"I actually think they're both (No. 1s) and I think it's a great deal we got going here," said Cable. The two backs have complementary strengths and weaknesses, so a tandem effort seemed like the best play all along. Expect Bush to handle the majority of the between-the-tackles work in a near 50-50 split in touches. "My motto is, 'You call it, I'll haul it,'" said Bush.
