21 tds? Reggie has only scored 24 touchdowns over the course of 3 years (rushing, receiving and returning combined). I dont see him having a break out year with 21 tds.
I wont dispute the yardage. The numbers are all attainable. Throw in the fact that Reggie is in a contract year and running backs have historically produced solid numbers when their up for new contracts and I the yardage predictions are fare.
Reggie Bush will not score 21 touchdowns. It will be more like 10- 15 touchdowns. He will not have 1200 yards rushing. It will be more like 700-900. He will not have 1200 yards receiving. It will be more like 700-900
I will say that he will have somewhere around 1700 total yards.
The reason Westbrook, Tiki Barber had those kind of yards was because they were the primary weapons in the offense. They got the ball alot because there were not many options.
Now, the one player who had weapons around him and still produced like that was Marshall Faulk when he was with the Rams. Marshall Faulk put up these kind of numbers in 1994 (IND)and 1998- 2001(STL).
Also, Faulk got all the goal-line carries which allowed him to produce those crazy touchdown numbers.
Is Bush as good as Marshall Faulk and does the Saints have more people than the Rams had to spread the ball around to, and will Bush get all the goal line carries?
Colston-Shockey-Meachem-Henderson-Pierre Thomas-Reggie Bush-Lance Moore-Mike Bell
Faulk-Hakim-Bruce-Holt
I would say no, yes and no so I don't see Bush getting over 1700 yards
I will rename this projections to a best case projections. I can realistically see Reggie getting 8 Rushing TD's and 10 receiving TD's. I think the punt returns are a toss up because it depends how often he is kicked to.
I think people tend to forget that Reggie Bush had 8 TD's after 6 Games last year. So technically he was on pace for 21 TD's last year. His biggest problem is staying healthy.
