GAMEDAY AT A GLANCE

• DATE: Sunday, Nov. 5 • TIME: 3:15 p.m. CT

• SITE: Heinz Field

• WORTH NOTING: With the NFL implmenting

“flexible scheduling” for the first time, Sunday’s

game is the first to be played after having the

game time changed. Contests in Weeks 10-15

and Week 17 can be moved to ensure quality

matchups in all Sunday time slots and give

teams a chance to play their way onto prime

time and into the 3:15 p.m. time slot. For Week

10, the Chicago Bears at New York Giants

game was moved to 7:15 p.m. CT on NBC. For

each flexible scheduling week with the excep-

tion of Week 17, the NFL will announce the

start times of games on Sunday, no later than

12 days prior to that weekend. To ensure a

Sunday night game and doubleheader game

with playoff implications in Week 17, the deci-

sion for that Sunday can be made six days in

advance ......DE Will Smith had a forced fum-

ble against Tampa Bay last week for the sec-

ond-straight week, the ninth of his career. No

current player with the club approaches that

total. Smith had a stretch of five-straight games

with a forced fumble (the last four games of

2004 and the 2005 opener). That streak is a

team record... Sunday is expected to be the

100th game of DT Brian Young’s career.

The New Orleans Saints, in sole posses-

sion of the NFC South lead at 6-2, travel to the

Pittsburgh Steelers (2-6) for Sunday’s 3:15 p.m.

CT contest at Heinz Field. The Saints’ record is

the best at midseason since opening at 7-1 in

2002. This will be the club’s first trip to Pitts-

burgh since 1993, and it will be the team’s initial

visit to Heinz Field, which opened in 2001.

New Orleans is 6-6 all-time against the

Steelers, including a 32-29 victory at the

Louisiana Superdome on Oct. 6, 2002 that was

the last meeting between the two clubs. Pitts-

burgh is one of the Saints’ most infrequent

opponents, with New Orleans only taking on the

Steelers twice since 1993. Since that season,

the Saints have only played the Houston Texans

– who entered the NFL in 2002 – fewer times.

And in the series vs. Pittsburgh, the Saints are

6-0 when scoring 16 points or more.

New Orleans is coming off a 31-14 victory

at Tampa Bay to complete a 2006 sweep of its

division rival. The win featured a sparkling per-

formance by the offense, led by QB Drew

Brees. The sixth-year veteran had perhaps his

finest game of his brief career with the Saints,

posting a 136.7 passer rating by completing 24

of 32 for 314 yards and three touchdowns. It

was the third-straight game where Brees has

tossed three TDs – a first in team history – and

the fourth contest of 2006 where he has had

over 300 yards passing.

The victory also continued to usher in the

emergence of WR Marques Colston as one of

the NFL’s most exciting rookies. Colston had a

career-high 11 catches for 123 yards and a TD.

He ranks fourth in the NFL in receiving yardage

(700) and is tied for the league lead in receiving

touchdowns with seven.

Colston’s yardage total makes him only the

third player in NFL history with 700 or more

yards through the first eight games of his

career. The others were WR Harlon Hill (802 in

1954 with the Chicago Bears) and WR Bill

Groman (708, in 1960 with the Houston Oilers).

Colston (44) only trails teammate RB

Reggie Bush (46) in receptions among NFL

rookies. With the two combining for 90 at mid-

season, the pair are on pace to break the record

for combined catches for two rookies on the

same team. The mark is currently held by

Arizona WRs Anquan Boldin (101) and Bryant

Johnson (35), who combined for 136 in 2003.

A team rushing landmark fell by the way-

side last week when RB Deuce McAllister

became the first player in club history to reach

5,000 yards. He also had the 39th rushing

touchdown of his career, pulling him even with

former RB Dalton Hilliard (1986-93) for the

team’s all-time lead in the category.

The defense was also stout at Tampa Bay.

The unit opened by forcing six consecutive

three-and-outs as the Saints steamed to a 17-0

lead. And when Tampa Bay responded with two

touchdowns, the Saints held the Bucs to only 64

yards in the second half. DE Will Smith had a

career-high two sacks and a forced fumble.

WEEK 10: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS

SAINTS-STEELERS PREVIEW

THE COACHES

First-year head coach Sean Payton is 6-2 this

season. He is the lone coach in club history to open

his career in New Orleans with three-straight victo-

ries, and his record after eight contests is the best in

club history for a first-year head coach. Payton was

hired as the club’s 14th head coach in January after

serving as a member of the Dallas Cowboys’ staff

from 2003-2005. He has since begun a major rebuild-

ing project by reshaping the Saints’ roster, with 26

new players on the team entering the Week Nine

contest at Tampa Bay. Against the Buccaneers, 13 of

the newcomers were starters, as well as the punter.

Payton started his NFL coaching career with the

Eagles, serving as the club’s quarterbacks coach

from 1997-98. He served in a similar position with the

New York Giants in 1999, before being promoted to

offensive coordinator in 2000 and holding that posi-

tion until 2002.

No current NFL head coach has served in the

same position longer than Pittsburgh’s Bill Cowher,

who has been with the Steelers since 1992. Since

then the club has missed the playoffs just four times,

captured eight division titles, advanced to six AFC

Championship games, made two Super Bowl appear-

ances and won Super Bowl XL last season.

HISTORY

The Saints are 6-6 all-time against the Steelers,

and making only the fifth trip in club history to Pitts-

burgh...This is the club’s first visit to Heinz Field,

which opened in 2001...Pittsburgh is one of nine

teams that the Saints have a .500 record or better all-

time against, including the Buffalo Bills (4-4), the

Chicago Bears (11-11), the Cincinnati Bengals (5-5),

the Houston Texans (1-0), the Indianapolis Colts (5-

4), the Kansas City Chiefs (4-4), the New York Jets

(5-5) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (19-11)...The

Steelers are one of the Saints’ most infrequent oppo-

nents. The two teams have only played twice since

1993, the least meetings the Saints have had with an

NFL foe over that span – excluding the Texans, who

entered the NFL in 2002... When scoring 16 points or

more, the Saints are 6-0 in the series...On Nov. 19,

1984, the Saints won the first Monday Night Football

game in club history with a 27-24 victory at the

Superdome. New Orleans had entered the game 0-6

on MNF...New Orleans and Pittsburgh were division

foes in 1968 when both teams were part of the

Century Division. They played twice that season, with

the Saints winning both contests...A look back at the

results between the Saints and Steelers in the previ-

ous 12 meetings:

LAST MEETING

Saints 32, Pittsburgh Steelers 29; Oct. 6, 2002

@ the Louisiana Superdome – The Saints notched

their first victory of 2002 – and fourth over a playoff

team from the season before – with a memorable win

at home. RB Deuce McAllister had 123 yards and a

pair of touchdowns on 23 carries, and his 52-yard TD

run in the third quarter was his longest of the season.

