There were a couple of plays that caused him to do down after tunning into the big guys that were just standing around wearing the same uniform.

He may not be the feature back right now but he's the best we have so he'll have to take on that role until he does become the feature back because one day soon he'll be one hell of a back, he's a type of back that can carry the load once he gains more experience, he's only played one game in the NFL as the "feature back"

Look Reggie is doing right now what he has always done and that is take some hand offs, catch some passes and return some kick here and there. Thats ALL he has ever done... why??? because he was and will never be a feature back. He wasn't drafted to be either. He was brought in so they can sale jerseys, help New Orleans recover and take some hand offs, catch some passes and return some kicks. Thats it... this feature back crap is all hogwash!

Having these so called high expectations is only going to bring him down in the future and just make matters worse. He has NEVER proven he could be a feature back anywheres he played.

Well, like it or not, he is the feature back right now. I have already conceded that I think he needs to be complemented by a power back but that I think he could take the bulk of the carriers (~75%) and still be very effective.

So just go ahead and be pessimistic and bitter...I'll take care of the delusional optimism and let the truth reside in the middle.

So the expected #1 draft pick was brought in to sell Jerseys. Wow! You know he was never the featured back because he didn't have to be and it didn't fit into their scheme. Teams that use two backs, two qb's by that argument means they are not "featured". You go with what works with your game plan. Reggie has been part of two back systems not by his choice but by the teams. They have one Bruiser and one speed guy. Our Bruiser is down so Bush will have to step up and learn to be the feature back or coach gets another Bruiser and keeps the two back system. This is the opotunity to let Bush show if he can or can not do it. To say that he can't is premature since he hasn't been in a system where he has to.

Still can't get over the "we drafted him to sell tickets and jerseys".

yeah he has no talent right?

That was pure poetry my friend…
This was my point exactly.
Give him a chance before you sell him up the river.

I hope people realize what you said... Reggie did 'ok'. OK for a number one RB pick.

I thought Reggie ran just fine

I disagree Euph
I did see the "O" line protected Drew much better this week then others but as far as run blocking I was not impressed at all
Bush was getting hit at the line on 7 out of 10 of his carries
I think it is foolish to give up on this young man so soon
I know this season has been a huge disappointment but Reggie is no flop
Maybe this will remind you and everyone of what he can do when he gets a few good blocks and I really want everyone to pay attention to the blocking in these videos
Then if you want to see something really saddening look at some highlights from this year and there is no blocking at all

YouTube - Reggie Bush TD against Cowboys

YouTube - Reggie Bush Walks it Out Saints Style

YouTube - Saints Seaon 1 Reggie Highlights

It seams easer to blame the man with the ball that to place the blame where it should be

I don't understand what you are disagreeing with me on??? Ok line may have protected Brees well at times but there run blocking they didn't do well... so they sucked. Thats what I have been saying for years the problem is with the line I don't care if they have one decent portion to a game but they have sucked all year and years before.

DeadmaN · 10-08-2007, 12:48 PM

well you said

He isn't a feature back nor should ever be.

I disagree
I know what this young man is capable of and he is a feature back

the biggest problem I see is a true lack of effort and team work
you must be willing to bleed for the guy standing next to you

But you have nothing to prove this statement on???

At USC he wasn't a featured back then... how can you even make a statement like this. Makes no sense.
