Punt return team could use a boost. A North and South returner maybe what the doctor ordered. East and West is killing field position. Time too give Harper a few touches.
Teams are shaking in there cleats with a 2 yard return average. Why kick away from him?
Ahhhh, the yearly "why don't we replace Bush as punt returner" chants.
Of course all will be forgotten when he's returned 3-4 for TD's at the end of the season and he's averaging over 10 a return.
So he could be a reserve WR in case of injury? We needed 5 WR's and he won the last spot.
If Harper returns kicks, he has to be activated, and won't contribute as a receiver.
I wonder who do you want to keep inactive in order to get Harper playing. I am curious.
I wont forget it. I would rather have a guy back there who doesn't make me pull my hair out 8 times out of 10 and 1 times out of 10 get a big return. I'll take the guy who gets me positive yards, no fumbeled punt returns and maybe only 1 or 2 returns for TDs instead of 3 or 4. Those possible two extra TDs in one or two games dont make up for the countless games his returns lead to nothing, negative gains or worse. And the Saints team as a whole are hurt by those screw ups and they pretty much negate the good. And this season he has done no good to make up for it.
You never know what your going to get with Reggie and TBH, its been heavily stacked to the negative side this season, I'll take the guy with a little less flash and breakout capacity but who will consistently make positive yards and not make boneheaded decisions.
Any other person not name Reggie Bush would have been pulled after week 2.
Thats just not true. Hes had several punts with plenty field in front of him and room to go. But has hesitated, stuttered stepped and gone back to that crap he did his rookie year where he rather run in circles and go sideways then just turning on the jets and going forward.The reason that he has such a low average is that they are kicking away from him...

Yeah but remember that last year he started out doing the same stuff people were pulling there hair out from the year before. Stutering, running sideways, running backwards etc. Then came the Minny game and he had been talking before how he needed to drop the stuttering and sideways crap and low and behold he had that amazing game.It's been 3 games. Bush averaged 13.5 a return last year (elite) and returned 4 for TD's (elite).
Any person who did that last year would not of been pulled after week 2, especially for someone who's never even been active on a Sunday.
