Bush benefits greatly from the rest of the offense thats around him, there aren't many shifty RBs that wouldn't succeed playing next to Brees, Mcallister... kind of like the colts.
In their game vs. the ravens they got absolutely nothing going when Bush was in the game... later in the 2nd half Bush left w/ an ankle injury and Brees was lighting us up for a bit. I don't think NFL defenses are honestly sweating about having to facing reggie bush... probably more wary of being beat deep.

You're basing your comments about Bush on ONE game against a top 3 defense in the NFL. Not to mention it was before Bush stopped being a ***** running to the sidelines every play (which may have been a result of injuries having him worried about going up the middle.) Starting from the Pittsburg game, he started improving week after week. And even before that, teams were still very gameplanning the guy.
As for Benson, you've heard many bad things about him, but here are two brief stories that aren't big enough to be publicized:
1) At the Miami game last year in Baton Rouge (I believe the one where Benson said he was "threatened"), my roomate was sitting a few seats away from me with a "Benson, if you want a sellout, look in the mirror" sign. It actually was ALL over television that week, ESPN and HBO at least. Well a quasi-friend of ours that went to highschool with me had been working for the Saints that year (not sure of his exact position or what he did). Holding the aforementioned sign in the front row of a game that had about 30K fans in a stadium that holds 95K+, the friend working for the Saints came over to us. We were happy to see him for the first time in about two years. He greeted us, we shot the **** for about a minute, then he says (damn near word for word) "Guys, I'm really sorry, but someone upstairs says you have to ditch the sign or you'll be thrown out. Any other time I'd say keep the sign up, because I love it, but it would help me out in my future with the organization if you were to trash it." We did so.
2) Two weeks later, the aforementioned freind/Saint worker quit because he was losing money. Benson didn't help out ANY Saint employees that had to move with the team to San Antonio, and he was being paid so poorly that he just couldn't stay with them anymore.
Saints fans should have whipped batteries
