Reggie Bush Ready to Retire a Saint

SaintGnome · 12-18-2017, 07:15 PM

By far my favorite Reggie Bush highlight, to me his most spectacular run. Reggie could frustrate the crap out of you, he could dazzle you. Maybe he didn't become the HoF RB, all time best running back for us, but he was instrumental in bringing us our ring. He was the right pick at the time and I'll always be grateful.

AWESOME

He would be a great ST player if he could tackle. Still enough speed to get it done. He's a big dude. Should have went the Pryor route and re-invented himself.

Reggie's speed was unreal, his body control (acrobatics) equally almost unparalleled, but durability, eh, not so much...

Love the guy, but be sure to put his bust in the East or West wing of the HOF!

I never wanted him to leave. Honestly, we just didn’t use him to his potential.

I think we used him quite appropriately, he just didn't live up to expectations.

Too much east-west instead of north-south

I thought he was at his best in Miami. He had 200 yard games with them. But Miami was always wanting to be a pass first team, so they moved on from him. Then Detroit took him back to how he played in NO.
