Reggie Bush a bust? Don't think so Michael Rosenberg

Michael Rosenberg wrote an article for SI, Bust? Saints haven't figured out what to do with Reggie Bush, which I pretty much disagree with.

Bush was drafted to help the Saints by making big plays, scoring touchdowns and help the team win games. He wasn't drafted as the savior Christ like the article insists.

In Bush's career he has played in 52 games racking in 4,502 total yards and 32 touchdowns (not counting playoffs). That averages out to about 1251 total yards and 9 scores a year. Those are some pretty good numbers. He was drafted as an exceptional utility player and that is what he is. A running back, receiver and punt returner.

His play making ability also helps the team since defenses have to keep an eye on him. They can't load up on the receivers and stick a linebacker on him or they will get toasted. This opens up their passing game big time.

So a bust he is not. A good NFL player who helps his team win he is.

Dallas to win the Super Bowl next year?

I just finished reading this article by Alan Pattani about how similar the 09 Cowboys are to the 91 Cowboys, which was the turning point to their Super Bowl domination in the 90's. All I can say is WOW. If you want to take a look at the story check it out HERE.

The current Cowboys certainly have a great team, if they can fix some mental blunders they can be an excellent team. I think this certainly can be Déjà vu for Cowboy Nation. I hope so, that way I can rag on all the Cowboys haters :-P

Wouldn't it be funny if the Jets beat the Colts?

Don't get me wrong, I am a Peyton Manning fan. I think he is the best quarterback in the NFL and probably of all time. I would love for the Colts to win the Super Bowl.

Would it not be a total kick in the ass if the Jets happen to win? I mean, the reason they are even in the playoffs is because Jim Caldwell wanted to rest his starters in their week 16 match-up since they already had home field wrapped up in the playoffs. They bypassed the golden chance at an undefeated season for health players.

Now, the Jets could have won that game even if the starters stayed in, but it isn't likely. This upcoming game would not even exist had the Colts played the game hard and came out with a victory.

Now they both play for the AFC Championship, and that stickler defense of the Jets could possibly beat the Colts. Passing up the opportunity for NFL immortality and choosing rested players for the playoffs gave the Jets a playoff birth (well they still had to win their last game but you know what I mean).

If the Colts lose, Jim Caldwell will get blamed for not playing his starters in week 16 and killing the Jets playoff hopes at that time. With a win, the Jets will have bitten the hand that fed it.

But if the Colts win and go on to win the Super Bowl, fans may still be angry since it proves they would of beaten them in week 16, giving them a chance to have only the 2nd undefeated season in NFL history, the 1st to do it with the 16 game regular season schedule.

This game is gonna be good :-)

Tainted BCS Championship win?

I don't think so. Many are claiming it a tainted win since McCoy went down so early in the 1st quarter leaving Texas to play a freshman inexperienced quarterback. Although that is a great misfortune for the Longhorns, that is just part of the game. Alabama did catch a break, a huge one, and even though the scoreboard said 37-21 it was a much closer game then that.

The first two field goals Texas kicked would have probably been touchdowns had McCoy not gone down. None the less, with just over 3 minutes left of the game Texas brought it within 3 points. Poor Texas freshman Gilbert's fumble and interception on their next 2 possessions changed that lead to 17.

Four interceptions, 1 returned for a touchdown, and a critical fumble were evidence Gilbert wasn't ready to play. It appeared the coaches already knew that when he first came into the game by being super conservative on play calls, basically just running the ball. It is possible that McCoy could of had the same issues with turnovers but it is highly unlikely. In my opinion Texas might have won the game by two or three scores had McCoy not gone down.

So a tainted win? Not for Alabama. I put the blame on Texas. Their backup looked like a lost kid out there. He did have some good moments, but for the most part the offense was severely hampered in limited play calls, and the turnovers are what lost the game.

Texas should have had a backup ready to play, especially in such a critical position. He should of been familiar with the offense, familiar with the playbook, and most of all familiar with the players. I don't expect a backup to come in and perform stellar, but I do expect a backup to come in prepared. Gilbert was nowhere near prepared and I blame the coaches for that.

Injuries are part of the game and shouldn't take anything away from a win.
