Pierre Thomas and Saints running back situation

[spark0901]

Anyone have any idea about what will happen in New Orleans if Duece is a no go this year? Will the Saints try to go with Bush as the featured back, or use him in the slot and let Stecker and Thomas run between the tackles? Who is next in line between Stecker and Thomas if Duece's knee sidelines him?

I suspect they will not go the featured "Bush" route as that didn't pan out very well last year. What I would expect is to see a mix of Thomas and Stecker as both performed very well in the role at the end of last year. Ideally Pierre Thomas would eventually take over McAllister's job as Stecker is old but his experience with the team is high.
