The Facts:
Bush is already comfortable in the Lions offense. The dynamic running back said on Friday morning that the comfort with his new team stems from the familiarity to his first NFL offense. "As far as from an offensive perspective it's a lot like what we did in New Orleans," Bush said of the team he won a Super Bowl with in 2009. "It's a lot of spread-open passing. Obviously we can attack downfield, and with the running game, a lot of screens, draws and stuff like that. Basically what I did in New Orleans, so running this offensive system has been pretty easy for me."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bush said the proliferation of wide-open offenses in the NFL fits right into his game. "I've always enjoyed being in the position that I am and doing what I do, being able to split out wide and catch balls so it's great that offenses are going toward that direction," Bush said. As NFL.com's Kevin Patra suggests, Bush will add the dynamic element to the Lions and leave the 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust plays to Mikel Leshoure. It's also a good thing Bush likes catching passes. With questions in the Lions' receiving corps, he might have to do even more outside of the backfield than he did with the Saints.