The game was full of offensive fireworks, as the

two clubs combined for 679 yards, seven touchdowns

and four field goals. K John Carney gave New

Orleans a 29-22 advantage heading into the final

quarter with a 31-yard field goal, and he added a 48-

yard kick a few minutes later. The Steelers responded

with a 47-yard touchdown drive on their final posses-

sion to pull within seven with 1:54 remaining, but S

Jay Bellamy hauled in Pittsburgh’s onsides kick

attempt and the Saints ran out the clock.

SERIES HIGHLIGHTS vs. PITTSBURGH

A look back at some of the memorable moments

in the previous 12 games of the series:

Oct. 10, 1968: Saints 16, Steelers 12, at Pitt

Stadium – Despite Pittsburgh recording 210 yards

rushing, the Saints prevailed for their first road victory

of the season, and only the second in franchise histo-

ry. The Steelers missed two extra-point attempts,

while New Orleans K Charlie Durkee booted three

field goals and RB Ernie Wheelwright ran for a TD.

Dec. 12, 1968: Saints 24, Steelers 14, at Tulane

Stadium – The Saints completed a sweep of their

then-division rivals and posted the top two-season

record of a modern NFL expansion team at the time

(7-20-1). QB Billy Kilmer completed 17-of-36 passes

for 290 yards and two touchdowns. WR Charlie

Brown had a 53-yard punt return for a touchdown to

give the Saints a comfortable, 21-7 lead in the sec-

ond half.

Dec. 21, 1969: Saints 27, Steelers 24, at Tulane

Stadium – New Orleans improved to a franchise-best

5-9 with a season-ending win over the Steelers for

the second-straight year. WR Danny Abramowicz

had eight catches for 129 yards. All five Saints’ victo-

ries in 1969 came in the last eight games.

Nov. 5, 1978 Steelers 20, Saints 14 at Three

Rivers Stadium – Playing a Pittsburgh team in the

midst of six-season run of winning four Super Bowls

(1974-79), QB Archie Manning had a big day

against the famed “Steel Curtain” defense. Manning

completed 22 of 32 for 344 yards and a touchdown,

with the yardage total being his career-high to that

point. Pittsburgh QB Terry Bradshaw completed 16

of 23 for 200 yards, including touchdown (continued)

SAINTS-STEELERS SPECIFICS

passes to FB Rocky Bleier and WR Lynn Swann

that sunk the upset-minded Saints.

Oct. 4, 1981: Steelers 20, Saints 6, at Tulane

Stadium – The Saints drove inside the Steelers’ 20

several times but could only record a couple of field

goals. Plagued by turnovers in only his second NFL

start, QB Dave Wilson was intercepted four times

while completing 12 of 20 passes. The Steelers would

hold RB George Rogers to 77 yards on 25 carries,

but the rookie finished the year with a franchise-

record 1,674 rushing yards.

Nov. 19, 1984: Saints 27, Steelers 24 at the

Superdome – In the first prime-time victory in fran-

chise history, the Saints defeated Pittsburgh on

Monday Night Football. DT Bruce Clark, a Pennsyl-

vania native, had a big day with an interception deep

in Saints’ territory, a sack and two fumble recoveries.

Nov. 29, 1987 Saints 20, Steelers 16 at Three

Rivers Stadium – The Saints would return from

Pittsburgh with their first winning season. Down 14-3

at halftime, New Orleans opened the second half with

an 86-yard TD drive. In the fourth quarter, S Gene

Atkins recovered a fumble that the Saints pushed

into the end zone for a 17-16 lead. CB Milton Mack’s

interception ended Pittsburgh’s next possession, and

K Morten Andersen’s field goal widened the lead to

20-16. In what may be the landmark moment of the

series for New Orleans, Pittsburgh ran six-straight

plays inside the Saints 10 late in the fourth quarter,

but CB Dave Waymer preserved the win with an

interception on the one-yard line.

Dec. 16, 1990 Steelers 9, Saints 6, at the

Superdome – In a defensive struggle where the only

scoring came on five field goals, the Steelers held the

Saints to 195 yards of offense. In what became a bat-

tle for field position, New Orleans led 6-3 in the fourth

quarter. But Pittsburgh K Gary Anderson drilled two

field goals in the final 5:24, including the game-win-

ner with less than two minutes remaining.

WEEK NINE: Saints 31, Tampa Bay

Buccaneers 14; Nov. 5, 2006 @ Raymond James

Stadium – After jumping out to a 17-0 early advan-

tage, the Saints held off a Buccaneers’ rally and

responded with a second-half flurry of points to

improve to 6-2.

• QB Drew Brees sparkled again, posting a 136.7

passer rating, while completing 24 of 32 passes for

314 yards and three touchdowns. He completed 10 of

12 in the third quarter – including a 45-yard scoring

strike to WR Devery Henderson – and led New

Orleans on another touchdown drive to quell Tampa

Bay’s comeback aspirations.

• WR Marques Colston continued his torrid rook-

ie pace, hauling in a career-high 11 passes for 123

yards and a touchdown. The lanky rookie suffered a

mild concussion on his scoring grab with 8:11 remain-

ing in the first quarter, but did not miss any playing

time. It was a workmanlike effort, with Colston’s

longest catch being 24 yards.

• With WR Joe Horn inactive (hamstring), WR

Devery Henderson took on a bigger role in the

offense with three catches for 111 yards, including

52- and 45-yard touchdown receptions. Colston and

Henderson combined for the seventh game in team

history where the Saints boasted a pair of receivers

with over 100 yards in the same contest. After Horn

and Colston achieved the feat the previous week

against Baltimore, it was the first time in club record

books it had been done consecutively.

• DE Will Smith led the defensive line with seven

tackles and had a career-high two sacks. He also had

a forced fumble, the ninth of his career. DE Charles

Grant added five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, a

fumble recovery and knocked down a pass.

