It was one of the most anticipated pro debuts in a while, but New Orleans RB Reggie Bush, the second player taken at the 2006 draft, didn’t disappoint when he suited up for his first live NFL game action last night in the Saints’ 19-16 pre-season win over Tennessee. Bush carried 6 times for 59 yards, including a scintillating 44-yard run when he started off left tackle, changed direction when the point of attack was blocked, and outran the defense back around the right side.

Young got a scare on his last play when a Saint rolled over his ankle, but he is being reported as fine this morning. While Bush and Young made rather seamless pro debuts, there was also plenty of controversy in Houston. Bush’s former USC teammate and current Titan RB LenDale White was not dressed for Tennessee as punishment for an incident in practice last week when he allegedly spit at Titans’ DB Donnie Nickey. Then there was the Titans’ mascot who managed to run into New Orleans QB Adrian McPherson with his cart after half time. Meanwhile, Houston DE Mario Williams, the first player selected at this year’s draft, had a very quiet pro debut, posting just a ½ tackle in the Texans’ win over Kansas City, in what was described as a ‘tentative’ game for the former North Carolina State star.....
