I agree, he's not a Payton or a Sanders but if he can do a decent Sayers imitation he has a chance to be very effective with a Duece McAllister who can protect him by taking the tough carries that Lendale White took for him at USC and with a good QB beside him like Brees. I think they're going to be efficient throwing the ball and that should allow them to create mismatches between LBs and Bush in the flats. I believe they'll be inconsistent but I think they're going to be better than they were.
I thought it was before but there's no doubt that the NFC South is the NFL's best division now. When you've got to face Brees, Vick and Delhomme twice each season; Gruden's plan looks more and more sound to me. You'd better be able to run the ball and control the clock in this division.

Reggie is very good, BUT, he put up numbers against some of the weakest defenses in NCAA over the last two years. Let him run in the Big 12 or the SEC, and he'd have been very good, but NOT the same "superback" that he's become. He reminds me of Marshall Faulk, a guy who works great in the right system against the right D. Faulk was never super against us (very good, yes, but not super), and I don't think Bush will be either. If the 'Aints don't run an offense similar to St. Louis "Fastest Show on Turf" of years back, then Bush won't even be a top 5 back, IMO.
Brees worries me ALOT more than Bush.

Ok, we've been focused on the Bucs' picks this weekend but the news in the NFC South going into this season will be the born again New Orleans Saints. When the Texans shocked the football world by not taking the "next Gale Sayers" he became the Bucs' problem. The bottom line is the Saints played us tough last year without McAllister and a benched Aaron Brooks. Now, we're talking about Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Joe Horn and the return of Duece McAllister. Will there be a power shift in the NFC South?
We spent a lot of the early years of the franchise chasing Walter Payton in the old NFC Central and 10 years dealing with Barry Sanders. Will Reggie Bush be the next great Buccaneer nemesis?
