Bush is going to be in a more limited role. Possibly only getting the ball 10-12 times. Not because he can't carry the load, but because this plan of attack will utilize Reggie to his particular talents more effectively.
McAllister will get the bulk of the carries.. but I wouldn't be surprised to see Bush have more yards and TDs in a large portion of the games either.
it will be mccallister with about 50% of the carries with reggie and thomas splitting the rest to start out, HOWEVER thats just for the start of the season to start deuce out slow because of the knee. Also Bush will be in on almost every play in every game this year, he may not run the ball but he is still a threat. Im also expecting to see deuce to be let go eventually. With the emergence of Thomas and BOTH of deuces kness needing surgury im not sure if the saints would spend big money on a player thats injury prone, especially in the knees
Duece will get the bulk of the work through week 3 when he'll blow out his knee. After that point, Bush will see more work but will be completely ineffective until week 10 when back, ankle issues, and being kicked in the throat by Jeremy Shockey will force him to miss some game time. This leads to New Orleans signing Shaun Alexander who will finish out the year as their featured back.

Shaun Alexander? I bet Rod Smart is toting the rock for the Saints by week 10.

Anyone think Alexander's phone has even rang?
Yeah it has, the day the seahawks called and said they didn't need him any more!
Seriously there was a few teams looking at him and he actually visited one or 2 with the bengals being one I think, but nothing has ever come of it.

So,
they wanna trade Rudi to potentially bring him in? Yikes. I wish the Bengals were better. They are/were fun to watch when Carson has his full arsenol to use.

He'll average around 75-80 yds/game, but his TD totals will be good for the time he's with the Saints.
You should go ahead and draft him early in your fantasy drafts.

WOW! Think he'll make it to the 4th round? :P

Saints RB Reggie Bush appeared to set the tone for a major bounce-back campaign in 2008 when he committed to staying in New Orleans during the offseason so he could be around his teammates and work on improving his speed and strength. We hear, however, that there has been little evidence of a new and improved Bush thus far in the preseason after he struggled through a disappointing sophomore season in ’07. Sources say Bush still seems to be shuffling his feet behind the line of scrimmage and that he waits too long for holes to develop. As he enters his third season, Bush is expected to be the focal point of the Saints’ offense, and he will get plenty of chances to prove he deserves that role. It’s only the preseason, but there are some warning signs that Bush might not be able to come through with the kind of season he and the team had envisioned.

and Deuce cannot stay healthy. That is perhaps empirically more proven than Reggie Bush's inability to gain yards after contact.
Pierre Thomas or Aaron Stecker deserve more sleeper upside than Deuce, who has little chance of escaping the season in a healthy fashion.
