Another Reggie Bush thread
 

You know, most people are talking about how Reggie will never be an every down back or whatever. The last few games though, even though he hasn't put up great stats(mostly because the ball hasn't been in his hands a lot), he looks more confident with what he is doing when he gets the ball. And while a lot of people will probably say they are tired of these types of threads, I actually think a breakout game for him is coming up. He looks like when he gets the ball now, he is in attack mode, instead of trying to dance with the defenders.

RB, Has been getting more playing time now that he has been lowering his head and showing SP he wants to be out there. Has anyone else noticed this?

Got to love SP!

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

...and he is holding the ball correctly and not fumbling. Pretty normal stuff... you screw up less game time. You get your mojo in the right place more playing time.

Still not sold that we need to keep him just yet if it comes down to cap numbers.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

He is what he is. The staff has been using him well lately. The Saints offense sprays the ball around a lot and much of who the ball goes to is contingent upon how the other team is defending them.

With this in mind, regarding a breakout game for Reggie, Im sure there will be weeks when he'll get more touches than others and yes, Im sure he will shine is some of these games, he does seem to be running with just a bit more purpose lately.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Watch Reggie get the ball alot more for the next two games. And imagine this, what if Reggie catches or scores the game winning td for a playoff game or the most important game if you know what I mean. Would you be sold to keep Reggie? Just put it this way Reggie really was a good contribution; not great but good. We gotta show him some cause I know that guy has heart and skill maybe not much confidence not yet but he is getting there. So let's support him. Geaux Reggie geaux saints! Btw Reggie shoul kick Chris johnsons ass! If he was like him you guys wouldn't be posting this much threads about him. Or maybe you will but praising him!

Reggie isn’t going to leave the NOS, a pay cut yes but to flat out gone – no. He does appear to be in attack mode when he gets the ball. The correct plays are needed for him. As far as running the ball he’s been doing fine I just would like to see the put return game wake up.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

you know its funny, his last few runs, he has been in attack mode style, but
they've been outside passes with a lone defender, and I was hoping he'd dance a little on those.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Yup... you've got to love it. I think Thomas and Bell's running style is rubbing off on him. No longer is he that pansy that shies away from contact... he's initiating it. Remember Reggie is still just 24 years old.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

i dont think hes a great player definately needs to restructure his contract he aint worth what they paying him but he has made some decent plays this year.I am glad to see he is finally lowering his head and not dancing around.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Maybe the guy is starting to feel healthy again? You know he has been banged up his entire career so far. As for punt returns, I really can't pin that on him. The Saints special teams is pretty bad this year. I do think he is getting fewer opportunities because of the other guys who have stepped it up, guys like Shockey, Bell, and Thomas. Keep him around 10 touches so he can stay healthy seems to be a pretty smart thing. As far as what the future holds, who really knows. For now I will just enjoy and hope for the best!

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

I would never say that, because one little tweak, and Reggie may have to be an every down back for most of a game.

It's great to have 3 capable backs on the 47, and another on the 53.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Reggie does seem to be attacking the defense a lot more lately, yes I think that Bell and PT are rubbing off on him. It won't be long before his breakout game...hen could sure use one. ;)

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Exactly. I hear people complain about his "dancing" but there is a time and place where thats a good idea. The problem lies in him doing that instead of lowering his shoulder and getting the couple extra 1st down yards when thats what the situation calls for

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Yeah, he has not been a detriment to the team for a while. Maybe he is finally getting it.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

It was more of not reading his blocks properly and the fumbles. Carrying the ball wrecklessly.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

His contribution is not just in rushing and catching passes. He has been very solid in pass protection and he may have saved a TD on the Chris Gamble INT return. It does seem like the light bulb has come back on with the rushing and the punt returns like it was on last year before he was hurt. I hope he will break one soon.

Bottom line: he's not the best pure runner on the team but he is a very versatile football player and exciting to watch.

Re: Another Reggie Bush thread
 

Remember he sat out most of camp and preseason. I'm not at all surprised he had a slow start this year.
