Reggie's 44 yard run
 

So what does everybody think of Reggie's long run. What a great burst of speed this guy has. He also showed some toughness plowing into Pacman Jones on the next drive. He also did a good job running it up the middle. Why can't this guy be an every down back?

well he ahs to be able to protect the qb too. i think he can eventually

I was wondering when I'd see the first "hey, why don't they let Reggie be the solo back" post.
Funny, it only took one run in the 1st pre season game before it happened.

Now, I have to wait for the "why don't we see what we can get for Deuce in a trade" post.

...some folks can never be satisfied I guess...

well leilung i don't see him being able to do it just yet but we won't be able to afford both forver and i am sure the organization knows this is something for now not forever

Thinking about getting rid of Deuce is just silly at this time. The cost factor makes no sense to me because they are affording both of them now and we are still 12 million under the cap. Deuce and Reggie need each other to maximize their abilities and i am really looking forward to seeing both of them on the field together. Also, as far as Reggie's run goes, i saw him do it college and i wondered if he could do that at the next level, and apparently he can because beat the CB to the sideline with ease. That is very refreshing.

He was one block away from taking it home. Someone (I think it was Henderson) missed a block and fell down. Had he initiated a decent block, Bush would have scored.

I saw what he did in college, but I didn't think he could do the same thing at the pro level yet. Boy, was I ever wrong.

Bush is siiiiiick siiiiiiiick siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

um bob i am not for getting rid of deuce right now. not at all. like i said earlier there is more to playing running back then just running the ball. did you read my entire post. i think what i was saying is that eventually we will more then likely get rid of deuce and that eventually i think reggie can do it all. but no i am not for doing it right now.

Devery did his job. He blocked downfield which since it is "in space" is more difficult than a lineman making a block at the point of attack. The thing that struck me was that Reggie waited for the block to happen and Deverey's presence gained him another 5-10 yards. Many wide recievers are unwilling or undisciplined enough not to do this. I like the tone Payton has set. Ensuring that all players on this team will do the things that wil make them complete players and the team as a consequence successful.

All I can say is that it was beautiful to see a runningback in a Saints jersey make a run like that!

It's only the beginning, guys. At first, 'Baby Matrix' didn't sound so hot. Now, I think it has a nice ring to it. It's totally fitting.

Yes, I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a believer.
