Merged: Reggie Bush

[fishypete]

All in the name of the game....

Reggie Bush is a little better version of Brian Westbrook. A good NFL player. Not a dominant player.

 

[fishypete]

Size hes a little taller than the average NFL back (typically 5'8" to 5'11") and about the average weight (between 205-215). Endurance wise he's on the field plenty, he just doesnt get the carry all the time. Endurance wise he sees plenty of 4th quarter action anyway. Sharing carries with Davis will allow him time to adjust to the NFL game and build those traits up further.

In college he didn't get hit alot....in the NFL....He'll get hit hard and often.

Not saying Texans won't ultimately take Bush #1 but this article makes more sense than the ESPN article from last week.

Of course they arent guarenteeing they will take him, A that would redcue their options, would hurt in the contract negotiations as well. If Bush nows unequivocantly the Texans are drafting him, he can be harder in his stance. Since Houston has the #1 and could take a player from a choice of three, it is to their advantage to play their choice off on the other 3, especially when NO is sitting next and noone wants to go there with their situation the way it is right now. One advantage in having teh #1 pick is you can negotiate with the player before the draft and have a contract in place when the pick is made. If you keep all your options open, you can give yourself an neg tool. If you tell a player w/o condition he is teh pick and then dont, you get a bad rep among players and noone wants to negotiate with you causing you to lose out on players. It is not a rep teams want. By saying it isnt a guarentee but that you believe right now that is where you are going, leaves you an out.

I have a gut feeling that The JEts are gonna trade up an grab him

I just don't understand why people on here put so much stock on what they read and hear.Nobody know what's gonna happen on draft day....is always been like that and is always gonna be like that.

Ozzy rules!!

Looks like the Carr rumors are just that...rumors. Im shocked Houston bypasses Young...if Bush doesnt pan out....its gonna get real ugly in the lone star state.

If somehow they went with Young and he didnt pan out, its would be just as ugly for the lone star state....its a crap shoot, and needs indicate a OL over RB or QB so not sure if they arent rolling the dice either way vs. taking Ferguson over both of them and sucking it up with 1st pick money to a lineman.

Presuming they dont trade down and still take DF!

 

[BigDogsHunt]

They are so much better off trading the pick for more draft picks... From a football decision standpoint, this pick would make no sense at all in my opinion... They're better off trading down to #4 or #5 and taking D' Brickashaw....

:yeahthat:

Thats BS, RB's get hit hard and often regardless of the level of play. Its the nature of the position.

This is true but how often does Bush run between the tackles a game?

 

[Motion]

Did ytou just call Reggie Bush a 3rd down/change of pace back? That's just silly.

So your saying you think he can be a dominant between the tackles every down back in the NFL?

 

[Boik14]

This is true but how often does Bush run between the tackles a game?

actually USC did make it a focus in their offense to let Reggie prove he could do it. It was written up before the season started because the media's rumor mill was saying reggie couldnt run between the tackles.

He can certainly do at least what Marshall Faulk did in terms of running between the tackles Look im no bush fan but this is getting ridiculous. This guy is not Blair Thomas revisited

Only one way to find out.
