What role will Reggie Bush play?

Okay, so tomorrow's the season opener for the Saints, and the first meaningful NFL game for rookie Reggie Bush. So how will he be used? According to what I've been reading, that's weighing heavily on the minds of the Browns defense and coach Romeo Crennell. Will he be used more as a runner or a receiver? Will he return kicks? Which situations and formations will he work out of? That's a tremendous asset to have on your football team, a guy who can get in the head of your opponents before you even step onto the field. Makes me think the Saints have this game half-won before kickoff. What do you think?

Since I drafted the little guy, he better get on that wing an haul in a few passes that he can break open...I'd be happy with 40 yards on the ground, 60 by receiving...TD's as bonus...but another highlight reel 40 yard break away will be welcomed...I need to get his trade value up.

Re: What role will Reggie Bush play?

i have no idea about special teams

as for offense, 1st remember the Saints have an awful O-line and i dont think either back will have a record year rushing

mostly i think Bush may be used like Faulk with the Patriots, receiving alot and a 3rd down back hoping to break a big one

i dont think he will be used most of the time at the goal line, i just dont think he is much of a power runner, he is more about cuts and quickness for the open field

i wouldnt be surprised if he has a few 100 yard games, but i think they will come on a few break away runs not like 25 carries for 4 yards.....rather 4 carries for 25 yards
