Reggie Poised for Playoff Push?

PrintBush, a Heisman winner and second overall pick, has a great knack for making an otherworldly play just when it seems appropriate to question his production in relation to his pedigree.
-Tim Layden, Sports Illustrated
Now that we know the Saints will be facing the Arizona Cardinals in the divisional playoff game, I can predict that all the talk will be focused on the passing attack of both teams and the likelihood of a high-scoring shootout on Saturday. Makes sense given the talent of Kurt Warner and Drew Brees. But a more balanced offensive game plan might be best for the Saints to achieve victory and that means a heavy focus on the running game as well. Normally, that probably wouldn't include too much from Reggie Bush but is the table being set for big things from the controversial running back?
Surely we can all admit that regardless of his past, Bush has looked markedly different in his running style the last quarter of the season. Instead of his usual dancing behind the line, Reggie has been able to put his head down, keep his legs moving and drive through contact. On a more consistent basis, too. That's exactly what everyone has always wanted to see from his between the tackles running and it's also showing up on the stats sheet. Reggie has averaged 29, 8 and 7 yards per rush the final three regular season games. Yet he's barely being used in the offense anymore.
Bush's limited number of carries leave all of us to naturally question his role. Why the hell does Payton refuse to use Bush, particularly in the second half, even now when he's proving he can move the ball well? Conspiracy theorists might point to possible personal issues between player and coach but perhaps it's just the opposite. Maybe Payton has been purposely resting Reggie, keeping him locked away until the playoffs. In fact, during the final game of the season - with nothing to play for, starters getting rest and Pierre Thomas sidelined - I would have expected Bush and Hamilton to get a bulk of the carries that afternoon allowing Mike Bell to relax. So I found it slightly curious when Bell carried the ball seventeen times on the day. Did Sean Payton care more about protecting Bush than Bell for the playoffs in two weeks? Is it possible that Payton has something up his sleeve, including a change in the Saints running back dynamic?
Reggie probably also has the good fortune of being the healthiest of the Saints three main running backs right now. We know Pierre will play this Saturday regardless of his three fractured ribs but that's definitely got to be cause for some concern. As for Bell, something always seems to be nagging him and his declining season stats might indicate that the wear and tear of the long season has taken its toll on a running back with his style.
There's one other point to mention regarding Reggie that was just brought up recently by my favorite Saints blogger, Grandmaster Wang, and that pertains to the future of Bush. Wang seems to think this season could be the end of the line for Kim Kardashian's boy toy and his next stop could very well be Seattle. Honestly, I wouldn't even begin to predict front office moves as they relate to Reggie but the off-season could mean big changes for Bush. With an uncapped year in 2010, the Saints might need to free up some money and get rid of bloated contracts. Reggie's salary may fit into that category and if it did the Saints would much prefer to restructure or trade rather than simply dump him without financial penalty. If the Saints actually were to entertain the idea of shopping Bush around, the current game tape doesn't prove he's worth as much as he's paid. Surely it would be serendipitous but the playoffs make the perfect stage for Bush to showcase his talents; everyone will be watching. On the other side, if Reggie wants some leverage in any contract talks that may arise, he'll want a couple of amazing playoff stats to point to himself. Either way, Bush's future could be another reason we see him more than ever these next few weeks.
Just some food for thought that I'm sure will ruffle some feathers and stir up some good debate. We may see Reggie explode if not for any other reason aside form pure luck. After all, we're at a time when it seems appropriate to question his production in relation to his pedigree, so we're due to see some otherworldly play.

