Re: The Truth About Reggie

If Warrick Dunn could make a career in the NFL, I KNOW Reggie can. Dunn is 5"9, 187. Reggie is 5"11, 203. Reggie is listed at 6"0 but everyone who's seen him says he's a tad shy of 6 feet. So he's taller AND weighs more than someone who has rushed for over 10,000 yards and averages 4.1/carry over a 10 year career. He's also faster than Dunn, and a lot more shifty.

So what's the difference? Well.. Bush doesn't follow blockers as well. Those are things that can be corrected. Granted, it's taken way too long to get them corrected up until this point. Eventually, he'll get it though. Trial and error is underrated as a means of teaching people things.

If a kid touches a hot stove, he probably won't touch it again. The NFL learning curve is a little bit more complex than that - however, he has wayyyyy too much physical talent, good coaching, and determination to not "eventually" get it corrected.

I would give him another full year, maybe two as the starting RB. If he's not producing 1,200 yard + seasons by the end of 09, then you can officially call him a bust - but not yet.
