07:45 AM ET 09.22 | The Saints will take another look at 31-year-old Ladell Betts, a 5-foot-11, 225-pounder who reportedly suffered a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament last season, in the wake of Reggie Bush's broken right leg. Betts, who spent most of the preseason with the Saints before being released on the final cut-down day, will come in for a workout, a league source confirmed.

Does it matter, just get someone to fill the role.

That might slow down their offense, if he doesn't produce.

That rookie TE of theirs can fill the role better than Betts can. Why tie up a roster slot on this guy?

It's amazing sometimes the recycling process after the season gets started.

Even with Bush, the Saints offense has looked very ordinary the first two weeks.

It's like the Saints have come down with a case of JasonGarrettitis. That's not a good thing!

lots of injuries to start this season... is this the 'new' NFL? players playing half the season and then being on PUP or IR?
I wonder what will happen with an 18 game schedule...

This guy will not slow down the Saints offense. He will do just enough to keep the defense honest....so they won't pin their ears back and come after Drew. Besides Bush wasn't a great running back, he was more flash than power. This guy has the build to hit the holes and move the pile. The Saints will be fine...Bush could be out for the rest of the year and it will not hurt this team.

They just saw him two weeks ago in camp. They really need to "bring him in to work out"?

Fun year this year who is going to look good? No one from last year that is for sure. Either the league is super competitive his year or the good teams are not motivated early.

For the role Bush has in the Saints offense, Danny Woodhead might be a good fill-in if the Pats let him go.

This is from wikipedia,
"According to a report on NFLDraftWatch.net, he ran the 40-yard dash in a time of 4.33 to 4.38 seconds which would have been the second-fastest among all running backs at the NFL Combine in March 2008. He posted the best pro-agility time of 4.03 seconds, the second-best vertical jump (38?? inches) and the best 60-yard shuttle time (11.2 seconds)"

Bush always seemed a bit brittle coming out....the scouts all pegged him as a specialty player....not an every down back. All that jukin and shakin bakin will work in college....the pros are much too big and fast for Reggie to utilize his groove thing.....the pros want a back going north and south....running over people and getting the tough yards to move the chains. He even returned the Heisman....sheesh....his karma has left the building.

They're some back-to-back winners of the S.B. but I'm thinking N.O. wasn't going to be one of them. They should just enjoy this year as champs
