Understood and a truly legitimate concern...
But in all honesty, should McCallister fail then I believe that Aaron Stecker can handle things "enough" to allow them to not be a pass only club. I know he has never been an everydown back...but I think he can be in a limited role.
Bush will never be a guy that runs for big yards...especially between the tackles, but his presence alone means the opposing D has to account for him, there by taking away the 8th man in the box. That should open up lots of things for Brees...especially with Shockey there.
Or they could go 4-12 and I am completely wrong.....but I just have a feeling about them this season.
