i (for some reason not based on statistics) believe reggie is a large part of this offense. he may not get the numbers he did his first season but i believe thats b/c teams do actually look for him on the field. maybe not so much in film session but play by play.

i really cant explain it….but i like having him out there just for his big play ability.

now i am not an idiot. we pay way too much money for a player that gets 57 yards a game.

sense any making not i’m

I agree

I simply meant to express my belief that everything that comes out of players and coaches mouths in the week leading up to a game is all part of the chess match – head game of the NFL, and cannot be trusted.

 He is so dangerous that people have to account for him with one, sometimes two of their speediest players. This leaves GAPING holes all over the field. We have so many play makers that drawing defenders away from the ball means points on the board. Whoever scores them doesn’t matter. I wish there was an ‘assist’ stat in the NFL, just like in other sports, Reggie would lead the league every year.

bush does as he is told, past seasons he did what he was told, make big plays, make them often… now (as we’ve all seen) there are many many more people on this o squad… and O is right! bush is part of this team, not THE team

I am (and so should everyone else) proud of the saints O… we dont have one “T.O.” on our squad… not one, everyone is willing to give to the greater good of the team

WINS! and lots of them….

If bush was out yelling at teammates or crying/whining he didn’t get the ball enough, well thats when id become upset

Trust me we don’t want a t.o. here… bush is a great player… not a bust. you just wait till sunday when we stuff bush down the fins throat…

p.s. i know how that last part sounded, and I’m ok with it..

he’s gonna start complaining! no self-respecting player should watch his career go down the drain after all the hype he’s received. I’m not saying cry now, but I wouldn’t blame him if after the season ended he decided to vamp.

“I think you will still see bush come alive…”

Sorry, doublewide … I know Peter Frampton … and Reggie Bush is no Peter Frampton.

is one of many knives in the drawer. Ya’ got steak knives, carving knives, paring knives, (bread and) butter knives, and the all around useful cleaver! SP likes to keep them all sharp and use the right one at the right time to cut you up!

Pretty nice set of blades, Sean!

I don’t check this site everyday, so forgive the slow response. If you feel Reggie is a bust, that is your opinion. I don’t share it. Do I think he could be better? Hell yes. In hindsight, would I have spent a #2 pick on him? Probably not.
OK. GAPING holes all over the field may be a bit strong. But here is my reasoning. Every team is forced to account for Bush when he’s on the field. Many have to do so at the expense of doubling up our other tremendous playmakers. I never meant to suggest that that leaves people uncovered, but it does mean single coverage on a lot of guys who can beat single coverage. With an accurate passer like Brees, and more playmakers than (IMO) any other team can boast, single coverage is a GAPING hole. And it gets exploited every game. Could we do it without Bush? Probably. Could we do it as consistently or effectively. I don’t think so.
P.S. If Bush wants to start bitching about lack of touches, he might want to wait until after the hardware is on his finger.
