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.

Lynwood and DeadmaN, no truer words were ever spoken. Now if we can just just convince Euph to give the guy a chance. We all know his stance on the lines, God we've heard them on every post on every thread. Just give Reggie a chance. This is all new to him and the entire offense.
