Q: Reggie Bush seems like he's an average running back but would be a Pro Bowl wide receiver. Do the Saints have plans to use him at wide receiver? Kelvin, Shreveport La.
Bush to wide receiver, it's simply not that easy. Bush might look good as a receiver out of the backfield but that's partly because he's working against safeties and linebackers in coverage. If he moved to wide receiver he'd be facing cornerbacks, who are much more difficult to beat in coverage. It's a whole new world out there than in the backfield or slot working against safeties. Plus, while Bush has good hands for a running back, his hands would only be considered average as a receiver. Most important, would see even fewer touches than he does now. You'd be taking the ball out of the hands of your most explosive offensive weapon about five to 10 times a game. That doesn't make sense.

That was a perfect answer! Any question?
