If you take away Bush's 44 yrd run, it is 5 rushes for 15 yards.
At the half... it's TEN 10 NO 6.
Stats for the #2 and #3 picks at halftime:
Bush, 6 rushes 59 yards, 2 catches 10 yards
Young, 1/4 14 yards 0 TD 0 INT, 2 rushes 15 yards
If you take away Bush's 44 yrd run, it is 5 rushes for 15 yards.
If you take away Vince's only completion he's 0-3. It's a moot point, Bush has a 44 yards run, Young has a completion. No "taking away" plays in football.
Yes but just saying.
That's the dangerous thing about Bush. He can suck all game, but deliver a home run to pay dirt.
Looks like Reggie is done for the day, but Vince is still in.
3/8 37 yards, 3 rush 23 yards
No sign of Dough Boy LenDale
mah bush doin it live
Looks like Vince is done too.
Final line: 4/11 56 yards, 4 rushes 28 yards.
Is LenDale hurt, or just down to 5th on the depth chart already? He'll be a bust of Ron Dayne proportions in this league.
Interesting note from the Saints- ans game...

Saints QB hurt by collision with mascot
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 12, 2006) -- New Orleans quarterback Adrian McPherson went to the locker room early in the third quarter after a golf cart ridden by the ans' mascot hit him at the end of halftime.
A Saints spokesman wasn't immediately available for an update on the quarterback, who's heading into his second season.
The mascot was riding on a golf cart and throwing items into the stands during halftime, and was heading off the field when the Saints were returning from their locker room for the third quarter.
The cart hit McPherson, who stayed on the field for a few minutes being checked out by a trainer on the sideline. He then walked off the field.
Read on another message board Vince may be hurt... anyone know what happened?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Reggie Bush looks every bit as good in the NFL as he did at Southern California.
Vince Young is a fan favorite, but needs to learn when to throw the ball away.
Todd Bouman tossed a 22-yard touchdown pass to Lance Moore with 3:30 left, and the Saints rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Tennessee ans in coach Sean Payton's coaching debut.
Bush needed all of two carries to show why New Orleans took him with the second pick overall. Stopped behind the line while going to his left, the Heisman Trophy winner bounced out, turned right and zoomed past two ans up the sideline for 44 yards to the Tennessee 24. He finished with 59 yards on six carries.
"He can bring big plays, and he had a couple of nice runs," New Orleans coach Sean Payton said.

John Carney and Connor Hughes each added a pair of field goals in a game featuring two of the top three picks in this year's draft.
Young, the No. 3 pick overall, showed off his strong arm by throwing a pass 50 yards in the air into the hands of Roydell Williams -- who couldn't hold on. He was 4-of-11 for 56 yards and ran four times for 28 yards.
The star out of Texas also failed to throw away the ball as he scrambled right looking for a receiver and ran out of bounds for a 6-yard loss in the fourth quarter for one of two sacks. He then scared the fans still left after Saints end Javon Norton yanked him down from behind.
Young walked gingerly to the bench and was examined by a team doctor. He watched the rest of the game from the bench.
Rob Bironas kicked three field goals, including a 48-yarder, and Travis Henry added a 1-yard touchdown for Tennessee. But with the ans' defense unable to stop the Saints in the second half, it wasn't enough.
LenDale White, the third member of the trio from last January's Rose Bowl, didn't even dress for the ans after spitting on a teammate Thursday. He had to stand on the bench for a better view after originally being slated for a quarter of playing time.
Billy Volek filled in well enough in his first start as the ans' starter of the moment with Steve McNair now in Baltimore and Young waiting his turn on the bench. Volek was 4-of-7 for 55 yards and left early in the second quarter with a 10-6 lead.
Chris Brown, whose agent has threatened a walkout without a trade or extension, carried only nine times for 47 yards for Tennessee.
New Saints starter Drew Brees looked a little rusty early and settled down in completing 5 of 9 passes for 60 yards.
"I like what I saw, and it was important for Drew to get back on the field," Payton said.
Brees tossed a 9-yard pass to Bush when the Saints got an assist from ans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones.
The cornerback celebrated stopping Bush at the sideline by jumping in the rookie's face, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct even as ans coach Jeff Fisher tried to intervene. Jones broke up a Brees pass to Chris Horn on third-and-7 at the Tennessee 8 to hold the Saints to a 26-yard Carney field goal.
"You've got to celebrate with your own guys," Fisher said. "There's a lot of things to learn from this."
he got suspended for this game for spitting in a teammates face in practice or something like that.
Is that an old USC/Fresno State highlight???
Meanwhile... Mario Williams gets dominated by Willie Roaf's replacement.
There is a reason the Texans suck...
...this is getting ridiculous. how about we just take away every big run Bush has ever had in a game? will that you make "you" guys happy? geez....
Why do people have to have long sigs that up the forum?...this is getting ridiculous. how about we just take away every big run Bush has ever had in a game? will that you make "you" guys happy? geez....
Thanks, I was beginning to forget how ing stupid the Texans were.
if you take away robert horry being in the right place at the right time he has 0 rings.......
Sour Kings fan?
Sour Kings fan?
nope, just trying to make you realize how dumb you sound.....
If you take away the 2006 Rose Bowl, Vince Young never won a national champiosnhip.
If there were any doubts about Bush's ability to perform at the NFL level, he just put em all to bed. Reversing the field on a totally busted play for a big gainer. Brings back memories of Barry Sanders. I'd be REALLY pissed right now if I were Texans fan.
But... but... Mario Williams had one assist on a tackle!