isn't it funny that now we're clamoring for more use of Bush...
after 2 years of accusing Payton of having mad mad-love for him? There’s no question that Bush has looked good the last few weeks. I don’t know what Bush’s future holds in NOLA, but I hope Payton has been resting him for the stretch run…
I am lookin forward...
… at the ravage he and Shock will do there in the middle on Saturday…
You gotta go there to come back
That a boy bond
I don’t think Payton’s mad at him, after the St. Louis game he gave Reggie the game ball and stuck up for him in an interview saying he (Sean P) yells at all the players sometimes, it just ends up on camera when he yells at Reggie. I’m excited for the playoffs man. Lets burn em!
I don't mind
if he is used more but he better hold onto the ball. I start twitching every time he waves the ball around. Where is the high and tight, Tiki Barber carry?
i REALLY hope he's being saved for the playoffs
reggie has been playing well as of late and i am definitely confused as to why he’s being limited in his carries/touches. i hope he goes shock and awe in the playoffs…but hopefully the good version of shock and awe.
Who Cares?
I don’t care how Sean Payton uses Reggie Bush as long as the Saints win the game. If the right game plan means Reggie gets 25 touches and the Saints get a ‘W’ so be it…same goes for if it’s 5 touches. I trust that SP will use him in the way he feels gives his team the best chance to win.
Wins are all that matter…everything else will play itself out in the offseason.
More talk on getting rid of Bush
Can’t anyone else see the value of having Reggie Bush on your team as opposed to him not being there? The Saints offense got better the year he came. We were one game from the super bowl then. Yes, we had Drew Breese leading a terrific offense but I do not believe the running attack with Deuce, Thomas, Bell, or anyone else would have been as effective if the opposing defense had not had to plan on Bush. When they do not keep an eye on him is when he scores on them. I believe it would be a tremendous mistake for the Saints to even think about trading Bush, no matter what his stats are, because he can do so much for our team.

interesting
the playoffs make the perfect stage for Bush to showcase his talents
Hold him back and then burn him out in the playoffs, when you need him most. I guess that’s possible.
Pete Carroll is a terrible NFL coach. These players are now grown men, not teenagers looking for a rah rah father figure. You think Reggie wants to go back to that? I’ll be very disappointed in him if he does.

He actually was above .500 as an NFL coach...
his main problem with the league, according to sources, is he didn’t have control over personnel…he won’t have this problem. I think the fact that Carroll has a past with the kid and memories would actually make him play better. As soon as I heard the Carroll stuff, this was the first thing I thought of. I don’t think it would be that bad for the kids personal career, his team might not do much at first but, let’s see, it’s all speculation at this point.
Don't worry I got your back cuz...
News Flash
I just heard an interesting take regarding Carroll’s decision to leave USC on “Outside the Lines” on ESPN. They indicated that two things weighed heavily into his decision to leave. One being on-going NCAA investigations regarding alledged recruiting violations (not the least of which involves Bush) that could bring some severe penalties next year. The other being that USC is a team in decline and their “Camelot” era appears to be over for the near future regardless of the outcome of those investigations.
The real question is, would Pete Caroll be willing to pay Reggie as much to play for Seattle, as he did at USC?

What makes
Pete Carroll a terrible NFL coach? He’s only coached 2 teams and he brought them both to the playoffs. And he didn’t have much time with either team.
"Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." --Mike Tyson
I hope he partys like it's 2006
Bush simply isn’t as quick as he was before the knee surgeries. I hope we see the 2006 Bush to whatever extent he is still capable. I really don’t care who shines in this game as long as that player is wearing black and gold. I hope this turns out like the Pats game where I was nervous as hell leading up to it and was later pleasantly rewarded by seeing the Saints beat the Pats down with relative ease. One thing is for sure—the Cards are a much better team than the Pats. So, it may turn out to be a shoot out.
With the rest and weekend minicamp they just had, I think our Saints will indeed come out strong. They know it’s crunch time and I don’t think they’ll let this season end on a sour note when they know that the NFC Championship will be in their house after a win this week. These opportunities don’t come around very often. Remember the Saints moto this season—Finish!
Finish!
FINISH!!
FINISH!!!

No, I’m not Jeff Duncan.
Bush was crazy quick in 2006. Those moves of his actually worked a lot that year. He’s still quicker than most, but just not as fast as he was. This seems most noticeable on his punt returns, which have been mediocre at best this year. I know better blocking would help, but it seems he isn’t able to make those razor sharp cuts on that surgically repaired knee anymore. I hope he proves me wrong this Saturday. I’ll gladly eat my words if he does. I still very much want him on the team.

