... "Former Trojans Tripping Up in NFL." "Dancing Cockatoo Loves a Boy-Band Beat" (Actually, there's a slight chance that last one may not have anything to do with Reggie...) In light of all the bad press, we decided to open up Reggie's stat book for ourselves to see just what all the trash talk is about. So far, Bush is averaging 3.5 yards a carry, has a total of 244 rushing yards on 69 carries, and 2 touchdowns. He's got 166 receiving yards, and he's fumbled 3 times (two of which were recovered.) Okay, so not exactly MVP Numbers. But do the numbers really tell the whole story about Reggie's impact with the Saints and his potential for greatness? Take for example someone like ...

... the damn field. If you didn't get a little emotional watching Super Mario serve notice upon the nation that he was undoubtedly the correct selection atop the 2006 NFL Draft, you don't have nearly enough invested in the Houston Texans. Make sure to check out the interview (approximately eight and a half minutes) Mario gave the NFL Network crew after the game. Just for fun, and with the obvious warning that numbers never tell the whole story, here are Reggie Bush's career numbers and Vince Young's career numbers. Please let me know if ...
Super Steve Slaton
Battle Red Blog —
... Shanahan sees Slaton being able to make contributions similar to Reggie Bush and Kevin Faulk. While neither one of those players are built to carry the load of an every down back, there is no doubting the mismatches they create coming out of the back field. Slaton's ability to handle the ball on a draw or catch a pass in the flat should give the Texans intriguing options on third and six (3rd & 6). Below is a montage of Slaton's standout plays at West Virginia. Pay particular attention to his ability to make the initial ...
Bush Post
DGDB&D: a Texans blog. —
... OK, first things first, the article already gives Bush too much credit: he has only averaged 3.7/carry over his career, not the 3.8 the author generously gives him. Second, being “not disappointed” after you get stopped for four yards isn’t really the best outlook a guy can have, especially when the rumor is that he is too soft to be a real running back. After all, Ron “Meringue” Dayne averaged 4.0/carry last year and I wouldn’t go so far as to say I was thrilled with the guy. ...

Bush Out 3-4 Weeks
The National Football Post » Hot News and Rumors —
... : CHARLOTTE, N.C. — New Orleans running back Reggie Bush is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Monday that is expected to sideline him three to four weeks , a Saints source told NFL Network’s Adam Schefter. The Saints believe Bush has injured the meniscus in his left knee in Sunday’s loss to Carolina. However, the Saints have a bye after their game in London against the Chargers, so Bush could wind up missing only one game, reports Schefter. But exactly how long Bush will be out, and how many games he will miss, will not be known until doctors perform Monday’s ...

He won’t throw for 5000 yards again, but he has more weapons at his disposal than he can throw to, and he will turn in another dominate fantasy performance. If your smart you’ll take Brees off the board with your first pick.

That year, they led the league with 411.2 yards per game. The 2009 Saints have Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas and Jeremy Shockey. It’s no wonder they lead the ...
