Reggie Bush - WR

mjf150 · 12-17-2007, 12:00 PM

If Duece comes back next year with the Saints, do you think it would be a bad idea to use Reggie primarily as a Wideout? I like Reggie alot, and I often find myself defending him, but I think having him opposite of Colston, with Duece and PT in the backfield, would be dangerous.

We have no idea how Deuce will recover from his injury. Bush was drafted to be a franchise back... it's only 2 years into his development. No need to give up and make him into a receiver. He's dangerous the way we were using him... he just wasn't as effective this year.

I'm not ready to give up on him either, that is why I said "primarily". I still think he can be effective in the RB position. However, I think that most of the difficulty Reggie has had is finding open space. I believe that as a WR, he would be in open space more often, and that is where he is most dangerous to the opponents.

The problem though is RB's tend to get hurt much more often than WR's. I think Reggie should be used like last year, HE IS NOT A FRANCHISE RB. A Peteson(MIN), LT, M Lynch, McGahee, Gore, Portis, those guys are Franchise RB's. Bush is a franchise player, but should not be confined to a RB role, when he can do so much more and we can hopefully keep him healthier as a non full time RB.

Actually the Chicago Adrian Peterson had his name legally changed to "The Other Adrian Petersen."

Somthing I've wondered a lot about is why we never see Reggie on deep routes. It's always swing passes and underneath stuff. How many guys in the NFL can run with Reggie? 10, maybe? Why not send him deep? SC did it.

He wasn't drafted to be a feature back...
He was drafted to sale jerseys. He was NEVER a feature back in College why would you draft a guy to be a feature back who wasn't in college. He sales jerseys. Its was a business draft pick is all it was.

Reggie is a slashing slot WR and a alternating RB and Returner. That is what Reggie is.

This must have been the millionth time you've said this... literally. I already know how you feel about Bush... no need to repeat yourself over and over.

Its still true.
Still needed to be said when you call him a feature back, I figure I'd at least put a disclaimer there.

That's college football WhoDat205... linebackers these days that can run with Reggie.
