The problem with your stat sheet is it doesn't tell us how good their run blocking was. I doubt those guys, in their rookie system, ran behind a brand new coaching staff and brand new offensive line.

So he's on par for a Jim Taylor-like career? Or Tiki?
It's a nice problem to have. If this is our biggest issue then let me go to stub Hub and get a playoff ticket.
Apparently not:
Tiki Barber: 136 att, 511 yds, 3.8 YPC, 3 TDs
Jim Taylor: 52att, 247 yds 4.8YPC, 1TDs
Both had higher YPC, especially taylor. It's actually hard to find an excellent RB that didn't have a better first year rushing. To claim that every one these guys didn't deal with the "problems" Bush is dealing with is naive.
I think that if any of you watched the game today, you would know that Bush could have had about a maximum of 11 yards on those same 11 carries if he ran optimally. He never had an open lane.
I'd call this a non-issue given that Deuce's rushing numbers look much better. Why would the coaching staff matter? To a rookie, every coaching staff and system are new. That's really stretching things I'll tell ya.
The coaching staff is new as is most of the OLine so THAT would be the issue. It's not so much they are new to Reggie, but new period to each other.
Deuce is a PRO BOWL-CALIBUR RB! He isn't trash, so yeah he should have better numbers than a 21-year old rookie.
