Enough about Bush's toughness...

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; "He always handles himself with maturity and class. He doesn't run his mouth, blame others, make excuses, when he does talk from behind the podium he always talks about "team" and when he mentions himself it's always about self improvement." ...

I also believe the best is yet to come from him. I also see him as a class act. I can't wait for him to really develop into the "back" etc. etc. that we all know he will someday.

That's 2!! Let's geaux get sum meaux!!!!!

I'm still trying to figure out what more people want from the guy. He's proven that if you give him the ball 20 times he'll get you a buck and change. He's proved that he can run downhill. He's proven that he can score. He's proven that he can help this team win. He's proven that he tough. Have we forgotten that vicious hit he took in the Philly playoff game last year? Most players don't get up from a hit like that. He got up, got back in the game, and helped this team get to the NFC championship for the first time.

For some reason folks keep waiting for Superman to show up. He's already here, Someday is NOW! Truthfully it's only Coach Payton's insistence on a funky frenetic offense that keeps Bush from being a consistently spectacular back in this league. The sequence where Henderson scored on the TD would be my offense. Hand the ball off to Bush with the Karneyvore leading for two plays, then suck the LBs and safeties in with play action and throw right over the top. Bush had 23 yards in his first three carries. Personally I'd run him and Pierre Thomas right into the ground on defenses.

Somehow folks have gotten into thinking that if you don't score every time you touch the ball then you're not playing well. Bush runs downhill, gets the tough yards when necessary, and forces defenses to account for him on every play. That makes everyone else on the offense better.

That's what Superman is supposed to do.

BTW I just reread my own signature. Coach Payton is learning. At the end of the game, he kept it simple and ran the ball. Bush got the first down and helped to run out the clock. Keeping it simple. I hope that Coach keeps learning that you run a staple that works until the defense adjusts, then you pull the rabbit out of the hat. Just like the Henderson TD play. That play action doesn't work if you don't run the ball with authority.

Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
