Bush's career rushing average.

How many attempts does he have compared to the first four games of each year?

I don't know if Reggie is "getting it" or "getting better" but,IMO, it is Payton's selective play calling for him that has him at an increased YPC.

Through the first 4 games:

2006 45 carries
2007 50 carries
2008 52 carries
2009 36 carries

His workload has been reduced and that's understandable with the way Pierre and Bell have played. But I like that he is being more efficient. Honestly, I think Payton was going to try to pound the ball with Reggie on that series that he fumbled on. He had a few nice runs up to that point. They showed the replay of his next run after the fumble and he had both arms around the ball. He is not accustomed to running in traffic like that. He will learn, just like Tiki learned.
