Bush To Join High-Flying Saints In Tampa
November 25th, 2008If you’re making a list of Bucs killers out there in the NFL, Reggie Bush has to be very high on the list. It’s too painful for Joe to revisit the details of the whoopin’ he’s put on our beloved Bucs.
Bush, who has been out about a month with a minor knee injury, is expected to return to action when New Orleans comes to Tampa on Sunday, according to the Times-Picayune.
Tailback Reggie Bush said, “I definitely feel like this is the week.” He has missed the past four games after tearing the meniscus in his left knee, but he has been inching closer to a return, increasing his workload in practice each of the past two weeks.
Bush said he didn’t suffer a setback last week, but he was held out of the Green Bay game as a precautionary measure.
“You’re just trying to make sure you’re 100 percent before you get back out there on the field,” he said.
Like many of you, Joe watched the Saints drop 51 points on the Packers on Monday night. That was without Bush, who creates more options in the passing game and has breakaway speed.
The Saints come to Tampa with the No. 1 ranked pass offense. The Bucs are No. 2 in the NFL versus the pass. It should be a great matchup.
And let’s hope Bush brings his celebrity girlfriend with him. Perhaps she’ll wear her Wonder Woman costume again and have a wardrobe malfunction.
