For the record however, I do think Bush is a once in a lifetime player. I cannot recall a single player I have ever watched in the NFL that can kill the opposing team in so many ways. The closest would probably be Marshall Faulk but he didn't return punts and kicks if I remember correctly.
With the Oline all coming back this year, if we stay healthy Bush is going to put up a year for the record books all purpose yardage wise.

Bush returns the occassional punt... no kickoffs.

Barry Sanders, Faulk, LT, Priest Holmes, Reggie Bush, probably Adrian Peterson next, etc. Get where I'm going with this? In a couple of years when Joe McKnight comes out or when Noel Devine reaches the NFL, they'll be the next big thing. They're all in the same mold.
