Best Saints Running Back

Who is the Saints best running back?

It looks like our OL has developed from a finesse blocking line to a power running OL too.

Reggie Bush has flashed excellent and if the OL opens holes like they did for PT yesterday, he could be the best running back. But Reggie has had his chances too and PT has always delivered. Mike Bell looks like a combination of the two and might be the best back. So who do you choose?

Make a case for your pick.

Re: Best Saints Running Back

Right now, I have them PT, Bell, Bush, then Hamilton.

I'm losing faith in Bush every week. He still runs too East West, and drops like a rock on first contact. It also looks like he's lost some burst. I wonder if he's hurt.

I don't even get excited when he's back to return a punt anymore.

A healthy PT does everything... so he's first. Then Bush (regardless of how he performs he commands extra attention when he's on the field opening things up for everyone else) followed by Bell and Hamilton.

Re: Best Saints Running Back

Put me down with PT, Bell, Bush...

I'm with SFIAH. Bush doesn't excite me that much anymore.
Bush is the most expensive decoy in the league.

And Bush was even a great decoy on the sidelines, as PT gorged the Bills defense time and time again with Bush watching.

Re: Best Saints Running Back

A friend of mine made an interesting suggestion regarding Bush during the game. Put him on special teams as a gunner so he can learn to become more physical and not shy away from contact. I thought it was a great idea... thoughts?

Whatever it takes to give Thomas and Bell more carries, I'm all for it.

Re: Best Saints Running Back

i voted mike bell of course....we asked the first 2 weeks and most people said bell....we ask this after PT returns and we get PT as the answer

pierre beat up on a worn down, tired defense at the end of the game.....the line openned ridiculous holes for PT and reggie late in the game

i cant give it to PT right now just because of what we know bell can do....IMO PT will have his chance to earn his spot back but i still gotta give it to bell for now
