The Saints running back had a tough year in 2007, failing to improve on a promising rookie season and missing the last four games with a knee injury.
His first step in trying to get better is staying in New Orleans for the off-season. Last year, he went back to southern California, and he said it didn't give him the best opportunity to succeed during the regular season.
Saints coach Sean Payton, a big believer in off-season conditioning (thanks in part to working under Bill Parcells in Dallas), urged Bush to stick around N'Awlins.
