Bush wondered, "Am I built for this game?"

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Reggie Bush never seemed fazed by the wise cracks that he was the highest-paid decoy in the NFL.

Yet, after often mediocre production through his first 11 games, even Bush began to wonder how long it might take to establish himself as the prolific scoring weapon he was hyped to be when the New Orleans Saints drafted him last spring.

"Being in this position that I'm in, I have a million things going through my head," Bush said after practice this week in preparation for Sunday night's game at Dallas. "The constant question to myself is whether I'm doing the right things, am I built for this game?"

Saints players and coaches have given Bush credit all along for his versatility as a runner and receiver, which allows New Orleans to present him as a threat from a wide range of formations.

In doing so, Bush was a useful distraction to opposing defenders while Deuce McAllister ran for a team-leading nine touchdowns, or while Drew Brees passed for long TDs and league-leading yardage to Marques Colston, Devery Henderson and Joe Horn.
