Saints: Mark Ingram is no Reggie Bush - latimes.com

Pretty good read. I'm getting a little tired of everybody comparing him and Bush but I guess that is to be expected.

Ingram is not the playmaker Bush is. More of an uphill running back. I believe he will have a better career than Bush has thus far, though. Would you call Bush a bust? I say yes because he has failed to live up to his expectations coming out of USC.

Both being Heisman Trophy winners it is to be expected.

But comparing Bush to Ingram is like trying to compare a crocodile to a chameleon.

I agree one won a superbowl the other hasn't played in a real game yet.

Vilma wasn't comparing Ingram to Bush, who this summer signed as free agent with Miami. But it's increasingly clear that these are two very different backs. Whereas Bush has spectacular speed and tends to bounce runs outside, the rookie Ingram is a decisive inside runner who has good speed but isn't going to leave vapor trails.

I'm also getting tired of the Bush comparisons. Ingram did not replace Bush.

I'm afraid its going to get contentious every time Reggie explodes and Ingram struggles, and vice-versa. It shouldn't be that way.

They said he'd practice today and play this weekend.

Knee swelling might be he knockt it on somebody elses knee and its a little bruised. I think they just won't risk anything.
