Deuce or Bush

daviddrake2 · 08-10-2006, 09:54 AM

I think opponents will key in on Bush more because they'll see him as a major threat. Expect a lot of double coverage that will open up a lot more holes for Duece and company.

If Duece stays healthy and stays in Payton's good graces, then I believe he'll get the ball a lot. That could lead to a BIG season for him, but I am not sure that he'll be able to rush for 1,000 yards with the depth we now have in the running game.

Bush should be, IMHO will end up being 2nd in both rushing (behind Duece) and in passing yards (behind Horn). But, he very well end up being 1st in overall yards for the season.

Any way it plays out, it should be exciting to watch -- a hellava lot better that the last year or two.

Go SAINTS!!!

I think because of his ability to block Deuce will be in on more third down plays. Because of that I think he'll have more opertunities for dump off passes and get more overall. I see them splitting first and second downs, so if not for thirds it'd be close.
