Hey and not to get more stuff stirred up but what was Haslett's record in season 2?

That's right 7 and 9 and his first season he made the playoffs, won a playoff game and went 10-6. Holy crap Batman Deja Who.

I'm taking bets right now that we go 9-7 next year!

actually whats funny, looking at the schedule, It looks like 8-8 or 7-9.....but then no Mike McKenzie so, I say 6-10!

Bush is the icing on the cake. But what good is icing without a cake?

If we could trade him for a killer defensive player and a high draft choice, and not destroy our salary cap, I say go for it. We're OK at RB with Thomas, Stecker, and Branch. A healthy Deuce would be great, but not needed.

A team that wants to win can't afford a prima donna that is drawing the salary of 2 or 3 badly needed defensive players.

I have a feeling that Payton has had his fill of Reggie, and will be shopping him around.

No way I trade Bush, give him a power back that can help him and he'll improve.
I bet if the Saints were to cut him today there would be 31 other teams who would fight tooth & nail to get him signed.
Some one said here that Bush was "slow" in the slot, he's not slow period, are you kidding me, the guy is quick.
As I said though before, I'm starting to wonder if he'll ever being a great RB but I'll say this, he's an all around good football player in the right set.

Bush is one of the most naturally gifted athletes to ever take to the field. When you have a player that talented it is a hard fit into the normal scheme of football. I thought Sean Payton was the perfect man to incorporate Reggie into the scheme. I think things have been getting better with Reggie. I think Sean has been overwhelmed with his first time as head coach to focus on what he knows.

The Saints need to be overhauled, but cutting Reggie puts him against us. We don't want that! He's too special to let go. We can figure out how to use him.

How can you let someone go when you havent used him right in the first place. Payton needs to use Reggie like the coaching staff at USC used him.

He's draft value was overrated for a return man. Houston saw that.
