Let’s get this out of the way: Reggie Bush is nothing more than a glorified punt returner. And don’t get me wrong, he’s a fine, fine return man. But that’s about where it ends. He’s not a running back. He’s not a wide receiver. Yet -- when he’s actually healthy -- the Saints insist on trying to make him some combination of both of those positions and it’s to the team’s detriment.
It’s easy to understand why they try to gameplan to Bush’s strength, which is getting himself one-on-one (or even one-on-two) with defenders in the open field. After all, they did waste a No. 2 overall pick on the guy. But the Saints are a better team when Reggie isn’t participating.
New Orleans’ record with Bush this season: 3-4; without him: 3-1.
There's a reason why the HTexans passed on him. trade joe morris II while they can get good value for him and put together a real superbowl team.
