with # 25 and #26 both in the backfield it could be confusing for the defense
"am i gonna get run over or run by?"

I, like many others are eager to get a Reggie Bush jersey, but are there any others who are worried about him trying to change his number to 5 next year? The article quotes Ornstein saying that they will try again next year to get the rule changed. That would leave a whole bunch of #25 jersey owners unhappy.

Exactly why I am waiting until after the NFL meetings to see if they will allow the change in the future. If they say they will change the rule for 2007, like I said before, I am buying the Bush 5 right off this year.

Not a big deal if Bush gets to wear #5 next year. The #25 will STILL be his rookie jersey, and will probably be a vintage "hot item" if he gets to change to #5 in the future. My opinion is he should embrace 25 and just run with it. Even if he can wear 5 in the future, he should stick with 25 from here on out.
