As a big fan of both teams, I have to point out that this is not a good thing. We've tried to make excuses for Bush for a few years now, using the "decoy" status; and now it goes to Shep too. Both guys were supposed to set the world on fire, and neither is living up to the billing.
Give me a consistent performer instead, thanks.
Dude, Bush is a weapon for the Saints. The big problem with him is that he's being paid as a number one back, which he will never be. Reggie Bush has basically been exactly what a lot of people expected as pro.

I wonder if ppl hating on RS in this thread are the same ppl that want to fire our basketball coach?
I think Johnson earned a boot in the arse and a pink slip on a billboard next to I-10, but that has nothing at all to do with Shep.

Love Shep but Guilbeau is right

Don't know if it's been said already or not, but what receiver has had a big impact in the past three years? None. Lafell had a mediocre senior season, Tolliver didn't produce as much as was expected, D. Byrd had a horrible senior season, and randle didn't exactly light the world on fire.
(pssst) Are they all really mediocre receivers or did they have something else in common?

quote:I call bullshite on this one. I expected the second coming of Tony Dorsett, or at the very least a 1000 yd back by now. Bush is no smaller than Dorsett (or for that matter Chris Johnson), and was the most dynamic athlete coming out in the last 20 years at least. The ONLY reason people hold their breath when he gets the ball is memories of college play. He's explosive, yes- but so is Devin Hester, and he was a late round pick.

We expected Shep to be, at the least, better than Skyler Green (who was also a qb in high school).

We expected him to be Pat White, but he got dicked over. It was well documented that he chose LSU over Texas because he would be given a legit chance to play QB. He was averaging 7+ yards a carry running the Wildcat/Read option before moving to WR.

Isn't it great to have at least on reporter covering LSU who is not a lapdog to Miles? This guy speaks his mind like the Advocate reporters used to do...now most of the lazy media in BR and NO just wait for the coach to slip them something as serve as free SID for LSU. Guilbeau took on Crowton and was not afraid to point out weaknesses in coaching and players. Wish we had more like him.

Hmmm, I must be sporadically watching a different Saints team than some of you guys. It might just be the 4 or so games I watch a year this happens in, but Reggie Bush should be the MVP for every team the Saints have played against except for the poor Cardinals when he decided to run straight up their proverbial A-holes. He's very creative in the different ways he finds to give the other team the ball, whether it's fumbling punt returns, or running toward the comfy confines of his own inzone. Other teams should be paying his salary IMO, b/c he's their weapon, not the Saints.
Please, for the love of f*ck, don't beg for RS to be anything like RB, save for his ability as spokesmen, for which I think Bush has done great.

with way too much inconsistency, how many timeouts did he cost the team?
The problem with Shep at QB was that it would have meant pretty significant differences in strategy, and the team had no backups who could have run the same offense if he had gotten hurt.
Maybe this will change some with Kragthorpe, but it's likely that Ware will get the 'wildcat with some threat to throw' looks. Frankly I would look at Shep as 1A at running back with a set of plays that take advantage of his speed.

Speaking ones mind doesn't equate to anything special or of note. We all speak our mind. That doesn't make any of us right bout anything.
Taking on or calling out RS as "He's just not that good of a player" leads me to ask, "where has this hack been the last two seasons?"
RS started play at QB in his 1st season till injuries at RB forced the staff to ask him to play RB. Then, last spring he's asked to play WR and responds with 33 catches, 2nd on the team, and 4th leading rusher and that earns him a "just not that good of a player" tag from Guibeau???
Lets just say he's a better player than Glen has proven to be a reporter to this point in time. imo
As to taking on GC, big freaking deal. Everyone did that including both the AD and HC and it was started over a year ago when both stated the 09 offensive performance wasn't acceptable at LSU.

He's got terrible hands and game awareness and he is easy to tackle
The problem with RS is the has been misused since day 1 of arriving on the LSU campus. Gary fricking Crowton, who wasted more talent at LSU than some other colleges have seen in a lifetime, is mostly responsible for this, and so is Les Miles for being complicit to the travesty.
Used properly as a misdirection runner out of the backfield and Wildcat formations and as a decoy, RS could be devastating as a weapon. Trindon Holliday wasn't big either, but when he got into open space he would gain 10 yards a clip. That's what the LSU offense has go to do for RS, find space for him to create and then make people miss. He doesn't have to run for a TD every time, just pick up first downs.

My single greatest problem with Shep is that he came in with the expectation that he would be able to perform like Randall Cobb, and instead, he's another Reggie Bush.
You're not a player if the only thing you bring to the table is the "threat" to make a play. From time to time, you actually have to do it. And that means more than 3-4 times a season.

I will take a wait and see approach with an OC that may have a better idea of how to use him than the previous one.

He was made out to be Percy Harvin and that was probably unfair to Shep.
Agreed. I wouldn't write him off just yet, but I would be happy if Shep had say 80% of Harvin's productivity over his last year or two at LSU.

they've done this, but these plays are only effective a couple of times a game. If guessed right, misdirection plays are extremely easy to stop. In addition, RS has had trouble making people miss, that's why the WR screen hasn't been that effective.
