Saints sense a Bush boost

By BRETT MARTEL
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Reggie the role-player?

The New Orleans Saints aren't about to complain.

Two games into his young but heavily hyped NFL career, rookie Reggie Bush hasn't scored a touchdown. He hasn't even had a run or reception as long as 25 yards. His longest punt return was 14 yards.

But don't call him overrated. At 2-0, the rebuilding Saints already are only one victory shy of last season's total - and Bush's teammates and coaches consider him a big reason why.

Bush is doing just fine for a rookie. He's been a highlight on Sportscenter, and boosted ticket sales which has done nothing but help the Saints. I'd like a real Saints fan to tell me he's a disapointment.

I think he's great just for the fact that he's gone down there and embraced the people and their situation. He's a rookie 2 games into his career... any article like this is just meant to stir the pot.

IP that's why I decided to post it.

There are slow days in sports writing and this day must be one of them. I personally think Reggie will become a premiere NFL player in due time.
