Reggie Bush Appreciation Thread

I say support the guy. He is a Saint. He does things for this team that doesn't even get notice. His pass protection has improved.. (Yes he got blown up one play today.. but who didn't on our team?).. He had an excellent block on Wilson that allowed Brees to hit Colston for a TD later in the game. He puts in extra time at practice.. just like this past week he helped the defense prepare for the Wild Cat. He has donated and done charity for the city/state from day one since becoming a Saint.

This dude is held under the biggest microscope ever. Nothing he can do is ever right for his haters. He is a team player, he doesn't get into trouble off the field, Payton is finding out how to utilize his talents. bc the guy is still an asset to this team and we can be very successful with him. He's picked up numerous third downs this season receiving the ball. I still say he has a great second half. He is constantly dissed by his own fan base and he knows it.. he is busting his arse. Support him. He is a Saint. He has always rose to the occasion after dealing with adversity. Just like the game today.. Payton chewed him out.. and he still went out there and gave a tremendous effort on that touchdown and the pass blocking play that allowed the Colston td.

People just come to accept Reggie.. and be glad we have 2 power backs to compliment him. This is why I can't understand why everyone bitches about him. Get over where he was drafted.. it's in the past and really there are far worse bust out of that first round than Reggie. I PROMISE YOU. Be glad we got Brees and aren't stuck with Vince or Leneirt.. and can afford to have Reggie as a luxury.. Don't worry about his salary.. You don't pay it.. His contract can be addressed in the future. If he needs to take a paycut or let go then so be it.. Reggie was instrumental to the 2006 season's success. As a rookie nonetheless. He and Colston lead the team in receiving I believe. He also came up HUGE when it mattered most. In the playoff game against the Eagles he got absolutely blown up by Sheldon Brown.. Nothing he could do about it.. On that very same possession Bush came back in the game and scored a critical touch down. Yet everyone questions his toughness. He earned a lot of respect from me for that. Then in the Chicago game he was a game breaker taking that quick pass from Brees to the house for like a 90+ TD.. The dude has delivered in the postseason and will again if given the chance.

This team doesn't need any superstars. It's all about finding out how to spread the ball and utilize everyones talents to our benefit. This is why I love this team so much. You got

Moore small but quick, tremendous route runner and possibly best hands on the team

Colston Big target, tremendous pass catcher
Shockey Big Athletic TE who plays with intensity *I remember a lot of people hated this trade and it looked bad last season
Henderson Speedster, Down field weapon. * I was so happy when we re-signed him. Again I remember lots of fans were against it because of his drops.*
Meachem Good size, another deep threat, good hops and spectacular catching ability. * Another guy who most fans hated on *

Bell Straight up bruiser back
Thomas Versatile power back

Reggie Bush Most versatile back who can line up in the slot. Great with the ball in space.

Heath Evans Versatile Full Block. Blocks well and can pass catch.

No one guy really needs to have tremendous stats outside of Brees.. and even he doesn't have to. I love this team and ever single player on it. Seems like we are building something special here and being a Saint is almost an honor. As corny as that sounds. I'm proud of this squad. There is a clear difference in not supporting a guy like an Aaron Brooks who clearly had moments of not caring and would often fold in adversity.. Moments of interceptions. Reggie has only fumbled once this season and only 2x's rushing last season. Dude humbles himself for the success of the team. He no longer trains out in LA in the offseason. Remember that free flo do crap? lol. He spends his offseason workouts with the Saints.
