Bush is Back but listen to this.

Head coach Sean Payton said after Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay that Thomas was the team's "most consistent" running back and the "best option on the first- and second-down snaps" during Sunday's contest, the Times-Picayune reports.

Honestly, Bush is best when he comes in as the change of pace back. McCallister made Bush seem more explosive. If they keep Thomas in, and use him as they did with McCallister and Bush a few years ago...this could really help the Saints offense, and also the defense.

Question is, will the Saints coaching staff pull their heads out of their collective rears and run the football?

As for consistency, how can any running back be consistent getting 1,3, or 5 carries a game?

How can a running game be consistent when you run the ball less than 20 times a game on a regular basis?

Since Pierre Thomas got the bulk of the carries, (11), lets take out the high and low and get an average. It comes to 2.x yards per carry. Consistent? Consistently bad.

You need a primary running back, one that is going to consistently get the bulk of the carries (bulk meaning more than half, and the team needs to be running the ball much more than 20 times per game). It is the only way a power running back can develop a rhythm, and the only way you are going to control the clock, and the only way that an offensive line can get in sync with their starting running back.

The overall stats look great, but this is the worst offense in the league in terms of winning a football game.

Ok, I went overboard with worst, but seriously, would you call what Detroit has an offense?

I've always thought that Pierre Thomas was the most talented RB on the Saints' roster. But its hard to not run, market, talk up etc. Reggie Bush considering he's getting paid a billion dollars and was drafted as the NFL's next Barry Sanders.

and became the next Blair Thomas

Still don't understand all that hype that was given to a part time college running back. Notice how the Saints play better when he is injured and on the sideline? 3-5 with Bush, 3-1 without. Coincidence?

Well with Deuce supended for 4 games Thomas should continue to be helpful to fantasy owners.

Ya.. he is.. his running back is just phenomenal and he's absolutely much much better for the first rather than the second.....

What does that even mean?

I'm becoming a huge Charles fan. Every post is like a Chinese puzzle box. Go Charles go!

His thoughts are correct, but not the way he relays them.

It's almost like he is speaking in another language and then someone is translating for him......but, mixing up the syntax.

I think you guys are still kids and needs spoon feeding........ so I will now give a detailed and brief information regarding my comment... so that you kids could understand.. happy now

I agree, even though Pierre Thomas is the Backup RB he is performing much better then Reggie Bush at this point.

Wow-
