Give me this match-up all day. If you do have a LB that can run with Reggie, get them for our team, we need that freak.

I agree send him on a deep route now and then. I think there is an element of surprise to it, and I don't think there are too many LB's who could keep pace. The only unknown is whether or not he is willing to go up and fight for the ball.

YouTube - 2006 Pro Day Reggie Bush 4.33s 40 Yard Dash

I disagree, papz. He ran a 4.33 in 06. That's what Calvin Johnson ran at the combine. Can LB hang with him?

Here's a list of the top five 40 times for LBs in the league today:

1) Manny Lawson (4.43 @ 2006 NFL Combine)

2) Teddy Lehman (4.48 @ 2004 NFL Combine)

3) Ernie Sims (4.50 @ 2006 NFL Combine)

4) Patrick Willis (4.51 @ 2007 NFL Combine)

5) Adalius Thomas (4.51)

Linebacker

The closest one to Reggie is 0.10 seconds slower. Now if they have an angle on an underneath route, then maybe they can catch him, but in the open field when Reggie knows the route, a LB is screwed.

Not saying it couldn't hurt to do it every now and then nor am I saying it wouldn't work... but just because it worked at SC doesn't mean it will work in the NFL. A majority of things that worked at USC has not translated into success here for him.

pump fake the screen and run the streak. If O-line protects its TD the first time they run it. Like the only time we sent reggie deep on wheel route in NFC champ. TD

Henderson walks away FA then maybe Bush can do spot duty flanked out on the edge.

Now see this goes back to you having trouble understanding things. I said he was drafted to be a franchise back. When you draft a player that high, they're usually looked upon being a franchise player... someone you build around. I didn't call him a franchise back... but since we're on the subject, I do believe he will develop into one in time.

He certainly wasn't drafted just to sell jerseys because that absolutely retarded. He was drafted to help us win games.

Well it would also be retarded to think that drafting Reggie was a football decision because there were other players in other areas we needed more than another feature RB.

How many games did we win last year and how important was he to our team? Also do you understand what drafting the BPA means?

Nevermind it goes in one ear, gets rejected, and goes out the same ear. Man... sometimes you really have to wonder if he's just playing around.
