury might happen. I just don't know how long the team is going to be able to keep Ivory because he's going to want a bigger role. Good thing he's restricted after this season but next season might be his last as a Saint cause we can't afford to keep him.
-
We will see if we still on the right track this game, cuz Oakland is not a good team.
Power Running and quick passes should open up the deep ball against this secondary.
Plus Palmer is known to ? up with bad decisions. -
We balling now.

Pig Sooiiiieeee win, lose, draw or blowout.
Even though the D looking pedestrian right now Miungo and big Sam still the best DE tandem in college football. -
Who Dat Nation!!!!
We Ready!!!!! -
Almost game time!
-
Not so happy. -
ha ? aint too happy right now no sympathy win for you ?
-
The D has finally looked cohesive. The run D fail in the end but the O is showing that a backup, backup off the waivers Tackle will not make it in the league.
Cadet needs to be on the trade block cause Roby, Joe Morgan and Sproles is back. They can put any of them back there. The run game was there for about 3 qtrs. I hope Payton comes back and sees the difference between when they can run and they can not. -

Yea nice payback for yall big mouth coach from last year. Wtf happened to Sedrick Ellis? I mean who have the Saints bee drafting on defense. That trade up for Mark Ingram wasn't smart. I still wouldn't be surprised if they got inteh playoffs. Even with all that we only beat the Saints by 10 and they proved last year they can overcome leads quickly. Just gotta get some more ballers in the front 7 ASAP.

Sedrick Ellis was a big disappointment. considering the hype though! C. Jordan is rounding out as a good pick.
