Reggie Bush

scedotal · 10-08-2007, 06:04 AM

Reggie did ok in his first game as the featured back. 3 yards per carry is not very impressive, but Carolina has a decent defense. The jury is still out on him as a featured back, but he deserves a couple more games. It is concurring that we seemed to abandon the inside running game.

i thought reggie was ok but one area he needs to improve is hitting the chip block before going out on his check down pattern.

This will probably sound stupid, but I think Reggie accelerates too quickly to the hole. If you watch other runners they save that burst for when they get to the hole to blow past the LBs and DL. Reggie hits it at full speed and nothings had time to develop.

LOL..Sterling Sharpe said the same thing one time. He said that RB is just too fast for his own good. Truth is....I thought he did well yestarday. Nothing foolish or fancy. He got positive yardage practically every time he touched the ball. Oh, and he held on to it as well. This season.....due to circumstances....Bush is gonna learn a lot and thats only good for us.

LOLOL....sorry to burst your bubble. But yeah....he said he is too fast and sometimes that speed does not allow him to see plays fully develop. He even demonstrated it.

You and I are fishin in the same pond, I also feel that his burst of speed comes to early, he needs to wait for the holes to open and get through the hole and then run his butt off, if I were him I would put my hand on my blockers back and follow him until the time was right to cut away.
He'll learn in time..

You know, the hand on the back thing sounds good. Seems to me like there was somebody several years ago that used to do that. It worked for them to the best of my memory. Of course that was many beers and a lot more grey matter ago.

The hand on the back thing takes patience, something he's lacking right now but that will come in due time.

He isn't a feature back nor should ever be. When he gets in the hole he doesn't keep driving forward when its gets bunched up he tries to dance and take off to the side and runs in to his own blockers... I know own blockers sounds funny since there aren't really any. There were a couple of plays that caused him to do down after tunning into the big guys that were just standing around wearing the same uniform.