One reason we don't see as much of that
is because too much of it leads to dancing. He can still cut, we just havn’t seen him as much and he runs more North South now. I can remember one play in the last couple of games (I think Tampa) where he needed to get past two guys to get to the first, he bounced around thme and cut back to the first down. He still spits hot fire!
I don't know think he's any slower
maybe at 95% speed but I’ve seen him juke the crazy out of people, I think he’s just running more North and South. And on punt returns, he hasn’t had the best blocking so…
Don't worry I got your back cuz...
you know I love Reggie...
… but he got ran down in the open field by that DB this year. He’s no longer a young pup.
"...they're probably going to get rid of my ass..." -#94
dude had an angle plus Reggie stopped and tried to pull a Fresno State...I've seen that happen to him...
in his rookie year. Hit the angle and hit the man. I have yet to see a parallel stride for stride. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if he isn’t full speed yet. Takes a full year to recover from those surgeries. His wan’t major but still…
Don't worry I got your back cuz...
The key to this game is pressure.....
Payton knows it. GW knows it. With a healthy D it will happen.
"As you look at Arizona,’’ Peyton said, "arguably they have one of the better receiving corps in the league. I know Boldin is nicked up a little bit, but Fitzgerald is an elite player. WARNER is a tough sack. They trust Warner to get the ball out there with his quick release to beat the pressure. Statistically, if you look at Warner’s numbers versus pressure he’s fared very well."
Did you hear what Jimmy Johnson said on FOX?
A good QB, you cover his recievers. A not-so-good QB, you pressure him. And Warner is a very, very good QB. A lot like Brees, actually. Quick reads, quick release. We’ll need Sharper and his boys to be on their assignments like red on a Cardinal.
Hoping the Saints win, but I will still feel a little sad if they do. Warner’s always been one of my faves and it may very well be his last game in the NFL.

I like Warner much more than the other "old man", but....
any concerns for his emotional well being become moot when he’s playing the Saints. I’d hate to see him get physically injured but If his career ends on a losing note, so be it. He had a nice run and he’ll be in the Hall of Fame regardless of what happens Saturday.
No disrespect, but I don't think I agree with him
Not in Warner’s case, at least. Warner is old, creaky, and all but immobile. He also has a problem with fumbling when he’s hit. Blitzes that take a man out of coverage and don’t get to him quickly enough are a form of suicide; but pressure is beyond question the way to defeat Warner. Especially blitzing up the middle: he can’t step up, and he’s not quick enough to move laterally. Make him throw off his back foot, even when he makes the correct hot read. Keep it up, and eventually you’ll crack him.
Now having said that: of course, we also have to have good coverage on his receivers. Green Bay didn’t have pressure OR coverage, and that’s what killed them.

EXACTLY
Doesn’t anyone remember how the Saints dealt with Warner back in the Haslett era when he was in St. Louis? Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, and MORE PRESSURE.
The guy is money if you give him time, but if you can get him rattled, he gets wild, and then starts making REALLY BAD throws.
The way to win on defense is to go after him with every weird, disguised blitz you can design, even if you don’t sack him on it, make him try to throw on the move (what little movement he is capable of!), which he SUCKS at.
Combine THAT with a healthy secondary, and we will see another of Kurt’s patented 4-5 interception performances. That translates to an NFC Championship game in NOLA.
I’m not even worried about the Cards defense, they looked like swiss cheese against the Pack, and the Saints have a much better offense. The Saints WILL score on them.

Now don't get cocky
Warner has been doing this since the late Cretaceous, so he’s seen just about everything. He’s going to be harder to rattle now than he was earlier in the decade. And the Cards defense has this weird tendency to wake up at just the wrong moments.
It’s not a done deal—we still need our A game.
BURN THE BLACK PANTS!!!
We need our A+ game. If for no other reason than just because it will make for a much more enjoyable game to watch.
But at the same time, yeah, it’s not going to be a pushover even if we do get pressure.
On the third hand, we still have to try. Because letting him sit back there and survey the field for 6 seconds is guaranteed suicide.
Never intended to come across "cocky"...
…just saying that even THIS SEASON he’s had these types of games. He is vulnerable to pressure, he does not handle it well, still, despite his experience.
If GW can dial up consistent pressure on their passing game, and they can get to Warner, he will have a very long, and unpleasant day.
As the Friar says, the Saints will indeed need to bring their A+ game on Saturday. I believe they will.

