Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, Bush is likely to get the bulk of the carries. Saints Coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that the Heisman Trophy winner from Southern California will be the primary ball carrier while veteran Aaron Stecker and undrafted rookie Pierre Thomas assume secondary roles.
"I think Reggie will get more carries," Payton said. "I think Stecker will be involved and Pierre Thomas will be involved, but you'll see Reggie get more handoffs (and be part of the offense) more than he's been as a ball carrier. We'll still have to monitor how many runs, but you'll see him more from the running back position." [READ] |
