The Saints have run the Wildcat formation in practice with running back Pierre Thomas throwing passes. However, Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune write that "if they use it, it would be strictly as a trick play, not as a staple or part of their regular offense." Thomas has 212 yards and three touchdowns on 33 rushing attempts this season after missing the first game of the season and playing sparingly in the second. He has never attempted a pass in his three-year NFL career.
