Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

For the past week there has been some buzz that free agent running back Reggie Bush could be bolting South Beach for the Motor City. Bush is reportedly gaining serious interest from the Detroit Lions and he would be a perfect fit for the Lions offense. Tuesday morning on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning, NFL analyst John Clayton furthered the speculation that Bush be the top target for Detroit. After discussing some upcoming free agents and the level of interest they will generate, Clayton closed out by saying Bush is one of the more interesting situations to watch but he could see him winding up in Detroit. Clayton also added that the price tag for Bush would not be too expensive.

Hmm might be a good fit. His running game will help thier passing game and vice versa...

Good fit IMO
I like the Lions too... dunno why but I like em.

And Miami don't want him in their backfield why?

Well the Head Coach is supposedly P***ed off at Reggie for dancing around in the backfield and not making one cut decisions, hmm where have I heard that before

Re: Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

+1. Yeah, juking and jiving for a 3 yard gain gets old after a while.

You heard it here first, :lol: ... they were talking around Detroit like it was a done deal three weeks ago, I kid you not. IDK, it's just the kind of band-aid solution the Lions always seem to gravitate towards, but I guess I'm warming up to the idea, I suppose. :rolleyes: ... I guess I should be grateful, at least they're presenting the illusion of trying to fix the run game & (hopefully) not trotting Kevin Smith out there another season ... or half-season, whatever number of games he manages to stay healthy enough to play in.

If this happens Slo-Mo, go have your blood pressure pills increased if you take them.
Toward the end of Reggie's time here in NO, I would actually climb under my seat in the dome on punts (and that is a feet believe me).

Re: Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

Not only punt returns lol

screen passes where he'd run out of bounds a yard short of the first down
Running side ways on punts and getting the ball stripped e.g vs dallas 2010 - almost cost us the game
Fumbling the punt in 2009 in the NFCCG

man could we have a long list! lmao

LOL so he not going to help LOL

Re: Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

I expect Reggie to end up with the Patriots and have a career year. The Lions should focus on signing Steve Jackson and ride him for 2 years.

I think the Patriots are pretty good with Ridley.He hits the line pretty hard and picks up them short/goal line yards.
Why pay Bush big money when Ridley,Vereen and re-sign Woodhead.

Re: Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

Oh, he'll help ... but it's more a reflection on the sad state of affairs in the Lions backfield. With Reggie Bush, everyone always refers back to his college days & that he's won a SuperBowl (which was a poor year for him), but I look at his time in NO & wonder why it took going to Miami for him to have a decent season in the NFL. Is he a little bit of a prima donna? Just what the Lions need, :rolleyes:. Another concern is that he'll want to be paid big bucks before banging out big yardage. His last two seasons in Miami were his best, but past performance is not indicative of future results, and he's only had one season rushing for a 1,000yds. I got a feeling Detroit will give him a big contract & he'll be a bust like he was in NO ... just a hunch.

I like the Steve Jackson suggestion better, I also like his running style better ... 1,000yd seasons over most his career and he's stayed with the same team that drafted him ... that's important because I don't think the Rams have had a winning season since drafting him and it shows he has the character to go out & get the job done despite being on a mediocre team, a situation any RB going to Detroit is going to face.

Re: Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

What do you think of Leshoure?
Wouldnt the Lions be better with a quicker pass catching back?
Somebody like Woodhead with be a good cheap option,catches out the backfield can return kicks.Either that or a player like Bell or Latimore assuming his injury has healed from the draft

I do like Jackson,since i saw a documentary on him on youtube

Re: Reggie Bush to Lions?
 

I like Leshoure, he runs straight ahead & is capable of getting the tough yards when you need 'em. Same with Joique Bell, he's durable & reliable. The Lions are looking for that explosive, break-away back & I'm not sure if Reggie Bush is the answer, or if that's what they really need. Their offensive line is notorious for it's poor run blocking. If you're Barry Sanders, you do Ok behind the Lions offensive lines, but Reggie Bush is no Barry Sanders, am I right?

I don't think Woodhead gives them any more 'big play' potential then they already have, which is what they're looking for & why they'll go after Reggie Bush, <sigh> ...
