Paige: A Little respect for Sharpe players
A player with Reggie Bush’s speed and ability to slip defenders when he gets the ball in the open field presents a major problem for most defenses, and the Colts should be no exception. Bush has struggled at times in his four seasons in the NFL because he’s not exactly a traditional running back, but the Saints lately — especially in the playoffs — have found ways to use him out of the backfield. Bush is averaging 7.7 yards per carry in the playoffs, with one rushing touchdown, while also catching six passes for 57 yards and another score. While the Colts have one of the league’s fastest defenses, linebackers Gary Brackett and Clint Session aren’t built to line up against Bush in pass coverage. “You see what he’s able to do for us, not only running the football from the backfield but when he’s catching the ball out of the backfield,” quarterback Drew Brees said.
