Reggie Bush of old showed up yesterday in the playoff game against the Cards. Reggie Bush set the tone for the Saints before they even kicked off though. He took coach Sean Payton’s symbolic gesture of giving the players baseball bats inscribed “Bring the wood” one step further by carrying his bat with him as he and the team ran on the field during pre-game introductions. The Saints runner/receiver/punt returner had 217 all-purpose yards — 84 rushing, 24 receiving, and 109 on punt returns — and scored touchdowns on a 46-yard run (the longest run by a Saint in the playoffs) and an 83-yard punt return. Bush had seldom seemed like the same player for most of the past two years because of a knee injury suffered last season. Darren Sharper said that Bush looked like ''vintage'' Reggie Bush and I couldn't agree any more.
