Fire Reggie Bush as a punt returner

WhoDat!656 · 11-28-2010, 04:32 AM

Is anyone else ready to call the "Reggie Bush as a punt returner" experiment, a failure?

Thank God the Saints have players like Michael Jenkins, Bush owes him big-time.

Payton should have known that Bush wasn't ready to start fielding punts; he had already dropped a TD pass from Brees earlier in the game.

And who had the bright idea of using Tracy Porter as a punt returner? The Saints have enough trouble keeping the secondary healthy as it is.

And why hasn't the coaching staff addressed Lance Moore falling backwards as he catches a punt? He does it virtually everytime he fields a punt and it is only a matter of time until the ball gets away from him and the defender recovers it.

The Saints desparately need to draft a punt returner

If the Falcons dont sure up their punt return coverage and Reggie can hold on to the ball, I think you will change your mind after the Falcons/Saints game. He's rusty...give him another game or so. This coming from a Falcons fan.

You could be right. IMO,Payton should have used Bush as a RB to get him used to handling the football before using him full time.

he's got an extra 3 days to work on ball handling. You know SP will make him shower with a football in his hands

Something needs to be said to Bush about trying to turn a play into a circus act with a good lead. That was him trying to redeem himself in the spotlight, nothing more.

Maybe someone should learn the names of players on the team before expressing ignorance! IMHO

Michael Jenkins = Atlanta Receiver.

Malcom Jenkins = Saints Corner back

You would have probably gotten a pass if he were not a Falcon.. LOL
