il coach su Bush:
Did you make a conscious effort during the season to rest Reggie Bush in hopes that he would be fully healthy for the playoffs?
“The key is having your guys at full strength and we did feel like in his case he was completely healthy and he has looked real sharp in practice of late. A few months ago I told him, ‘Just keep chopping the wood and keep working hard; you’re too explosive of a player.’ Yesterday he had good energy and good effort and he made some big plays for us to help us win.”
What kind of strides has he made in running between the tackles?
“He’s a guy that has worked very hard. Each year he has matured and he’s very competitive and looks forward to these big moments and is someone who rises to these opportunities. I was pleased with him yesterday, not only on the punt return, but he had a real good grasp on the overall offensive plan.”
