What happens to Reggie when Mike Bell returns?

when theyre bringing 6 or 7 guys, you have to keep as many as u can into block. Thats a huge responsibility of a third down RB even if its bush.

I know. But it would help to keep the pressure off Brees if we start getting Reggie the ball in the flats on designed swing plays. On those plays, you kinda want to funnel the pressure into the middle of the offense so Reggie can have space when Drew throws him the ball in the flats.

I agree. He should get more touches in the open field as a reciever. I think he'll get those opportunities when the situation calls for it.

benn looking for the site but reggie did restructure his contract in june he is only makinf like 4.5 towards cap this yr and 7 next yr but we can drop him at any point after june 1 or somthing like that next yr with no penaltys so he does notice and is trying to help the team with cap room found the sight http://profootball.scout.com/2/777697.html

Why don't we just motion him out wide instead?

You know, because he takes 3, sometimes 4 defenders with him?


...oh wait

When he stops making stupid decisions on punts and following that up by fumbling the ball in his own territory and permitting the opponent to score a touchdown and get back in the game.

We saw Buddy Ryan's son yesterday, Rex, as the Jets Head Coach. Buddy Ryan was once so fed up with a player in Philadelphia (it was RB Ernest Jackson), he went into his General Manager's office and demanded that he be traded immediately because of continued bone-headed mistakes. He was quoted as saying, "Trade him for a 6-pack, and it doesn't even have to be a cold one."

Any objective, knowledgeable professional football observer can see that #25 is making the same mistakes over and over and over ... and I'm just talking about this season, 2009! Fumbles, running sideways or backwards on punt returns, and, worse yet, letting punts bounce for 15-20 yards instead of fielding with a fair catch. How many drives have started with bad field position because of his lack of judgment on when to fair catch or let a punt bounce. Lance Moore went in for a punt return yesterday ... he was smart enough to let the ball bounce ... it went into the endzone. The Saints started at the 20, not the bloody 4-yard line!

I want players with a high football I.Q. When players continue to make the same mistakes, it's incredibly frustrating. I think Payton has just about had it as well. He had something to say yesterday to Reggie (after his fumble and the Jets TD), and it wasn't very complimentary.

Enough about #25. The team is 4-0 and everybody enjoy it! As fans, we have a lot to be thankful for so far in 2009.

its not worth the trouble trying to say how bad bush is getting, he didnt get benched in sundays game because of the fumble he got benched because he let that punt go on the sidelines in the 3rd or early 4th quarter. he never returned to the game after he let that punt roll down to the twenty. maybe payton sees whats happening with him. at least last year and the year before he could return punts now he will not even catch them. i do not like him, never have, to much money for a scat back, but i do wish he scores every time he gets the ball because i do like the saints.
thank god bell will be back agianst the giants

Its funny how people interpret things...they see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear...

I can't stress it enough : Bush breaks his leg tomorrow Pierre Thomas is the new Reggie Bush and his name doesn't get mentioned again for the whole year except "why the fk did we sign him long term?" or "we could have saved 50 million if we didn't sign this bum".

I guarantee that screen play where Thomas almost scored opened Payton's eyes. He doesn't even NEED Reggie. He can be a glorified punt returner (until he gets injured) then sit on the bench the rest of the game. I love the quote that I read here the other day "...and Reggie is now over 4 ypc" ~ It took him 1/4 of the season to get over 4 yards per carry.....pathetic. If Reggie couldn't catch the ball out of the backfield he would NEVER see the field, NEVER.

Pierre Thomas has over a 5.0 YPC in the last 150+ carries.

You better be worried. He isn't touching the ball much that game. Remember Thomas after a month saw 1 play his first game back. In addition Bell has very little stamina, he will be lucky to carry the ball 5-7 times.

It will be the Thomas show. 16-22 carries and 125 yards.

bottom line
1. Bush gets paid to much for his production
2. Turnovers lose games and turnovers is the one thing reggie had been consistant at
3. We could use the cap space bush takes up to resign shaper among others, next season
4. There is always another "Bush" we could pick up in the draft
5. He does have some good plays but they are vastly overshadowed by his bad ones