• The defense forced Tampa Bay to go three-and-

out on its first six possessions. After the Buccaneers

scored two quick touchdowns in the second quarter,

the Saints stiffened, holding the Bucs to just 64 yards

in the second half.

• Several players stepped up with outstanding

performances, including T Zach Strief, who started

his first NFL game, TE Billy Miller, WR Terrance

Copper, CB DeJuan Groce and LB Danny Miller.

WEEK EIGHT: Baltimore Ravens 35, Saints 22;

Oct. 29, 2006 @ the Louisiana Superdome – The

Saints fell to 5-2 following the bye after being unable

to overcome a 21-point deficit in the first half – a

Ravens lead created by New Orleans turnovers.

• QB Drew Brees threw for a career-high 383

yards and tossed three touchdowns, but he also had

three interceptions. Two of the Ravens’ picks were

returned for touchdowns, one on a deflected ball.

Brees attempted 45 passes and completed 24.

• WRs Marques Colston and Joe Horn com-

bined for the sixth game in team history where two

receivers had over 100 yards. Colston had 163 yards

on six receptions with a pair of TDs, and Horn added

126 on five grabs with a touchdown. Horn’s scoring

reception was his 49th TD catch since coming to New

Orleans in 2000, the highest total in club record

books. Colston’s touchdown catches were from 47

and 24 yards, and he also added a 53-yard reception

in the first half.


2006 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW


WEEK SIX: Saints 27, Philadelphia Eagles

24; Oct. 15, 2006 @ the Louisiana Superdome –

QB Drew Brees led New Orleans on a 16-play, 72-

yard drive that ate up the final 8:26 of the contest set-

ting up K John Carney’s 31-yard field goal as time

expired. Carney’s kick was the 14th game-winner of

his career in the final 10 seconds, and his sixth with

New Orleans since joining the club in 2001.

• Brees finished the game 27 of 37 for 275 yards

and three touchdowns, with a pair of interceptions. He

completed his final 10 attempts and had a passer rat-

ing of 98.4.

• WR Joe Horn had six catches for 110 yards and

a pair of TDs. It was the 26th 100-yard performance

of his career, and the Saints improved to 19-7 when

he reaches the milestone. The two touchdowns

improved his total with the Saints to 48, pulling him

even with WR Eric Martin (1985-93) for the most

receiving TDs in team record books.

• LB Scott Fujita sparkled with eight tackles, a

sack, an interception and two passes defensed.

WEEK FIVE: Saints 24, Tampa Bay

Buccaneers 21; Oct. 8, 2006 @ the Louisiana

Superdome – RB Reggie Bush scored his first NFL

touchdown in dramatic style, returning a punt 65

yards for the game-winning touchdown with 4:17

remaining. After the Saints pulled ahead 17-7 late in

the third quarter, the Buccaneers rallied for a couple

of touchdowns to pull ahead by four, setting up

Bush’s TD.

• RB Deuce McAllister had 123 yards on 15 car-

ries, including a 24-yard touchdown and a 57-yard

burst in the first half. It was the 24th 100-yard day of

his career, which ranks first in club history. He also

became the team’s all-time rushing attempts leader in

the contest, moving past RB Dalton Hilliard (1,126

from 1986-93). The TD was the 39th of his career,

moving him into a tie with Hilliard for the highest

rushing touchdown total of his career.

• In addition to his punt return, Bush had a team-

high 11 catches for 63 yards.

• QB Drew Brees increased his streak for passes

without an interception to 133.

WEEK FOUR: Carolina Panthers 21, Saints

18; Oct. 1, 2006 @ Bank of America Stadium –

New Orleans suffered its first loss of the season

despite a 15-point burst in the fourth quarter to pull

within three of Carolina. The Saints led, 10-7, until

early in the fourth quarter.

• QB Drew Brees completed 28 of 38 passes for

349 yards and a touchdown to post a passer rating of

110.5 The yardage total was the fourth-highest of his

career, and the ninth-best in team history. • Rookie

WR Marques Colston had five catches for 132

yards, including an 86-yard scoring grab late in the

fourth quarter to pull the Saints within three.

• Rookie P Steve Weatherford averaged 46.0

yards on five punts, dropping one inside the 20.

WEEK THREE: Saints 23, Atlanta Falcons 3;

Sept. 25, 2006 @ the Louisiana Superdome – In

the first contest at the stadium since it had been used

as a shelter of last resort during Hurricane Katrina,

the Saints christened the refurbished Superdome with

a 23-3 victory broadcast nationally on ESPN Monday

Night Football.

• The win featured a dominating performance by

the Saints’ defense and special teams. The defense

posted five sacks, allowed the Falcons only 112 pass-

ing yards and 10 first downs and Atlanta only convert-

ed three of 16 third downs. On special teams, S

Steve Gleason blocked a punt on the Falcons’ first

possession that led to a recovery in the end zone by

CB Curtis Deloatch; and S Josh Bullocks blocked

a field goal attempt at the end of the second quarter.

K John Carney added a 51-yard field goal to close

the first half, one of his three for the game.

• RBs Deuce McAllister (81) and Reggie Bush

(53) combined for 134 yards. WR Devery Henderson

took a reverse and bolted for an 11-yard TD.

squared off on Dec. 26, 2004.

WEEK TWO: Saints 34, Green Bay Packers

27; Sept. 17, 2006 @ the Lambeau Field – The

Saints notched back-to-back road victories to start a

season for the first time in club history. New Orleans

did so after roaring back from a 13-0 first-quarter

deficit with 20 unanswered points over the next two

quarters. The 34 points was the highest the Saints

had scored in a contest since hanging 45 on the New

York Giants, Dec. 14, 2004.

• QB Drew Brees calmly led the comeback by

completing 26 of 41 for 353 yards and two TDs, for a

passer rating of 96.9.

• Rookie WR Marques Colston four catches for

58 yards and a 35-yard TD, the second-straight game

where he posted a touchdown to open his pro career.

• RB Deuce McAllister had a pair of touchdowns

in the contest, reaching 40 for his career (36 rushing,

four receiving).

• WR Joe Horn had a 57-yard catch in the con-

test, which put him over 7,000 yards for his career

with New Orleans. It was his longest play since 2004.

• The Saints opened with three running backs in

the lineup: McAllister, Reggie Bush and Aaron

Stecker. Bush lined up at wide receiver, and Stecker

had a 12-yard catch on the play.

