Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

But that isn't "benching" - taken out of a game because his head wasn't in the game and making bone headed mistakes.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

We could use some help on Defense at his expense...lol

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

He stepped out before the first down marker...

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

:itsgood:

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

hey isn't reggie averaging 4.9 yds/att? that's really good if you didn't know. am i the only one that has noticed when reggie is stopped behind the line it is usually because of a good defensive play call? thats when he starts "dancing" because he's trying to make a play.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Stats are for losers.

You can make stats into anything you want them to read. If you don't watch the games and see the mistakes and see how insignificant he is... then you are missing the boat.

This team has and continues to win not based on his performance but everyone else.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

hey aren't you the one always saying he doesn't produce enough for a 2nd overall pick? maybe you should check out his stats because as far as yards and td's go he's been very signifigant. and everyone else makes mistakes too. drew throws picks, colston drops balls, o-line misses blocks, and i've seen sharper take bad angles and miss tackles. if you don't understand that the offense is better with him, then your boat has sunk.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

If you are a second round pick, your team needs you to win. If you are injured or on the bench shouldn't your team lose or struggle??? Here I'll answer that for you YES! The one person you can't have injured or benched is who??? Here I'll answer that for you BREE's, Sharper... these guys play at a level far beyond what Bush is capable at playing at.

2nd round picks should not be 3rd string and should not be benched. The clock is ticking and his days are numbered. Get over the man crush this is football and football is business. The math doesn't add up and really won't add up next year with his salary increase.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

why put so much stock into where a player is drafted? at that point it is unknown what kind of a pro they will be. if i was to believe your argument i would say there's no reason to expect any thing from colston or pierre because of their draft position. the bottom line is that the offense is more dangerous with reggie than without him.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

LMAO now you are twisting my words.

You seriously think that??? Thats basically my point why pay 8 million to a 2nd rounder who is 3rd sting to guys who were not even drafted. Give the money to the players who are contributing to wins.

Besides based on your stat of Bush... Colston is a better RB than Bush... he has 6 yard average per rush to Bushs 4.9.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

I tell you what... I'll give you 3 bucks for your Bush jersey... I am in the holiday spirit.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

man, you are in the spirits! LOL

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

i'm not twisting your words, i'm trying to explain that reggie does contribute to wins, and releasing him because he's made a lot of money, and giving it to someone else, doesn't mean there is going to be more talent on the team.

And i can't recall ever seeing colston line up as a rb, although i'm sure i've seen bush split out.

for some reason i'm sensing some usc hatred goin on out in hollywood! lol!

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

I agree with all of you but I also think when he's on the field defenses audible to stop him. So lets bring out Thomas and bush and run a few trickery plays. That way all the reggie looks can benefit us

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

agreed

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Yeah but in order to do that he has to be on the field instead he's on the sidelines watching Bell or Thomas when the game is on the line so that argument really doesn't hold up.

If he was so important he'd be in when the game is on the line.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

he sure gets the ball near the endzone alot for not being in the game when it is on the line.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

apparently you didn't see the redskins game where he stepped out just before the first down marker which we were not able to convert and punted. Soon after the knucklehead stepped out damn near Payton who pointed it out to him on the spot... GOT BENCHED! He did make a good cheerleader after that.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

oh, you mean the game where he was coming back from injury, and everyone already knew his role would be limited?

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

apparently you haven't watched many games this year either.

People are getting tired with his lack of production and with the price tag on his head for next year he is as good as gone.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

It's one thing to be opinionated. It's another to be an aggressive .

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

What is misunderstood is that when he stepped out of bounds after making 9 yards Payton wasn't mad apparently. In fact, Bush was in the play after that. And if the Saints can't make a first down after a 2nd & 1 then shame on them.

Now I did see Payton get upset at Bush when he blocked during what should have been a screen to him. He must have missed the call in the huddle on that play and it also resulted in an illegal lineman downfield. Which then led to the famous Meachem TD. Which in fact was a horrible Brees decision to even throw that ball.

So Bush made a mistake then Brees made a mistake.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

This thread is about Bush, not Brees. But since you bring it up Brees can win games for us week in and week out Bush... nada.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

I don't think he was made at Bush either at that point but it all added up and its funny how he got lots of bench time after... hmmmm.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Possibly. But he was only predicted to play 10 to 15 plays in the game anyway. I'm not defending Bush really just saying I don't think that his run out of bounds was a bad play. It was 2:05 left in the half and it looked like Bush thought he had the first down since he was yapping at the ref afterwards. Maybe he was just trying to stop the clock before the 2 minute warning to get another play off and thought that the ball was past the first down marker. Even though 9 yards on the play and then a run out of bounds to stop the clock is still not a bad play anyway.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

You sure Bush can't win games? Maybe not week in and week out but he sure can make winning games fun. :mrgreen:

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

He really hasn't. He hasn't put this team on his back and said I got this and wins a game. He's been on the sidelines when the game is on the line more times than not.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

sorry reggie; i have to agree with my who dat's, get off your can and produce man

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

What is this mans problem ? I am almost on the bust wagon for him. For sure he does not have the power to break tackles and seems he does not understand angles and is not really elusive. His days are numbered here for sure unless Payton has a magical role for him that I have not seen. The Saints are getting very little production wise from him and his numbers are going to help him hit the road looking for a paycheck.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

just so you know, i can't recall a game i've missed since they came out with the vcr.

now, if you understood football better, you would see why the saints strive for offensive balance, and why players have different roles according to their strengths. i swear you only repeat stuff you hear on pregame shows.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

I hope that was your piss poor attempt at a personal attack.
I know very well what the Saints do on Offense. And you aren't on offense if you are standing on the sidelines.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

i don't have to attack you, its quite clear you don't understand when or why certain players are on the field.

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

I understand very clear... when they are screwing up and their head isn't in the game you take them off the field, that is very clear.

Don't be to attached to that Bush Jersey of yours...

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Fair enough but quit bashing everything Bush does (even the 9 yard runs) because you were too cheap to buy a Bush jersey of your own. :p

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Bush for MVP!!!!

sorry, just stirring the pot...

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Bush just traded for two bags of crawfish and a case of Shiner...lol...

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

sure if their head isn't in the game take them out, but don't you understand the benefit of stopping the clock right before the two minute warning? tell me how that is screwing up?

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Saints failed to convert the first down... we had to punt. If you would have paid attention to all the remarks in this thread instead of just focus in on being a troll and trying to start something...

Re: Bush draws Payton's ire again
 

Again, the Saints failing to convert a 2nd & 1 after a 9 yard catch by Bush doesn't help your arguement.
