I've seen Reggie run "through the Tackles" more than plenty of times to know he can do it. Let's get off the tired ole cliches already. He picks up 6-10 yards running up the middle, when he gets adequate blocking. Give him a break, it's not all his fault. Deuce is just more experienced and knows how to make something out of nothing, Reggie hasn't gotten to that point yet.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: ***Is Payton pushing Bush to har
once reggie gets his first touch down he will be fine. right now he is just trying way too hard to bust the big one. his first touchdown will do a lot to calm him down.
i would like to see payton call more up the middle runs for reggie and tell him just to drive to the hole and make his moves once he gets to the other side. |

And the plays Reggie are running to the outside, aren't sweeps. They are Reggie trying to make the corner in the NFL. If they were sweeps, there's be blockers in front on at least some of them. But they aren't. It's usually Reggie in space dancing. I'd feel better if we ran more stretch type plays for him, like Indy used to run for Edge James. Just kinda have the linemen block on an angle and let Reggie choose a hole, but staying close to the LOS. I also don't think though we will run effectively until we take shots deep to back off the safeties and LBs. That could be another issue. |

I think Bush's only problem is that he dances too much. When he realizes he needs to hit the holes when they are there he'll be fine.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: ***Is Payton pushing Bush to hard?***
I think Bush's problem is that he's a rookie. Even after four games, there's a tremendous "pace of the game" difference and he's still getting used to a differen playbook and set of blockers. He looks incredibly comfortable running screens and underneath passes, and it has the advantage of getting him in space AND making him more effective as a decoy. As good as he's been for the offense, things can only get better for him and the rest of the offense. The first time the opposing defense doesn't respect his ability will be the first time he scores. Colston has been oustanding, but Reggie's abilities are opening things up for everyone else.

Colston stands a good chance to be ROY, but I believe his success is owed in part to the attention that Bush recieves on every play.
