    I don't know....u said the same thing about Bush when he was at USC. :lol:

    But I know what u mean. This kid could have 30-40 returns before he's done. AMAZING player.

    Speaking of Bush, this is the kinda player I thought we would be getting (having Hester's ability to change games with returns). Unfortunately, Bush may never be anywhere close to that.

    not until the Saints scrap him as a RB and use him as a WR.

    I agree with you on this.

    His ability to run inside just isn't going to work.

    I say you use him on end arounds and reverses 2-3 times per game out of the WR slot. But otherwise send him out on deeper patterns please. What happen to the wheel route we ran on Chicago in the playoffs? Have we even run that play since then?

    The guy has speed to burn and has great hands, let's utilize his abilities.

    Most returns for TD in NFL history

    Brian Mitchell = 13, 223 games
    Dante Hall = 12, 104 games
    Eric Metcalf = 12, 179 games
    Devin Hester = 10, 27 games

    He is on pace for over 60 returns for TDs in his career.
