Reggie Bush to Lions?

SmashMouth · 03-07-2013, 08:01 AM

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

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

You heard it here first,

... 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.

... 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).

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

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.
