Does anyone else feel that Reggie Bush's best position in the NFL is not at running back, but at wide receiver? I really see him as a better-handed, harder-to-catch version of Wes Welker. He would get hit fewer times by guys twice his size, be available for kickoff and punt return duties, and command a smaller salary as a wideout. Defenses know to key in on him when he is in the backfield and he essentially has to look at all 11 guys in his way. I think he proved last year that his vision is not up to the NFL level. As a wideout, specifically a slot guy, he would only have to concern himself with mainly LB's and safteys and the other team's nickel corner (over whom he has huge skill advantages). There actually are some really good parallels between the Saint's offense and the Patriot's. Pass first, run second, protect the QB, big tall wideout on one side, speed guy on the other, accurate QB, etc. I personally was pleased with the running game the Saints displayed late in the year with RB's who would hit the hole instead of "chasing ghosts." We all saw Reggie try to juke someone who was not there before hitting the line of scrimmage only to be tackled for a short gain (or loss). Steck and Pierre both hit the hole with authority the final games of the year, and ripped off quite a few 8+ yard gains. Just want to see if I am in the minority or if anyone has already thought of this one.