WEEK ONE: Saints 19, Cleveland Browns

14; Sept. 10, 2006 @ Cleveland Browns Stadium –

The victory marked only the second time in club his-

tory that a new head coach opened his first year in

New Orleans with a win. It was also the 13th time in

team record books that the Saints notched a season-

opening victory.

• RB Deuce McAllister bounced back from last

year’s season-ending knee injury to post 90 yards on

22 carries. In his first NFL action, RB Reggie Bush

added 61 yards rushing, 58 receiving on a team-high

eight grabs and returned three punts for 22 yards.

• The Saints had a trio of rookie starters: G Jahri

Evans, WR Marques Colston and S Roman Harper.

• The defense surrendered only 186 net yards (85

rushing) and posted five sacks. DT Brian Young had

a team-high 2.5. The Saints didn’t allow a Browns first

down until there was 2:33 remaining in the first half.

• K John Carney had four field goals and

accounted for 13 of the club’s 19 points.

Individual notes, milestones, updates and infor-mation on some of the Saints’ top performers thisseason on offense:QB DREW BREES

• The sixth-year veteran is a team leader and

has been one of the club’s most consistent perform-

ers in his first season in New Orleans. In NFL rank-

ings, Brees enters Sunday’s contest fourth in

attempts (284), tied for second in completions (186),

third in completion percentage (65.5), fourth in yards

(2,206), fifth in average gain (7.77), tied for fourth in

touchdowns (14) and sixth in passer rating (95.2). He

leads the NFC in fourth-quarter passer rating (113.5,

third in the league, first among those with 60+ att.).

2006 GAME SUPERLATIVES (CONT.)

WORTH NOTING ON OFFENSE


• Last week against Tampa Bay, Brees had per-

haps his finest performance since joining the Saints.

He completed 24 of 32 passes for 314 yards, with

three TDs and zero interceptions in the 31-14 victory

at Tampa Bay. His passer rating was 136.7, the high-

est he has posted with New Orleans and among the

best of his career. His touchdown passes included

tosses of 52 and 45 yards to WR Devery Henderson

and a 15-yard strike to WR Marques Colston. After

the Buccaneers had rallied from a 17-point deficit to

close within three at halftime, Brees had a particularly

hot hand in the third quarter, completing 10 of 12 for

140 yards and a touchdown during the quarter and

leading the Saints on another 52-yard drive for a TD.

The Saints controlled the clock for 10:36 of the quar-

ter and 21:14 of the second half.

It was the fourth time in eight games where

Brees had thrown for over 300 yards, and the fourth

time where he had posted 275 yards or more. It was

also the third-straight week where Brees had thrown

for three touchdowns. In addition, with Colston post-

ing 123 yards on 11 grabs and Henderson having 111

on three receptions, the Saints had a pair of 100-yard

receivers for only the seventh time in club history,

and for the first time in back-to-back games.

• On third downs, Brees leads the NFC in com-

pletion percentage at 65.2 (third in the NFL). He has

completed 58 of 89 on third down in 2006, for 657

yards and three touchdowns.

• His 113.5 passer rating combined in the fourth

quarter shows he has been particularly effective over

the last 15 minutes of the previous seven contests.

During the final quarter, Brees has completed 39 of

63 passes for 605 yards, with five TDs and an inter-

ception. Against Philadelphia in Week Six, Brees

completed his final 10 passes after misfiring on his

first attempt of the fourth quarter. He proceeded to

lead New Orleans on a 16-play, 72-yard drive that ate

up 8:26 of the clock. The march set up K John

Carney’s 31-yard, game-winning field goal.

• In Week Eight, against Baltimore, Brees had

383 passing yards, the second-highest yardage total

in franchise history. It was the third time over the first

seven games that he has thrown for over 345 yards

(353 at Green Bay, 349 at Carolina). Including his

performance vs. the Ravens, Brees has posted the

best, third- and fourth-highest yardage totals of his

NFL career since Week Two. The passing yards

recorded vs. the Packers and at the Panthers are

ninth- and 10-best in club history.

Trailing by three touchdowns early in the game

against Baltimore and with the running game strug-

gling, Brees attempted a season-high 45 passes. Two

of his interceptions were returned for touchdowns.

Brees threw for 261 yards over the final two quarters,

and WRs Marques Colston (163) and Joe Horn

(126) each recorded over 100 yards receiving. Brees

averaged 16 yards per completion.

• In Week Five against Tampa Bay, Brees had a

workmanlike day in leading the Saints to victory, com-

pleting 21 of 33 attempts for 171 yards and a touch-

down. He was 11 of 17 in the second half, including a

nine-yard scoring strike to TE Ernie Conwell in the

third quarter.

• Brees entered the Week Six contest against

Philadelphia with 133-straight passing attempts with-

out an interception, a stretch he extended to 141

against the Eagles before an errant throw early in the

second quarter. Previously, Brees had last been

picked off in the first quarter at Green Bay, Sept. 17,

his seventh toss of that contest. Brees’ streak without

an interception should have been expected, however.

Over his previous 37 games – including the first six

games this season with New Orleans – Brees had

attempted 1,107 passes, with only 26 interceptions.

RB DEUCE McALLISTER

• Long the Saints’ workhorse on offense, Mc-

Allister is again the leading man in the club’s rushing

attack. Through seven games, McAllister has record-

ed 487 yards on 111 carries (4.4 yards per attempt)

and five touchdowns. He is on pace to post the sec-

ond-highest TD total of his career, behind the 16 (13

rushing, three receiving) that he recorded in 2002.

• McAllister has a big performance in his only

other game against the Steelers, rushing for 123

yards and a pair of touchdowns on Oct. 6, 2002 in

the Superdome.

• In the Week Five (Oct. 8) meeting against the

Buccaneers, McAllister had a 57-yard burst, his

longest gain since a 71-yard run in the 2004 finale at

Carolina. The six-year veteran had 123 yards on 15

carries (8.2 per rush) and a 24-yard touchdown in the

victory over Tampa Bay, the 24th 100-yard perform-

ance of his career. The Saints are 16-8 in those

games, and his total for reaching the milestone is first

in Saints history. Each 100-yard day has been posted

since he became a starter at the beginning of 2002 (a

span of 58 games). McAllister also became the club’s

all-time leader in rushing attempts against the

Buccaneers, a total that has now reached 1,165.

