Scooter said:what do bush & mario have in common this week? they both ended up putting the football on the ground 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
aj. said:I just heard Theismann say "you can see how special Reggie Bush is."
So I just checked his stats and he has 4 carries for 7 yards.
And there you have it from ESPN25

Runningbacks: The Saints' first play from scrimmage was out of the I formation with Karney in front of Deuce McAllister. Deuce carried for three and five yards before Reggie Bush came in on third and short but lost three yards in a sweep. On that play, the Saints stacked tight ends Ernie Conwell and Mark Campbell to the left and ran towards them. But Campbell and Jammal Brown both went after the same perimeter defender and Bush was swarmed over for a loss... Deuce played only the first quarter, and finished with a catch, a drop and two carries. Bush was bottled but for the most part, but late in the first half showed some of his moves a swing pass and screen. Late in the second quarter, Terrance Newman and Bradie James had Bush dead to rights at the line off right tackle. But Bush burst forward between them and dove forward for a nine-yard gain... Later, Bush would let himself get strung out for a loss on a toss left. He must learn to make the move upfield and resist the temptation to spring to the sideline in the NFL... Bush finished with four carries for seven yards and two catches for 14 yards... With Stecker on the bench, RB Jamaal Branch picked up where he left off in Tennessee with inspired running. Keith Joseph and even Fred McAfee got into the mix in the second half. In fact, McAfee led the team with three receptions. McAfee, 38, was absorbing some good hits from guys 15 years younger. Still, McAfee showed a spin move here, some nifty receptions on slightly errant Bouman throws... Branch took run off left tackle away from pursuit down the left sideline, showing some Bush-like acceleration. Would have liked to have seen a Bush-like finish as well, but Branch escorted himself out of bounds. What has Jamaal Branch proved to anyone that he can take it easy after a decent run? Later, he fumbled on the one yard line after diving to set up first and goal, further building the barrier between him and a final roster... Later Branch would score by muscling through Al Singleton at the goal line, the Saints' only points of the night. Both Billy Miller and Keith Joseph had good blocks on the play...

It's a PRESEASON game and he's a ROOKIE.

Porky said:Ditto for me. I was more upset about Tony Kornheiser. That guy is terrible as an analyst.
HJam72 said:I bet Capers would've taken Bush.
PowerfulDragon said:just because i'm a texan fan, it doesn't mean that i'm not looking forward to see what Reggie Bush can do. if he busts one for 80 yards against any team other than the texans, i'll be cheering.
gtexan02 said:Guess why people watched the game last night (including many of you, it seems)? To watch Reggie Bush.

The man had 4 carries for 7 yards and ESPN talking heads made it seem like he was the second coming. I know that he did not play all that much but give me a break. There were more people that did more than him and they did not get an interview after the game. Not sure if I can take Monday night football on ESPN. I guess that I could watch the games with the sound off.
GuerillaBlack said:I thought about this a bit, and I feel that Reggie is dogged on because the hyped him to beyon belief. MW wasn't hyped by ESPN. Actually at the draft some of the New Yawkers were calling him overrated. So, since Reggie was hyped, then has a bad performaance, we make fun of him .
gtexan02 said:I'm sorry, but who cares? If you don't like ESPN, don't watch it. Its a pretty simple solution to this supposedly huge problem.
You may not like it, but ESPN is a business. You heard it on tv last night -- Reggie Bush's jersey is the #1 seller. Guess why people watched the game last night (including many of you, it seems)? To watch Reggie Bush. He's a hard working, likeable, talented athlete that produced exciting plays in college and has the potential to do so in the NFL as well. ESPN needs marketable names in order to suceed as a company first and foremost, and thats what Reggie Bush offers them.
thunderkyss said:trust me when I say I am not a Reggie fan..... but you saw the game didn't you?? You saw Reggie's speed, his burst, his cut, his vision?? Do you think that Dallas' D could have kept him quite for 4 quarters?? I love the 'boys almost as much as I love the Texans...... but I think he'd have gotten away for a big one sooner or later. But then again so would have Duece........ the Duece is loose..... so I wonder if the Saints really gained anything.
ESPN is just getting ready for it.

Titan "Tack" Fan said:I watched the MNF game last night mainly because of Reggie Bush, just like the rest of America who aren't Saints/Cowboys fans.
He won the Heisman. He average 10 yds a touch in college and we all want to see if he can do it in the pros. He's the new face of the NFL.
Get over it.

Vince is the new face of the NFL.

HJam72 said:You would think they would just show the most exciting plays, instead of mediocre ones by certain players. I understand why they don't show too many sacks or, obviously, a good blocking line, but I really think most people would rather watch Morency break a long one than see RB get a whole 8 or 9 yds, only to be blasted from behind (you can't stop in the NFL).
