Is Time Ripe for Reggie Bush?

I would love to see him have a great year but I don't expect Payton to put him in too many compromising positions. I anticipate more of the same as the end of last year. Lot's of creative packages to showcase his talents.

if your expecting him to be a power back than you will def be upset. thats not him. he is, however, consistently the best athlete on the field

This is his year, it has to be. He has too much to lose, and I don't see him letting this year just sizzle. He's got that sparkle in his eye.

What I think a lot of don't realize is he makes just as many big plays as the rest. It's just when you get the ball 10 times a game, and 4 touches are bad, you'll think he's horrible. Though it PT gets it 40 and mess up 16, you won't think that.

He's healthy, and I feel he's angry. Nothing encourages a better season than a player out to redeem and prove himself.

it seems that with all the so-cal and bush bad press that one will explode and leave a trail of rubber and smoke and let it be reggie.

I'd say that Goodwin belongs on the second or third shelf, but I completely agree with you on this.

If Reggie uses all the bad press as motivation, continues to run between the tackles.....yes, I think Reggie has a great year. Not just four or five good games...but the whole season.

That would put a little spring in my step also.

hell yes. he's mad and he's coming out with a vengeance.

I'll be sporting his SB white jersey for the game so I hope he comes out on fire! If he's going to showcase what a badass he is, he better do it this year. Alot of BS about the Heisman and he's in the last year of his contract so I don't know what else could motivate the man. I hope he runs all over the Queens!!!
