Reggie get’s downplayed.
New Orleans Saints’ Reggie Bush shows class with acceptance of reduced role
I admit, when it comes to Reggie Bush, it’s always “What have you done for me lately?” But like him or not, his manic play produces memorable moments. His fumbles have changed games. His athleticism has changed games. His six yard leap and reach into the end zone last Sunday being a recent highlight. He is quick but his desire to run around linemen and defenders rather than through them confounds me. It lies in some fear of getting hit or a reliance on what he was able to get away with in high school and college.
I actually love the guy. I feel like, having seen him in his most humiliating moments (this recent reduced role being one of them) that I have a more human response to him. But then he will fumble or lose yards running backwards and my face goes into my hand.
