Wise words from Solomon

Posted Aug. 19 at 10:38 AM

As I'm watching these preseason games, I've got the B.S. Meter set up next to the television. I'll let you know when it goes off.

From the Saints-Texans game, with former Bengals defensive back Solomon Wilcots doing the analyst work. After a 23-yard kickoff return by Pierre Thomas:

"He's Mr. Excitement. And I'm going to tell you, any time he touches it, he may go the distance."

Pierre Thomas averaged 24 yards on kickoff returns last year, 19th out of the 37 players with at least 20 returns. His long run last year was 24 yards, and his longest reception went for 17 yards. In the preseason this year, he's gained 18 yards on 10 rushing attempts and 26 yards on 3 receptions. He returned a kickoff 58 yards in team's first preseason game.
