Mario says he doesn't take it personally when Reggue Bush plays well - but I do. Mario needed to slam his little smurf ass to the turf a few more times.

With his razzle-dazzle hurdle over Reeves into the EZ but 24 total yards on 7 rushes for < 3.5 yards per carry, typical Bush performance, i.e., mostly hat, very little cattle. I dunno, but I suspect ESPN plays that TD all week but fails to mention his meager rushing effort from the los. A descent corner like D-Rob would have torn him in half had he tried that crap on him.
Meanwhile Slaton really impressed. Oh I know he was playing against the reserves, but then he also had reserves blocking for him. This weekend in Irving will really be interesing to watch as Slaton gets some snaps with the 1st unit against the Cowboys outstanding defense.
This Slaton had quite a college career and was rated close to McFadden among backs coming into hisr final year in school, but then he went off the radar. Had some injuries and the defesnes supposedly keyed on him which caused his Draft stock to plummit. I dunno, did we finally get lucky with a running back and get a steal in the third round ? Time will tell.
