Good news for saints game re: reggie bush

he got put on IR

The New Orleans Saints have placed Reggie Bush on the injured reserve list, ending his season with two games to play.

To fill the space on the roster, the Saints signed cornerback Michael Lehan, who had been with the Miami Dolphins.

In five games this season, Lehan had 11 tackles and no interceptions.

Bush injured his left knee against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 19, and had arthroscopic surgery the next day to repair a torn meniscus. He missed four games for rehabilitation.

Good news?

Get help dude.

Get off your high horse.

He means good news we don't have to play him, not that he is injured.

I wonder if Brees will play, it will be a pointless game and Brees already knows what can happen in those games (when he was with the Chargers).

I don't risk my probowl QB for the sake of nothing, against a good defense none the less.

Actually, I don't see it as good news. Every rushing attempt that Reggie Bush can take away from a competent running back is a plus IMO. These guys usually take sadistic delight in trying to knock us out of the playoffs. If they have a chance at that, it'll be a tough game. Our luck? Deuce gets healed up just enough to have a "statement" game before he retires.

We will win on Sunday. If we don't, and we still can't beat the Saints, then maybe we don't deserve the division. I don't doubt that TB, ATL, and DAL will lose at least one of their 6 remaining games, putting us in the playoffs, regardless, but I would like to think a Super Bowl team goes at least .500 on the road. And of course I would rather play the Saints without Bush than with.

Considering that neither Tampa nor Atlanta was able to beat the Saints in New Orleans, I certainly wouldn't feel any shame in claiming the division crown even if we lost to the Saints.

    • At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.
    • I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.
    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
