2.8 yards per carry this year, 3.6 yards per carry last year. His 4.4 yards per reception is also very poor.

It will be interesting to see if McAllister's injury will cause Bush to finally step up or if he'll continue to wallow in all hype and no substance.

He's too small and easy to tackle. He needs to watch tape on Barry Sanders. I don't think he has half the strength of BS.

In reality Reggie Bush is a hybrid WR/Scat back being asked to play RB. That's why it is not working.

I fully agree. He's a 3rd down back and kick returner.

Agreed. He's not an every down back. Also, his OL at USC was much better than his OL this year. Brees is struggling which isn't helping the run game. Look at other teams with prolific RBs who aren't doing jack because they can't pass or block like San Diego and Kansas City. Teams are just stacking the box and I don't care how good a running back you are you're not going to get more than 3-4 YPC with 8-9 guys in the box.