• That contest was McAllister’s first 100-yard day

since posting 130 on 27 carries vs. Buffalo last year

in Week Four. The performance also came a little

over a year after suffering a serious knee injury at

Green Bay in 2005 (Oct. 9). The injury required

reconstructive surgery. McAllister had already given

glimpses that he was all the way back, recording 90

yards on 22 attempts in the opener at Cleveland.

• McAllister enters Sunday’s game with 5,016

career yards, becoming the first player in team record

books to crack 5,000 last week against Tampa Bay.

He is already the club’s all-time leading rusher.

• Drafted in the first round in 2001, McAllister is

tied for first in club history in rushing touchdowns with

39 and needs only one to become the club’s all-time

leader in the category. He is currently tied with RB

Dalton Hilliard (39, 1986-93). The three-yard touch-

down run against Tampa Bay last week was the 43nd

TD of his career (including four receiving). He has

scored 258 points overall, ranking seventh in fran-

chise history and fourth among non-kickers.

RB REGGIE BUSH

• Selected second overall after a record-setting

career at USC, the rookie running back has lived up

to his draft billing with a sensational first eight games.

Thus far, Bush leads all NFL running backs in recep-

tions with 46 for 312 yards. That total also leads all

rookies. Bush also ranks first in the league overall for

third-down receptions with 21 for 149 yards. He has

added 207 yards on 81 carries.

• Bush’s 11 catches vs. Tampa Bay on Oct. 8

were the most for a Saints running back since RB

Deuce McAllister had the same total vs. Denver,

Nov. 21, 2004. For a running back, the 11 catches

trails only FB Tony Galbreath, who had 14 grabs at

Green Bay, Sept. 10, 1978. Among running back

receiving totals in team record books, FB Wayne

Wilson also had 11 for 89 yards vs. Atlanta on Jan.

2, 1983. Bush’s 11 catches were the most a rookie

for New Orleans since TE John Beasley had 12 vs.

San Diego, Nov. 18, 1973.

• With 46 so far in 2006, Bush needs just nine

receptions to eclipse the all-time team record for

catches by a rookie. The rookie mark is currently

shared by both Galbreath (1976) and TE Cam

Cleeland (1998), who each had 54 in their first NFL

season. Galbreath also holds the record for catches

by a Saints running back, having hauled in 74 in


1978. Bush’s average of 5.7 catches per contest

putscontest puts him on pace for 92, making him a

threat to top WR Joe Horn’s record of 94, which the

wide receiver reached in 2000 and 2004.

• Bush is also on pace to break the NFL’s all-

time record for a rookie running back for receptions, a

record currently held by San Francisco FB Earl

Cooper, who had 83 in 1980. Miami’s Terry Kirby

had 75 in 1993.

• Bush’s first NFL touchdown was a game-win-

ning, 65-yard punt return vs. the Buccaneers on Oct.

15. At the time, it was the 100th “touch” of his young

career (54 rushes, 34 receptions, 12 punt returns).

For his efforts, Bush was named the NFC Special

Teams Player of the Week (Week Five). He also

ranks ninth in the league in punt returns, averaging

10.6 yards on 17 returns – best among rookies.

• Bush ranks first among rookie running backs

with 519 yards from scrimmage (207 rushing, 312

receiving). And with 22 first downs, among rookies he

only trails teammate WR Marques Colston (32).

WR JOE HORN

• Inactive last week at Tampa Bay, if healthy

Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh will be the 100th for WR

Joe Horn with the Saints since joining the club in

2000. Of the previous 99 contests, Horn has started

98. In that span he has been the most productive free

agent signed in franchise history, with career totals

that now include 516 receptions for 7,450 yards and

a team-record 49 touchdown grabs

• With the 32-yard touchdown catch in the sec-

ond quarter vs. Baltimore in Week Eight, Horn

became the club’s all-time leader in TD receptions. It

was the 49th since arriving in New Orleans in 2000.

Horn can become only the second player in team his-

tory to score 50 touchdowns, joining RB Dalton

Hilliard, who had 53 from 1986-93. Including a two-

point conversion at Carolina, Oct. 1, Horn has scored

an even 300 points, which ranks fifth all-time in club

record books and second among non-kickers

(Hilliard, 318). His two TDs vs. Philadelphia marked

the 10th time in his career to haul in two or more

touchdowns in a game. Horn has scored at least one

touchdown in 35 of the 99 games he has played with

the Saints (35,3 percent).

• The 11th-year veteran became only the second

player in club history to reach 500 career receptions

with the Saints on Oct. 1 with a 17-yard grab at

Carolina in the third quarter. Horn enters Sunday’s

game with 516 catches for 7,450 yards and 49 TDs.

He is coming off his two biggest performances of

2006 thus far: The five-catch, 126-yard day against

Baltimore where he hauled in a 32-yard touchdown;

and a six-reception, 110-yard performance vs.

Philadelphia where he hauled in a pair of touch-

downs, including a 48-yard score. The games marked

the seventh time with the Saints where he reached

the milestone in back-to-back contests.

• The 126 yards vs. the Ravens marked Horn’s

27th time where he has reached triple digits in a

game for receiving yards. The Saints are 19-8 when

he reaches the milestone.

• With his typical season, Horn is on track to

break all of the club’s receiving records. For recep-

tions, Horn (516) only trails WR Eric Martin, who

hauled in 532 passes from 1985-93. Earlier this year,

Horn joined Martin as the only Saints players to go

over 7,000 receiving yards. Horn currently has 7,450

yards, trailing Martin’s team-record total of 7,854.

• With 507 after eight games, Horn is on pace to

post his fifth 1,000-yard season with the Saints

(2000-02, 2004). Horn had 973 receiving yards in

2003 after missing the finale with an injury, and he

had 654 last season while missing three games and

most of two others with a hamstring injury. Horn is the

only wideout in team history to record three-straight

1,000-yard seasons.

• With an average of 4.3 catches per game,

Horn is on pace to haul in 64 receptions. It would be

the sixth time with New Orleans with 64 or more

catches. No other player in team history has

achieved the feat.

WR MARQUES COLSTON

• No NFL rookie has turned more heads in

recent weeks than Colston, who has been one of the

league’s true impact rookies over the first eight

games. Like Bush, Colston is earning nationwide

attention for the Rookie of the Year honors awarded

following this season. Colston, a seventh-round pick

(252nd overall), is considered by most to have been

the steal of the 2006 NFL Draft. He ranks second

behind Bush (46) among NFL rookies with 44 recep-

tions and is tied for 10th overall in the league.

