Bush had 88 receptions (I belive that was arecord for RBs at the time) to lead the team, his first year was a really good one.

I however think the Saints coachingstaff misused Bush during his time in New Orleans. He is not a guy that should get 3 carries, 5 receptions and a puntreturn, thats not the way to get the best out of him. Bush IMO is a rythm player, he need to get touches in order to blossom. And more than anything, don't try to just give him the ball in space, his best runs comes from the Pro formation with a FB in front of him. The Saints were stupidly scared to use him as a everydown back and that was his downfall in NOLA.

Whilst you are exactly right and I completely agree with you, it was hard for the coaches to give him 10-15 carries a week when he was constantly hurt, he might be playing but he always had something wrong with him

Maybe... time will tell... his having to split time in the backfield here assuredly has lengthened his career in the NFL. Although he sure seemed to be made of porcelain at times. Or was that Kim's fault?

Kim's fault ... you can't hang around a diva like that and not expect some of it to rub off, look at what she did to that basketball player ... look what Madonna did for Dennis Rodman, Alex Rodriguez ... women weaken legs, it's a known fact,

... no sex before a fight, either.
