They should start Reggie Bush, so that he can play during the 1st and 2nd downs, then they should use Deuce for 3rd and short situations.

I can see McAllister, starting at the beginning of the season, and Bush returning kicks and being a third-down guy, and giving Deuce a rest every now and then. It won't take long though, for the Saints to see how dynamic Bush is, and he will probably be getting 20 rushes a game by week 6. I can maybe see him rushing for 800 yards this year, and maybe 700 yard receiving.
I heard Chris Mortensen saying on ESPN today, that people have the wrong idea about Bush, thinking that he's a little guy, but he's really as big as Emmitt Smith, and really strong. He will be a monster, if not by late this season, then definitely by next year.

The Saints need to start winning more games, so I think they should do the following. Bush should be used like a WR and play like Chris Perry untill he gets more experience. Deuce should become a solid running back if he takes more reps. After all, they wasted so much money on him and gave up ricky williams.

all i can say is many teams have two back, and it dont hurt to have two great backs..in my opinion to keep Bush healthy you run macallister most of the time, let bush come in as a wide out, maybe two backs at the same time for passing and running ability..its a great position to be in....only because bush can do anything that a wr, te, rb, can do, so let him return punts, catch balls, and run and get 300 all purpose yards while mcallister rushes for 1600 this year...then you make picks get wr's, mcalister retires and wham..you have it all

I think they should run them out of the same backfield. Imagine how much of a mismatch that creates for defenses. Also you can spread Bush out as a Wide-out.

Both are good of course but they should put Bush all over the field like in his USC days.