Colston is first among rookies and fourth overall in

the NFL with 700 receiving yards, and is a cinch to

top WR Danny Abramowicz’s all-time rookie receiv-

ing yardage mark of 700 yards, set in 1967. Like

teammate RB Reggie Bush, Colston is on target to

break the current Saints’ rookie receiving record (54).

• With an even 700 at this point on 44 catches,

Colston is the third player in NFL history with 700+

receiving yards through the first eight games of his

career. The others were WR Harlon Hill (802 in 1954

with the Chicago Bears) and WR Bill Groman (708,

in 1960 with the Houston Oilers).

• Colston is second in the NFL to Bush (21) with

19 catches on third down. Among all rookies, he

ranks first in yards from scrimmage (a team-high 700,

tied for 21st in the league), and his 32 first downs

leads the Saints and all NFL rookies.

• Colston leads the Saints with seven touch-

downs, which is also tied for the NFL lead lead for TD

receptions and the best total for a rookie. Colston

needs one TD to equal WR Donte’ Stallworth’s

record for rookies of eight TD grabs, set in 2002.

• He has been particularly torrid over the last two

weeks, as Colston has hauled in 17 passes for 286

yards and three touchdowns. (11 for 123 and a TD at

Tampa Bay, six catches for 163 yards and a pair of

touchdowns vs. Baltimore.) The performance against

Baltimore capped an October that led to his selection

as the NFL Rookie of the Month. Over that span,

Colston had 373 receiving yards with four touch-

downs, including an 86-yard TD at Carolina, Oct. 1

that is the longest for a rookie in club history. He had

a six-catch, 163-yard day with a pair of touchdowns

on Oct. 29 vs. Baltimore, the highest single-game

yardage total in franchise record books for a rookie.

• Colston’s six catches for 163 yards (27.2 avg.)

and two TDs vs. Baltimore was the highest yardage

total in team history for a rookie, and the 10th-best

overall in club record books. His 132-yard day vs.

Carolina in Week Four (on five catches) is the third-

highest in team history for a rookie (second: 159

yards, WR Larry Burton, Nov. 2, 1975) and also

made him the first rookie to go over 100 yards since

Stallworth posted 111 at Cincinnati on Dec. 22, 2002.

In addition, Colston narrowly missed the 100-yard

plateau in Week Three in the victory vs. Atlanta, when

he had seven grabs for 97 yards.

• His 86-yard touchdown catch at Carolina in

Week Four wass the longest for a Saints rookie, and

the fourth-longest in team history. The last players in

the NFL to have a receiving touchdown of 86 yards or

more within the first four games of their careers are

QB Mark Malone of Pittsburgh, who in his third con-

test had a 90-yard TD grab in 1981, and Detroit RB

Billy Simms, who had an 87-yard scoring catch in

his second game.

• Against Baltimore in Week Eight, WRJoe Horn

(126) and Colston (163) combined for only the sixth

contest in Saints history where two wideouts have

gone over 100 receiving yards. Colston (123 on 11

grabs) and WR Devery Henderson (111 on three)

achieved the feat again last week at Tampa Bay. It is

the first time the Saints have done so back-to-back.

DT HOLLIS THOMAS

• Now in his 11th season, the 320-pound defen-

sive tackle has opened a new chapter of his career in

New Orleans. He has started every contest and has

35 stops, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in the first

eight games. While his tackle total is third on the

defensive line, his contributions aren’t always best

measured by statistics. His strength in the middle has

helped the other linemen – DEs Will Smith and

Charles Grant; along with fellow DTs Willie

Whitehead and Brian Young – post 15 sacks at mid-

season. Thomas is on pace to have his highest tackle

total since recording 81 stops for the Eagles in 2000.

It was also the year he established his career high in

sacks with four, another mark in jeopardy by main-

taining his level of play in the first eight games for the

rest of the season.

DE WILL SMITH

• One of the Saints’ top playmakers on defense,

the rugged Smith has notched 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks,

a pair of forced fumbles and a fumble recovery thus

far this season. He is on his way to posting a career-

high in sacks, which wass the team-leading 8.5 he

had in 2005, and his coming off a career-best two

sacks last week at Tampa Bay. Smith has started 21

games in his career and played in all 40 since being

drafted 18th overall in 2004, though this is his first

year as a full-time starter.

Since arriving in New Orleans, Smith has been

particularly good at creating turnovers. He had a

stretch of five-straight games where he caused a

fumble (the final four games of his rookie season and

the 2005 opener), the lone player in team history to

achieve the feat. Smith has nine forced fumbles in his

career – including one in each of the last two con-

tests – and has three fumble recoveries.

DE CHARLES GRANT

• Smith and Grant are the backbone of the club’s

pass-rushing efforts. With 34 sacks since being

selected in the first round in 2001, Grant needs six to

move into 10th on the club’s all-time sack list and

pass DE Bruce Clark (39.5, 1981-93). Grant has four

sacks in the first eight games, along with 38 tackles

to lead the defensive line, a pair of forced fumbles

and a fumble recovery. Grant has never missed a

game in his career (72, with 60 starts).

DT BRIAN YOUNG

• Signed by the Saints as an Unrestricted Free

Agent in 2004, Young teams with Hollis Thomas and

Willie Whitehead to give the Saints a strong rotation

inside. Young ranks second on the team with 4.5

sacks, and also has 34 tackles (20 solo) and a fum-

ble recovery. Young’s sack total is already his highest

since having 6.5 in 2001. He has started all 39

games he has appeared in since coming to New

Orleans. Sundays game is expected to be the 100th

of his career.

LB SCOTT FUJITA

• While the signing of QB Drew Brees and the-

drafting of RB Reggie Bush captured all of the head-

lines in the offseason, the first free-agent signing by

the Saints once the new coaching staff was in place

was Fujita. The versatile veteran has since emerged

as the leader of the defense. Fujita is tied for the

team-high with 64 stops (37 solo) at midseason. But

it is his all-around contributions that have captured

opponent’s attention. He has 2.5 sacks, two intercep-

tions, seven passes defensed and a pair of forced

fumbles. Fujita was named the NFL Defensive Player

of the Week in Week Three after his performance vs.

Atlanta, when he posted eight stops, a sack, a pass

defensed and a forced fumble.

