The New Triplets of the NFL
Hunter Ansley at FoxSports is analyzing the NFL for the new set of "Triplets" like the Hall of Fame Cowboys - Aikman, Irvin and Smith. Here is what Ansley is saying about the Super Bowl Champs: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Marques ColstonIt doesn’t matter who lines up under center, out wide, or in the backfield. When the Saints win the Super Bowl, all three deserve mention on any list of special triplets. Of course, anonymity is something the Saints don’t have to deal with anymore. Drew Brees knocked off Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning in succession to win ring number one for New Orleans. And Marques Colston is the wide receivers’ answer to Tom Brady. But Reggie Bush hasn’t been exactly what Saints’ fans hoped for when he was taken second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft. That’s the new NFL, though. Workhorse feature backs toting the rock 30+ times a game are dying off faster than the 4-3, and Bush fits the new mold. No, he’s no threat to top 1000 yards on the ground, but his overall contributions as a returner, runner, and receiver make the Saints triplets appear to be four or five men strong.Of course the article mentioned more sets in the league.
