215 carries, 85 catches, 1,700 combined yards, 13 total touchdowns.
Those are the numbers Larry Holder of the Sun Herald expects of Saints' runningback Reggie Bush this season. Yes, that Reggie Bush.
The same Bush that struggled mightly in 2007 after starting runningback Deuce McAllister suffered his second severe knee injury in three seasons. The same Bush that succombed to a knee injury of his own at the end of last season, keeping him out of the final four weeks while the Saints made a late-season playoff push. The same Bush that came into the NFL in 2006 with a load of hype, only to struggle at times while showing some flashes of greatness (particularly down the stretch of the season and in the playoffs).
The same Bush that just about every NFL critic, expert and pundit has repeatedly declared cannot handle a starting runningback's load for an entire season.
So is Holder crazy?