LB SCOTT SHANLE

• Acquired in a trade with Dallas on Aug. 23 in

exchange for a conditional draft pick, Shanle has

been an important part of the Saints’ defense since

arriving. He ranks second on the team with 64 tackles

– including a team-high 43 solo stops – and has also

forced a fumble and recorded two sacks. Shanle has

already eclipsed the career-high 50 tackles he estab-

lished in 2005 with Dallas. He is coming off one of

the top performances of the season, lauded by head

coach Sean Payton after posting a club-leading 10

tackles. Shanle is a three-down linebacker who can

blitz, cover running backs and tight ends in the pass-

ing game and fill holes in the running attacks. Three

newcomers – Fujita, Shanle and MLB Marc

Simoneau – have combined for 166 tackles through

eight contests. Shanle and Simoneau were acquired

in trades right before the regular season. Another vet-

eran newcomer, LB Danny Clark, provides quality

depth and is a quality special teams performer.

S JOSH BULLOCKS

• The second-year free safety has been one of

the club’s most consistent performers on defense

thus far this season. He leas the secondary with 54

tackles (32 solo) and also has an interception and

five passes defensed. Bullocks has started the last 21

games. CB Fred Thomas is second among the sec-

ondary with 46 stops (28 solo), has forced a fumble

and leads the team with 10 passes defensed.

The special teams have come up with a trio of

huge, game-changing plays already this season.

Against Atlanta on Sept. 25, S Steve Gleason

steamed in to block a punt on the game’s fourth play

that was recovered for a touchdown by CB Curtis

Deloatch, permanently shifting the momentum of the

contest in the 23-3 victory. For Gleason, it was the

fourth blocked punt of his career, and his first since at

Arizona, Oct. 3, 2004, which was also recovered in

the end zone for a touchdown. Gleason notched

blocked punt in 2002 and 2003.

In the second quarter vs. the Falcons, S Josh

Bullocks blocked a field goal attempt, which led to a

quick drive for field goal for the Saints that gave New

Orleans a 20-3 lead.

And against Tampa Bay in Week Five, key

blocks by Gleason, CB Jason Craft, TE Mark

Campbell and RB Aaron Stecker sprung RB Reggie

Bush on a 65-yard touchdown on a punt return. The

TD proved to be the game-winner, and Bush was

named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

K JOHN CARNEY

• Any mention of the special teams isn’t com-

plete without the inclusion of Carney, who annually

ranks as one of the NFL’s best kickers. With three

seconds remaining vs. Philadelphia, Carney booted a

31-yard field goal to lift New Orleans to a 27-24 victo-

ry at the Superdome. It was the sixth game-winner for

WORTH NOTING ON SPECIAL TEAMS


WORTH NOTING ON DEFENSE

Carney within the last 10 seconds since he joined the

club in 2001.

• Against Carolina in Week Four, Carney drilled

the 400th field goal of his career with a 31-yard boot

in the second quarter. He became the third player in

league record books to have 400 or more field goals

(now 404), joining K Gary Anderson (538) and K

Morten Andersen (531).

• Carney currently ranks seventh in NFL history

in points, with 1,696. He trails K Jan Stenerud (1,699

points) – currently in sixth – by three points and K

Nick Lowery (1,711 points, fifth) by 15. This season

Carney can become only the second kicker in Saints

history to drill 150 field goals. He needs nine made to

reach the mark and join Andersen (302, 1982-94) in

club history. Carney is 14 of 15 so far this season,

including a season-long 51-yard field goal vs. Atlanta.

He drilled a 46-yard field goal through the uprights

last week at Tampa Bay in a swirling wind.

WR/KR MICHAEL LEWIS

• Lewis came off the club’s PUP list prior to the

game vs. Baltimore on Oct. 29, giving the team the

dangerous returner on kickoffs the club had lacked.

The addition immediately paid dividends, as Lewis

shook loose for a 46-yard return that led to a Saints’

touchdown drive. The six-year veteran had been on

the shelf since suffering a season-ending knee injury

and missing the final 14 games of 2005. He currently

ranks second in team history with 214 kickoff returns

for 5,158 yards. Against Baltimore he became only

the second player in club history to record over 5,000

yards in kickoff returns, joining CB Tyrone Hughes

(5,717 yards on 229 returns). Lewis is tied with

Hughes for the most touchdowns on kickoff returns

with three.

THE LAST TIME (CONT.)

COACH SEAN PAYTON TRANSCRIPT FROM MONDAY

Opening Statement: “I was proud of the play of

some guys that hadn’t been every down players in

the past. Zach Strief dressed for the first time in a

Saints uniform and was outstanding. And all of the

sudden a player like Terrance Copper jumps into the

starting lineup because of an injury and produces.

DeJuan Groce hasn’t been playing, and he goes in

and contributes. That happens with every team, at

some point during a season. My message to the

team after the game was that I don’t know when it’s

going to happen, but at some point they’re going to

have that opportunity. I was pleased with those play-

ers that had that opportunity yesterday, along with the

effort we got from our veteran players.

Will Smith played a great game, probably his best

to date. Scott Shanle was outstanding on defense.

When we are able to force their offense into six three-

and-outs to open the game and then offensively

come away with 17 points, it is obviously a good

start. I thought Drew Brees played outstanding. It was

probably his best game to date. Give credit to Tampa

Bay, they came in with what I thought was a plan to

take away Deuce (McAllister) and Reggie (Bush).

They were effective in doing that, and we had to

make sure we were quick enough to adjust and get

the ball down the field to our wide receivers. I know it

was a challenging day in the running game. You’re

going to have those games. I was pleased with how

the quarterback played. His decision making was

good and he was accurate. Drew was cool under

pressure. On third down, we had a good day, and

that carries over to a lot of snaps on offense.

Obviously, Marques Colston and Devery Hender-

son stepped up in the passing game. Now we start

game-planning against a team that’s going to be a

big challenge for us on the road in Pittsburgh.”

Q: Were you surprised at the lack of drop off

in performance at several positions despite the

loss of some key starters?

A: “This is when you grow and young players

grow. You give them opportunities to play. It’s no dif-

ferent than what happened with Marques Colston to

start the season. Sometimes as coaches you can be

guilty or stunt a player’s growth by just sticking with

what you know. I was pleased to see those young

players step up and get an opportunity. They took

advantage of it.”

Q: Have you been around a rookie skill posi-

tion player before who has made the impact that

Marques Colston has?

