New Orleans Saints drop the ball by handling Reggie Bush with kid gloves

I have to agree with these guys (jh as well). There are times when Bush seems not even to have the right mind to be playing. Maybe there are things going on in his life none of us know about. He has ability, look at the Cards game, but why is he only motivated every now and then? I would like to keep a player with his ability on this team- a guy that can break it at any time, but I am not sure we absolutely need RB anymore. He definitely is a matchup nightmare and nice to have on the team, but he needs to pay with more emotion. IMHO

BTW- H e wasn't at the workouts for the players....good sign R- there ya go

Injury rehab, maybe? Posturing for money, perhaps?

EDIT: Besides, there were others missing too.

Other notable players who did not attend the practice included Lance Moore, Pierre Thomas, Chris Ivory, Will Smith, Sedrick Ellis, Jahri Evans, and Carl Nicks.

I think PT and Ivory are both still rehab.

As far as Nicks, Evans, and Moore- they all had good years. They need to be there, and it is a fair point, but they didn't have the sub par year RB did, and I am accounting for his injury.
Is LM under contract?? I know Evans was extended, I am not sure LM or Nicks situation... Anyone...?

RB posturing for money- he is due 11 mil- I am not sure what posturing he can really do, lol