Just my opinion
But our O-line is simply one of the best in the league. Brees is going to have much more time to get that ball out. You wont see him getting pressured like Rodgers yesterday.
flip a coin
Warner probably deserves to be a Hall of Famer and his game against the Packers was amazing. But he and the Cardinals are capable of laying a real egg. Let’s hope he has another off game this weekend. We do not need to see another 90 point game.
Reg will be ready, no excuses.
this games’ story will be about our D stepping up. Has Warner gone up against a GW coached D in his career and how did he fair? Stat Boy?

I’ve had a feeling that Reggie was being “saved” for the playoffs for some time now. And that he is going to have a signifcant positive impact in the upcoming games. It would certainly be nice to see some otherworldly play, but I’ll be more than happy to settle for significant positive impact.
Reggie Bush
reggie bush is the man. him and shockey have been waiting for the playoffs. shockey with his fake injury, bush with his 3 carries a game. payton doesnt want any teams to have footage on them, or view them as an issue. cant wait for saturdays game. i hate being a true new orleans fan in northern michigan. ive been waiting a long time for this moment. see you in miami

resting jeremy
It has been clear to me for over a month that Payton has been resting Shockey for the playoffs. He could have played more these past several games but we could not afford another injury at the TE position – and especially not him. I do think Bush will have a big role to play on Saturday. I really can’t see Thomas getting more than a few carries.
I'll never forget that screen pass he took to the house in Chicago '06

Love watching Reggie and Shock do their things,would hate to see either one not here for next season. As for as winning and losing ,can’t stand the thought of being knocked out but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if we do, I’d for sure would rather lose to a class act like Warner or even Farve before a clown like Romo. Just my opinion though.
i'm hoping it's PT and Bush alot this week
with little MB. He needs some rest I think. Also, if we can keep him out of the game this time, it’d be better for us when we play next week(assuming we win). Then, if we get the lead later in the game next week, he can pound it in a healthier form than he has been lately. Reggie’s also been turning it on more and more towards the end of the season while when MB gets the carries against a decent team he doesn’t do too great. I think we all fell in love with him after the Lions game and have been kinda blinded by the success he had in that game. I still like MB as a closer but he’s going to have to do better than the past few weeks. I’m ready to see alot of Reggie(why does PT seem to get more screens than Reggie when it’s Reggie’s specialty)! Let’s go WHO DAT!!!
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
I don't care
if Bush busts out an 80 yard run into the paydirt. All I ask is, Reggie, is that you DON’T TAUNT THE FREEKEN LINEBACKER THAT JUST CHASED YOU DOWN THE FIELD!

Global warming is largely a natural occurrence. The “man made” part of the theory — and it’s just that, as we, as a people, weren’t around the last go round — is that we contribute to it. Not cause it; contribute to it. It’s all within the same vein as recycling to assist in keeping landfills from overfilling with non-biodegrable materials, the elimination of aerosol cans to help save the ozone layer, etc. There’s nothing to suggest that it’s completely avoidable, if we handle our business a certain way … we just won’t be exacerbating the phenomenon. In others words, it can’t hurt. Waste of time? Poppycock? Hey, not everyone subscribes to every helpful (or rather “non-harmful”) measure to “save our planet”. If they did, maybe we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I said maybe.

Are “friggin”, “freakin”, “frickin”, “flippin” and “forkin” all acceptable interjections, despite their lack of symbolic truncation?

Way to go fellas
Get everyone thinking about keying on Bush then simply go to everyone else but him. That,s what was such a huge part of of the beginning of our 13-0 route.
tickets
if anyone has playoff tickets to a saints game, i will pay good money for them. im from michigan and have always wanted to go to a saints game. email me bwh05@hotmail.com
thanks. geaux saints!!!!
Best way to get official tickets is TicketMaster's TicketXchange
Here’s a link to TM… http://is.gd/6cUl5
You can get fairly good (for nosebleed) tickets for < $150 each. I used the service to get tix to the Mon gave vs. ATL and I paid $105.
I wouldn’t trust scalpers or even StubHub… Trust the source.
Saints fan in DFW. Saints go all the way... I BELIEVE!
