Reggie Bush, Marques Colston to enter Saints’ Hall of Fame

dizzle88 · 06-06-2019, 02:19 PM

The good old days of Colston, PT23 and Lance Moore.

Bush would have his moments where he look like he wanted to play, but I'll always have fond memories of PT23 over Bush, Pierre just never gave up, played every snap like it was his last. The force he could generate to stay off the floor and move the pile was unreal.

^^^ With the exception of Bushrod, I think PT was the best player from the 2007 Saints draft class. Well, in his case ...un drafted.

Diamond in the Rough.

Pierre...definitely way at the top of favorite Saints list.

Criminally disrespected

After Katrina and all that San Antonio nonsense the drafting of Bush meant to me that the ownership was serious about staying and winning so for that Reggie will always be special to me. In 2009 there were several games where he really made an impact including the Super Bowl. His TD in the Eagles game which was tight up till that point really broke that game open. He soared what looked like 7-8 yards for a TD in the Dolphins crazy come back. If we hadn't gotten home field, who knows what would have happened in the NFCCG. He took over the Cardinals playoff game with that video game-like (on easy) TD. I never thought we'd ever get to a SuperBowl much less win one. For that I'll always be grateful. 10 letters painted on the dome's walls seems a pair price.

Reggie Bush tells the story of Bring The Wood...

I believe the bar is set so low for our HOF due to how long it took for the franchise to have some winning glory.

Reggie isn't even the worst for me. What the hell is Bobby Hebert doing in the Saints HOF? The Cajun Cannon was the biggest problem with those old Mora teams. It's easy to blame OC Carl Smith until looking at the offensive turn around in 1994-1995 with Jim Everett at QB. Hebert saved his absolute worst games for the playoffs, look them up. If advanced stats existed back then, he would've been compared to Blake Bortles and yet he's in the Saints HOF and we remember him fondly for some reason.

Grew up on Bayous Lafourche and Terrebonne and my family wasn't big Hebert fans of those wounded ducks; plus, he rivaled Diliberto in butchering the English language, but Hebert wasn't the problem - Mora was...

Mora didn't trust his players, his staff, often pulled most pass plays out of the play scripte, making the offense predictable; Hebert clarified this when he had Carl Smith on his show and callers were looking to vent...

Following weeks after that show other players on those teams corroborated Hebert's take on that time; Carl Smith was still the loyal soldier even though Mora has let him take the brunt of criticism for the offense...

Ron Swoboda famously criticized Mora for his overt conservatism; Mora became so agitated, he called in on another show and questioned Buford Jordan's manhood, Live - Jim Mora was his own worst enemy...

JP -

Kind of off topic but is it safe to say Tommy Hodson was the best QB to come out of LaFourche Parish?

At LSU, he could flat out "spin it".

No, Hebert was better; in his very early days, he could run and truck like a TE as well, sort of like Cam...

If you recall the thread with the physics show looking at Brees passes, you don't want a perfect spiral for it to travel farther; Hebert just could heave it (i.e. Anthony Carter), just not overly accurate...

Bobby played for (believe Sam Goodwin then) at Northwestern State LA (Natchitoches), then USFL, didn't get any real QB coaching till Carl Smith, but he was as good as Brad Johnson who won a Superbowl...

Tommy Hodson was really good; actually played against him our JV year; very accurate, stronger than most QBs, but nothing special for an NFL arm; but Tommy had a good head on his shoulders...

That Fourcade v Hebert was a terrific battle in the slop (man-made) down at South Lafourche; that game got more buzz than any of the Big Catholic League showdowns back in the day...

But They're the most accomplished QBs from this area...
