"We've liked all three running backs since we acquired them. Pierre Thomas has done a phenomenal job since he's been with us since '07. Pierre has great balance. He's a great screen back. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. We know that Chris Ivory is one of those guys who can run with power and can make you miss. Mark Ingram, we believe is an elite back, who after having some offseason surgery is starting to come around," Vitt said.

He does a lot for this organization, he does a lot for New Orleans. He busts his butt to get the position where he's at in his career.

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:25:56 -0700 The New Orleans Saints have three talented running backs in Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles, and head coach Sean Payton said the integration of the three on the field is a "work in progress."

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:52:13 -0700 New Orleans Saints RBs Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas have alternated reps during training camp with the first-string offense. Both players have had their moments and either Ingram or Thomas will end up as the team's primary ball carrier this season. However, the running back spot for head coach Sean Payton's offense is similar to the receiver position. It does not matter which player starts, the reps at the end will likely be similar between the two backs.
Fri, 29 Jul 2011 10:57:31 -0700 New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (ankle) said he is about 85 percent healthy as he makes his return from offseason ankle surgery. He fully participated in the team's first training camp practice, but fumbled twice and wasn't happy with himself. Thomas said he was rusty because he spent most of the offseason rehabbing and not doing football activities. The surgery was done to tighten up some loose ligaments and joints, and he did not require any screws being inserted into his ankle.
Tue, 21 Jun 2011 07:34:54 -0700 Two New Orleans Saints coaches insisted that, despite the selection of RB Mark Ingram in the first round of the NFL Draft, the team is not shopping RB Pierre Thomas. "He's here," said one coach when asked about some reports that Thomas might now be expendable. "We've seen firsthand that you can't have enough (backs)."
Wed, 15 Jun 2011 10:49:11 -0700 The New Orleans Saints may consider trading RB Pierre Thomas this offseason because the team has a number of running backs on the roster and Thomas may have some trade value.
Tue, 17 May 2011 23:41:06 -0700 New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (ankle) might not be back at full strength when training camp starts, although he shed his walking boot in mid-April and is making progress in his recovery from major offseason ankle surgery.
Sat, 30 Apr 2011 06:39:25 -0700 The New Orleans Saints insist they are not planning to run RB Reggie Bush out of town now that they have selected RB Mark Ingram in the NFL Draft. However, Bush is concerned that he will become even more minimized in a backfield that is suddenly overstocked with RBs Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory. Although he is under contract with the Saints for one more year at $11.8 million, the Saints probably won't bring Bush back at that price tag. So he will either need to agree to a new contract with the Saints, or they will allow him to leave and become a free agent.
Fri, 29 Apr 2011 10:46:58 -0700 Continuing a previous storyline, New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush, via Twitter, congratulated rookie RB Mark Ingram on being selected by the Saints and added Ingram "will be a great addition to the Saints backfield just as he was in Alabama." This followed Bush's tweet saying: "It's been fun New Orleans." It sounded like Bush thought the addition of Ingram to the Saints will push him out, which may be true. Bush, however, may have overreacted.
