Note: To all of you Bush Haters...

Considering the above average number of touchdowns the Saints offense scores compared to the rest of the league, this shouldn't come as a surprise. The point remains that Bush's opportunities are based upon the offenses success and not vice-versa. This is clearly demonstrated by our offense not skipping a beat whenever Bush misses a game with one of his varying injuries

Most teams don't have 5-6 guys competing for TDs like we do. It works both ways.

I don't see how length of the touchdown is relevant. If you're trying to convince me Reggie is explosive, I don't need convincing... clearly he is. What he lacks is decision making and toughness, which I'll take over explosiveness any day.

TD length matters because it's obviously much easier to score from inside the 5 than from the 30. If he doesn't get touches inside the 5, his TD numbers will be lower due to not getting the easier opportunities. That means his TDs are tougher to get. If he got goalline touches like most RBs, he'd have even more TDs.

Jerome Bettis led the Steelers in TDs in 2005, but he was basically nothing but a goalline back that year. Just having more TDs doesn't make a player better; it depends on how he gets them. Bush usually has to score from 10+ yards out.
