LayLow Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Bush Reggie Bush tore the meniscus in his left knee Sunday. He will have arthroscopic surgery and isn't expected back for 3-4 weeks, according to CBS' Charley Casserly. Profootballtalk.com reports Bush could miss up to six weeks. New Orleans has a Week 9 bye, so if Bush recovers on the optimistic end of Casserly's estimate he'd only miss two games. An MRI Bush will undergo Monday should give us a better picture. Deuce McAllister will likely start against San Diego in Week 8 and at Atlanta in Week 10. Pierre Thomas will also see an increase in carries and likely dominate third-down work. It sounds like Bush should be 100% by the fantasy playoffs. He's dealt with knee trouble since Week 1 and it's a good thing he's getting it taken care of now.

RussMan Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I have my doubts that Duece can handle the full load for long with his bad knees. Pierre Thomas should be getting more work.... should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussMan Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 well what a surprise, another one of my players hurt Since he was coming off a knee injury Im sure you drafted his backup... so no problems mate. Right!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 rajun will tell you that the coaching staff doesn't have a ton of confidence in Thomas. His lack of playing time proves that out. Now may be the time where Pepe Le Pew gets his shot. I say this is the time to watch a star in the making! Pierre Thomas WILL take over the duties for the Saints!!!!!!!!

myhousekey Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Unfortunately none of them seem to be able to convert 3rd/4th and 1. Another game, another injury for the Saints. Getting old real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 as expected... SI.com's Peter King just phoned in with a report on Saints running back Reggie Bush. From King: What the New Orleans Saints feared Sunday night became reality Monday morning: All-purpose running back Reggie Bush, who leads the NFL with eight TDs, has a torn meniscus in his left knee and will undergo arthriscopic surgery today to repair the knee. Bush is expected to miss three or four weeks, beginning with this week's game in London against San Diego. The Saints then have a bye, and follow that with games at Atlanta and Kansas City. He is expected to return Nov. 16 against the Chiefs or Nov. 24 against the Packers. Bush sustained the injury just before halftime of the Saints' loss at Carolina on Sunday. He said he felt something pop in his knee while trying to evade a Carolina tackler. The Saints advised him to see renowned doctor James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., this morning. It is Andrews who made the diagnosis on Bush. In Bush's absence the Saints are expected to turn to backups Aaron Stecker and Pierre Thomas to take his place. New Orleans also will have a healthier Jeremy Shockey and Marques Colston back in the lineup. Both returned Sunday but weren't 100 percent because of lingering injuries.

Whiskey Pimp Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Since Bush is more of a WR then a RB maybe Lance Moore should get the catches from where Reggie usually lines up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider it quiet optimism, but you might be spot on. They still probably don't want to lean too heavily on Deuce so they will still need someone to play as a compliment to him. I still think Thomas would be a much better option, but the question is whether they trust PT enough in pass protection whereas Stecker is a pretty good blocker.

My guess is stecker...just like last year when he came in during fantasy playoffs and blows up. Pierre had his chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 seriously, that's what you get for using one of your best players on punt returns. every once in a while is ok, but it's just too risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think Bush's injury hurts brees more then colston and shockey being out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) I think Bush's injury hurts brees more then colston and shockey being out. Absolutely. Guy can turn a 3 yard catch into a 30 yard touchdown. That's a pretty nice "dump-off" option. Edited October 21, 2008 by myhousekey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
