He's still kinda prone to putting the ball on the turf when gang tackled though, hopefully our D plays with the same sort of emotion as yesterday and brees can do his best to throw to people in the same uniform as him.
I think RB proved in Miami that he could run between the tackles and Detroit uses him that way somewhat, more so with Bell's recent injury, but they also got George Winn off the practice squad who got a lot of carries yesterday to cover Bell's role & did Ok ... kinda' fumble-prone though, which is why he was on the practice squad.

Bush should have an Ok game, IMO ... he was part of that 'first-running-back-tandem-to-each-have-over-500yds-rushing/receiving' NFL record last season and that is one of the improved areas from the last DET/NO lmeeting I was referring to.

Yeah definitely, not taking anything away from bush because he was a huge part of us getting back on the map. Plus I think you guys have found the correct balance for him of inside runs and pass catching plays, he showed in miami he could run between the tackles but the problem they had is they tried to force him to be a 3 down between the tackles runner, Bush's injury history alone speaks for itself on that front.
You guys have found a good balance where to best utilise his skill set, although I'd love for him to go back to the dancing Reggie of old in 2 weeks time, just for one game

Stafford will come out slinging to test our D though, pass rush is as vital as ever for us if we hope to stop him
