Thanks for your support!

I wanted to say THANKS!!!!

I had to stop by and say THANK YOU!

We are still stunned that yall passed up on Bush for Mario Williams, but we are so very appreciative.

We certainly hope it works out for you guys. But I can't believe I just watched Kyle Turley man-handle your boy Mario. He was pan-caking the guy for goodness sakes. I wonder what Mario will do against someone who has actually played in the past two years? Yikes...

I see yall are already calling conspiracy againt ESPN and everybody else, but it is just the truth. There is nothing Mario Williams will ever do that will make anyone understand what in the heck Casserly was thinking when he passed on Bush.

It's too bad for the fans. I mean the guy bails on you after he makes the pick. That's pretty low.

Well anyway, we just wanted to say thanks. We are really enjoying having Reggie on our team. He's looking great!

Sincerly,
Saints Fans

Please cite the play(s) - game clock time and quarter - where you saw Turley "pancake" Mario. I'm re-watching my DVR recording of the game right now - wearing out my remote as I >> and << so this will help me see what you saw.

How many touchdowns did Bush get? Better yet, how many touchdowns did the Saints get as a result of Bush?

I believe he is talking about the ONE play where Mario came in too high and Turley shruged him down to his knees. Then he tried to recover and Turley hit him before he could regain his balance.

You're welcome.

It's preseason so there isn't anything to go on but...I still say we should have gotten Bush. I'm SO glad we didn't get Young.

But I don't think the Titans will make the same mistake with Young that the Falcons have made with Vick.

How many tackles did Mario have? Oh yeah, he had 1/2 of one. That's a start. That's something to build on guys.

I'm watching the game again, right now, and the only play where I can clearly see Mario, he goes around T. Gonzalez and the RT easily. I also don't remember any runs to Mario's side.

We're going to see these threads all the time throughout the season.
 
Oh, and I did see Bush get straightened up and dropped by a defensive back! I don't think Bush will play the whole season. He is going to dance his way right into a torn acl or mcl or both. Maybe a concussion. or two

Just go watch ESPN, they highlight it quick nicely.
I saw the one where Mario slipped to his hands and knees (and maybe Turley helped him), but it was no pancake. Being a Saints fan maybe you won't see one for a while (since your two best linemen are playing for someone else this year) but is when a linemen knocks the defender on his butt, not even the defender falls foward.


PS- congrats on Bush, he will should be a great player for the LA Saints in a few years.

Bush is going to be a Warrick Dunn/Tiki Barber type back. He is going to pile on a bunch of yards, but not score touchdowns.

What? I'm just saying Thank You.

We couldn't be happier.


maybe we can give reggie bush another preseason heisman trophy? wait no...that should go to wali lundy...he had a touchdown on top of the same stats as reggie bush.

We'll see, I hope he's more durable than Deuce has been. I certainly wouldn't wish injuries on anyone. I hope Mario plays all season. He may turn out to be a very good NFL DE. We'll see.

It never happened, out of a 1 to 10 I would give him a 7.

He was always in the spot he should have been in while the play was going on, force the ball back towards Demeco and company, thats what he did.

(media and some people)Dont grade this guy on stats, after one little preseason game, lets see what he does in a full meaningfull game 1st.

Yeah, let's compare Bush's best highlight with Mario's worst - then stick out our tongues and say nanny nanny boo boo - after one-half on the first preseason game. Some of these Saints trolls are in stiff competition with the Jags trolls for their tendency to feed on carrion.

I was about to say - for the stats lovers, compare an unknown six round draft pick's performance with the second player selected overall. I'll take Lundy's performance last night over highlight boy any time.

The Mario over Bush debate has been going on for months on this message board. Please search those threads to answer your question.

People who don't know **** about football will only look at stats. It's quite hilarious and simple to sort out the simpletons from those who know what they are talking about.

Please educate yourself before continuing to post here. Otherwise you're wasting our time and hard drive space and making yourself look stupid.

Who was responsible for the pick? I remember Casserly saying it was his decision. I don't know what happened behind the scenes though. Educate me....I'm listening.

No I didn't agree and I'm glad he's not the GM anymore. Should have been fired more than a year ago. I still can't believe he was allowed to pick THIS year.

What I don't get is where do these trolls get the energy for this crap.

Why don't you read up on your own team, get more educated, learn more about the scheme and assignments, spend your energy on something positive. Instead of coming on to the Texans board and fishing for an argument......besides Mario was the better pick and yes a lot of fans here agree with it.

Next. Move on.

If you are really so happy with the Reggie Bush pick for the Saints.....go live in bliss.

LMAO!
While you are sitting there, tell me how many times your miracle player found the endzone? May want to send that kid out with a compass next game.

Reading around the 'net today has been funny. RB has alot of the headlines, we are getting knocked for Mario being not much of a contributor in the first game of the year, and no one wants to commend Lundy for his awesome first ever pro game. Thats OK, we are used to not being media darlings.
 
Guy I'm just having a little fun. Yes, I will go back to my Saints board and yall will never see me outside this thread. I promise.

I do wish yall a good season.

I did seriously want to know what's the story on the Casserly pick, but it sounds like that is a dead horse that has been beat to hell around here. So, I'll leave it alone.....unless someone wants to tell me.

Kubiak made the pick not Casserly. Casserly basically lost all of his power in December when McNair brought in Reeves to evaluate the roster and the organization.

Wow. That's a pretty risky move for a 1st year coach coming into a new organization.

Did Reeves have input on the pick? What was his opinion?

No, I had already made those posts, before I started this thread. Honestly.

I'm true to my word, I won't post outside of this thread.
 
To all you guys comparing Lundy to Bush based on this game is just plain stupidity...

Bush will be a featured back, Lundy will be a fill in at best...

Ya'll kept saying Bush will do nothing in the NFL cause it has much better and faster players than he was used to seeing, well Bushs 44 yard run looked an awful lot like what he did in college...

He made ESPN's top 10 plays of the day, (#5)

They did mention Mario, they said he had "trouble on the field"...

And don't complain about us TEXAN fans that are angry about the pick and think it was the stupidest move management could have made...

ya'll say Lundy did this, Lundy did that, imagine what Reggie would have done with those holes...

Yeah I am angry, yes I am going to complain everytime Bush puts up numbers and Mario is anything but Super, it is my right as a TEXANS fan to complain when management makes a monumental blunder with a freaking #1 pick...

And I am not a Saints troll, I was at the game, field level, section 107 row AA...

I could not care less about the Saints except that they have the RB that I should be rooting for every week...

Mario Williams: 1 assist
Reggie Bush: 6-59-0 2-10-0

See ya after the next game with updates...

+1. Bush could have at least run us out of trouble at times.
 
My point is that if I was a Texans fan, I would be livid at management(now that I know that it wasn't Casserly's decision). I was honestly wanting to know how Texans fans felt about it, and if they were livid or if they were supporting the pick.
