this is the thread where we talk about how bush was a joke and cant take nfl hits...this will be bttt'd this season

5/1/2006 6:06:46 PM

do the texans play the saints this year?

it'd be awesome to see mario lay bush out

5/1/2006 6:09:53 PM

i cant remember a draft this awsome

5/1/2006 6:12:04 PM

Young will flop harder

especially in Norm Chow's system

5/1/2006 6:12:23 PM

Bush will be a good NFL player.


Like Warrick Dunn but more agile.

5/1/2006 6:30:43 PM

its really too bad he's gonna have to split carries with mcallister. i think on the right team he could be a hall of famer

5/1/2006 6:33:03 PM

I called this before the draft.

Now MY TEAM is stuck with him.

smh karma

5/1/2006 7:04:24 PM

Deuce and Bush will split carries for the first part of the season.

Deuce will get hurt again in week 6-7.

Bush will announce the takeover.

5/1/2006 7:44:00 PM

Bush will proceed to average 3.7 ypc behind a porous o-line.

5/1/2006 8:19:17 PM

Bush is going to try and jump over a DB like he did in college, get up ended and then taken out by a linebacker or safety. Hopefully the panthers will do it

5/1/2006 10:47:26 PM

hopefully mario will do it

5/1/2006 11:10:50 PM

hahahaha, bush is gonna be just fine with my saints. i'm hoping they run the wishbone this year. that would be gangsta.

5/1/2006 11:17:03 PM

If by "fine" you mean last in the division then I agree with you.

5/1/2006 11:18:59 PM

how does one become a saints fan? Is it some curse, thrust upon them by unseen forces?

5/1/2006 11:19:05 PM

i'm now a texans fan
and i will also be rooting for the chargers this year

5/1/2006 11:20:32 PM

It's nice to root for pro teams because they have great players that went to your school.

Fire Herb.

5/1/2006 11:34:18 PM

He won't flop. He just will fail to meet the unprecedented standards that people have set for him.

there is no way in hell bush will get more than 600 yds next season....even if he starts every game. bush was best in college when he could make it into the secondary and had some room to make some moves, there is no way he is gonna be making it to the secondary that often with the saints O-line.

5/1/2006 11:43:52 PM

bush is gonna get ruined, hopefully by mario at some point.

5/1/2006 11:46:24 PM

YOU WANNA WIN, PUT BOOBIE IN!

5/1/2006 11:47:37 PM

That shit was funny, good movie btw.

5/1/2006 11:49:29 PM

listen...i started this thread because i think bush will get fucked up...but i also acknowledge the fact that he might be a very very good RB...hell maybe ladainian tomlinson or shaun alexander type status...or better...HOWEVER...his nfl career might also be like the usc texas national championship game...where the defense cuts off the outsides and his speed lanes and he is too small to run over real defenders...the thing about bush is, he's so fast, he hasnt really taken any good licks recently...a couple ray lewis or julius peppers tackles...he might have some second thoughts about bullshitting with that agent about his parents house

5/2/2006 2:25:27 AM

bush really isn't that small - he's 5'11", 200 lbs. same size as tiki barber and brian westbrook, 20 lbs heavier than warrick dunn. granted he's no jerome bettis, but he's no dave meggett either. plus, the saints will probably play him often as a slot receiver to get him into the open field. i'll be surprised if he doesn't get at least 1000 total yards next year, even if he's splitting time with deuce.

of course, knowing the saints luck, he'll get hurt head-butting the goal post and end his career in week 2.

5/2/2006 3:29:27 AM

5/2/2006 9:07:33 AM

i got no hate for the kid, i hope he does well.

ill just focus on wanting mario, manny and crew to do well.

5/2/2006 9:10:42 AM

You guys are so irrational.

Is the Saints line REALLY that bad?

Deuce McAllister has put up big numbers his whole career.

Antowain Smith (!!!!) put up reasonable numbers last year.


600 yards? Are you fucking kidding me? He will get almost 600 yards in his two games vs the Falcons for gods sake.

5/2/2006 11:07:42 AM

damn, saints dont play houston. but the saints open their pre-season schedule with tulloch and the titans. here's to tulloch layin bush out.

5/2/2006 11:13:08 AM

You people are crazy to think that Bush will flop. I think it is good for him to split carries. A NFL team is no longer One RB system. Hit Duece for hard bangin yards, and Bush with misdirection finese, and agility. C'mon....they can split him out he can actually catch and run...Ok, the Saints are not a great team, but Brees if healthy made a great past 2 years tossing short passes out the backfield to a fast, small, wuick RB...

No I am not saying Bush will be LT, but he has the closest potential...some serious haterz in here. I am all about Mario rippin some teams heads off, and Young will be ok-even though they took his mentor away (that was below the belt) but he will still pan out to be a good solid QB...QB's usually need a couple years to grasp NFL anyway...so judgment be made later...we are all still waiting to see our QB actually be effective (Rivers)

Its good you clarified it was Rivers cause we wouldn't have known who you were talking about.

5/2/2006 1:55:21 PM

has reggie bush ever taken a hit from an nfl player in an nfl game? no he hasnt, so nobody knows yet what he will do

i know he didnt do shit against texas though in the NC game

5/2/2006 2:12:05 PM

^funny how i get bashed for sayin the same shit

5/2/2006 2:20:21 PM

youre really making the NFL sound like Blitz on every play

tons of RBs very rarely take hits

i cant remember the last time Tiki got wacked

5/2/2006 2:21:13 PM

^^^ thats because he was on the bench, He hardly played after that dumb ass lateral move. But if you think back to that play he had gained a shit ton of yards

5/2/2006 2:23:18 PM

no i think back to the game and saw that lendale white was the best running back in that particular game...easily

5/2/2006 3:41:16 PM

lendale white is a fat ass

5/2/2006 3:43:24 PM

3 touchdowns

if vince young hadnt scored the game winner and USC would've won, Lendale would've been MVP and wouldve been a top 10 draft pick

5/2/2006 3:44:28 PM

bush will have alot of TOTAL yards b/c hes gonna be a returner, receiver and runner.....but he wont have all-star #'s at any position

i could be completely wrong about my bush flop prediction and i'll be glad to take any "haha you were wrong omg pwnt"s if i am...but for some reason...i dunno...i know i HOPE he doesnt do well since he's in the NFC South

We lost Wayne Gandy and LeCharles Bentley this offseason, and we've essentially replaced them with a beanstalk and a pair of Teva Sandals

Not to mention that our line sucked last year as well - Antowain Smith started 7 games last year out of all 16, and averaged 40 yds/game

Consider that Stecker was even less productive and there



whoever asked about being a Saints fan... I was born in New Orleans. With no other pro teams in the city you tend to be a fan... not to mention being really young and impressionable during the glory years (1986-~93)

5/3/2006 3:09:16 AM

they're supposed to be in the 'Dome for their 1st home game?

5/3/2006 9:42:50 AM

losing bentley is going to really hurt. i mean, the guy's name is lecharles - i can't think of a better name for a saints football player.

if he can turn them around longterm, he's even better than they say on ESPNUSC

5/3/2006 12:29:55 PM

This is just me thinking outside the box......

What if the Saints don't use Reggie Bush for the sole purpose of a running back. Why not have Deuce and Reggie on the field at the same time. Split one out. Line one up at the third wide out....

Just a thought

Makes more sense with two athletes as good as they are.