A: “I think it’s hard to make comparisons between

all rookie skill position players. Here’s a young receiv-

er who has played extremely well. I think that it can

happen on the offensive line or at running back. You

see it happen occasionally at quarterback or tight

end. Jeremy Shockey make a big impact for us his

first year in New York as a rookie. I think it’s credit to

where Marques has come from and how hard he has

worked at it. Reggie Bush has had a huge impact for

us. Statistically, sometimes you say he didn’t have the

touchdowns or the catches. On Devery Henderson’s

touchdown catch, Reggie stepped up and did a great

job of protection on Ronde Barber.

HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON TRANSCRIPT (cont.)

It’s a good story because of where Marques was

selected in the NFL Draft and as late as he was

selected. I’m happy for him and I’m pleased with how

he prepares each week and the effort he gives.”

Q: Did you expect Marques would perform like

this the first time you saw him at the team’s rook-

ie minicamp?

A: “Well, at that first minicamp he was on the

ground and struggling to get through practice. I think

he really made a charge in training camp. In mini-

camp, we probably saw him as when we drafted him.

We drafted him in the seventh round. When he got to

training camp, he was in better shape. He knew what

to do. From a consistency standpoint, if you watched

each practice, all of a sudden you’re in the third or

fourth week, you’d say, “No. 12 is making a lot of

plays and he’s catching a lot of passes. I don’t know

that he’s dropped one yet.” I think we just tried to go

by what we saw, and we saw a lot of good things in

training camp.”

Q: Are you concerned that you didn’t get a lot

out of your running game?

A: “You try to be smart enough to move the ball

and score points and not necessarily say we’re going

to do one thing or the other. I want balance. We went

into yesterday’s game wanting to have some balance,

yet you have to be able to recognize what they are

trying to do defensively and how you want to react to

it. Having that flexibility is important. I thought the

running backs stepped up and did a good job in pro-

tection. I thought the line did a good job in protection.

There were no sacks of the quarterback, no turnovers

and few penalties. Those things give you the chance

to win games.”

Q: Is it a collective effort in making sure

things run smooth between you, your coaches

and Drew Brees?

A: “I rely heavily on the staff. Those guys upstairs

in the press box or down on the field give me great

information. I rely heavily on them, both offensively

and defensively. Gary (Gibbs) obviously calls the

defense. I occasionally might have some comments.

On offense, there’s a lot of input. There’s a lot of sol-

diers. There are a lot of coaches spending late nights

here to put us in good positions scheme-wise. The

thing that was encouraging yesterday was that I felt it

was one of our better team efforts from a player and

coaching staff standpoint. I think we went on the road

and played a team that regardless of their record had

just beaten Cincinnati and just finished beating

Philadelphia at home. Tampa Bay has a great tradi-

tion and they are holding last year’s division title. That

was a good win.”

Q: Can you comment on your workings and

relationship with Drew on game days?

A: “It is important. He’s around here so often and

prepares and is very thorough. I think just from a

play-caller standpoint, it helps. I want to know what

he’s comfortable with and sometimes he’ll want to

know what I’m thinking in certain situations. It’s not

just Drew and I. There’s a lot of input from the rest of

the offensive coaches. Doug Marrone starts with it.

He handles the meetings. He’s a fantastic coach who

does a great job with not only the offensive line, but

an overall coordinating effort to keep the meetings

moving forward, and keep me up to speed as to the

direction we’re going. It’s like a good law firm. There

are a lot of good ideas coming from a lot of different

attorneys, trying to put us in the best position we can

to win. I feel that way about our staff. I think our play-

ers would say the same. I felt we did a great job

defensively as well. Six three and outs to start the

game really set the tempo for us. Gary was right on

all day with some of his calls. I thought the early punt

returns were critical for us. I told John (Bonamego)

that. We were able to get good field position very

quickly and that plays a significant role in the out-

come of the game. I was happy with the way our

team played yesterday and equally as happy with the

staff and preparation.”

Q: Was there a point last week or during the

game yesterday early when this team showed you

their ability to bounce back from a loss?

A: “When we went in at halftime, all of a sudden

that lead had kind of narrowed like we were in a dog-

fight. I’m sure we all felt that way. As you watch the

game, you hate to see the lead evaporate, but you

knew Tampa Bay was going to fight back. I thought

that the way we played in the second half was

encouraging, coming off of the momentum swing. You

would say at the end of the second quarter, they had

a little bit of the momentum. The response that we

had in the third and fourth quarter was positive.”

Q: Can you discuss the cohesion of the defen-

sive unit after undergoing so many changes prior

to the start of the regular season?

A: “The challenge is when you bring in some

players that are new, you’re always working to get

chemistry. In our case we had two new linebackers

come in basically a week before the start of the sea-

son, with Mark Simoneau and Scott Shanle. There’s

some new faces in the defensive line. Hollis Thomas

wasn’t here a year ago. Probably the most continuity

has been at defensive end or in the secondary. That’s

a credit to those players in a short period of time in

getting up to speed and the coaching staff on

defense. Joe Vitt’s done a great job with the lineback-

ers and Gary’s done a great job of putting a plan in

place collectively. We have had to deal with some

injuries. We lost Roman Harper a few weeks back to

an injury and now (Omar) Stoutmire’s stepping in. I

don’t know that there’s ever a utopia where you have

your players for five or six years and you occasionally

insert a new player in a position. We had a little more

turnover than normal. I think that goes sometimes

with a new coaching staff. Credit our personnel peo-

ple and Mickey (Loomis) for being aggressive at the

end of training camp and saying that we can bring in

a Simoneau or a Shanle and we can upgrade our-

selves. Those were great additions and they’ve

served us well so far. The transition those guys have

made has been smooth and a fairly rapid one.”

Q: Can you talk about the running perform-

ance of Reggie Bush?

A: “I think he’s doing fine. I see the Reggie Meter

that’s in the newspaper and those types of things. It’s

silly. The meter is the team. We’re 6-2. The expecta-

tion level on him is no different than anyone else on

this team. We’re winning football games and he’s a

big part of why we’re wining, whether it’s in the spe-

cial teams aspect or the passing game. I’m happy

with how he’s playing. Sure there’s some things that

he wants to do differently, yet when you take a look at

what he’s seeing yesterday, he and Deuce

(McAllister), there are some tough looks and some

tough fronts to run against. What I appreciate are

guys that put the team ahead of any of their individ-

ual accomplishments. That is often difficult to do

when you’re the second player drafted and people

want to know what’s going on with Reggie Bush after

you just won 31-14 to go to 6-2.”
