okay, let's get something straight here then...when you say "up the gut" do you mean inside the tackles? Cuz, if so, then we have a different perception of up the gut

Also, that's not what I was arguing. You said, that he could clearly run up the gut or in the middle and I showed you stats that show it was to the sides for the most part.

That we agree on.

I can't take your information as any ounce of fact...being that your getting your info from a Saints Fan Forum.

I'm actually getting my info from NFL.com

The play-by-play of each game. If you do not believe me, go check it out. It's all there.

Bush is not a bust yet. I put him on my bust list in the other thread, but he can still turn his career around. Soon he may have that breakout year.

His breakout year will come when he stops having all these minor injuries. If it wasn't for injuries last season, he would have came close to 3,000 yards and 20+ TD's. It's all about just staying healthy.

Bush better put up or his supporters better shut up.

Injuries or no injuries, the guy has to be this Reggie Bush that NO thought they were getting with the 2nd over all pick.

I hope you mean including receiving yards, because even with those two combined its hard to predict a running back getting 3k yards.

As for minor injuries, he's young it'll take time to get over. Its not something every player can just fight through, its takes time to learn how to push through the pain, which is what former running backs have said, it takes time.

Give the man another year or two.

The thing that hurts Reggie is that he is not a true RB and does not have a true position. When I'm talking yards, I mean all purpose. Sometimes from scrimmage if I say so.

The thing with the injuries is that except for the first one this season, he could have played through the other two. He played through the 07 injury for longer than a month. And could have played through the 2nd injury this season.
