i'm not saying reggie is going to carry defensive tackles on his back into the end zone; i'm just saying that he's a very evasive guy and he is much stronger than he looks

if ur going to go by weight then in that case westbrook must be easy to tackle too because he weighs the same as reggie. what about adrian peterson? he weighs about 10-12 pounds more than reggie. tiki must have been easy to take down, since he not only weighs a hair more than reggie, but hes 2 inches shorter!

see where im goign with this?

ps: actually, reggie gets the most yards when he runs up the middle.

Back on topic.

I'll repeat what I said before. Reggie needs to get stronger to see his full potential. When I asked about his weight, you compared him to Brian Westbrook? - why? Brian is 5'10, Reggie is 6'. Though their weights are the same, Brian is shorter. So Brian has more muscle. Adrian Peterson is 6'1 - 217lbs. Adrian has more muscle. Tiki was 5'10 - 205lbs. Tiki had more muscle. Is the pattern clear?

For the second point, you said that Reggie gets most of his yards running up the middle. What? Reggie gets his yards in space, where his elusiveness can be employed. He gets his yards via trickery (draws, delays, end around, pitch out, etc) or via passes to the flat, screens, etc. He's not a power runner, never has been. He's just not strong enough to do the type of work Deuce or Pierre does.

But back to my original point... if he'll just fix that, just work on the weights instead of doing this free-floh-doh crap, then this kid will be truly amazing. He'll realize his full potential - which will make all this Mario talk go bye-bye.

can anyone help me id this tune? it goes thwap thwap boom tch boom tch boom tch.

Reggie is something special. Hes not the type of guy who gets all involved in the media hype. He doesn,t talk alot of smack. He spends countless hours going over tapes of his past performances, and he has just recently given his dedication back to the game 100%. Reggie has blessed the Neworleans community with something it hasn,t had in a very long time "HOPE". I agree, this is going to be the year where he shows us what hes made of. Remember what his coaches said in college. Reggie is on of the most competitive players they have ever seen. CVoming from a person like myself i can relate to that. Trust me, competitive people never stay down long. GOOOOOO REGGIE!!!!!!

Well....I wasn't going to say anything, because I am first & foremost a Saints fan. But....the Texans have every right to take their shots. They were plastered by the media for taking Mario Williams over Reggie Bush. Since then, Mario Williams (who I honestly didn't like) has emerged as one of the league's top pass rush DE's. Reggie....well... let's just say, hasn't quite lived up to the hype. As for Reggie being hard to tackle....hahaha!!!! Sorry, but like LOE has brought up....the dude goes down on the first contact! As a matter of fact, I remember getting pissed off over a Reggie interview where he was saying he knows when to go down to prolong his career. Dude....you're a RB!!! You're supposed to fight for extra yards. That's what RB's do. Please excuse my rant, but I have been dissappointed with Bush as a player & a person since last year.

I am with you Ganhdi. I was leaving this one alone till now.
bush does have to learn when the time is right not to go down so easy and when to fight for the extra yardage. remember if Bush fought for ever yard he would be side lined for 2 to 4 games a year. He is not built for it. We knew that when we drafted him.
But do not doubt his toughness. At the goal line he goes all out and put his body on the line.

no, thats not what happened lol. the texans had a deal worked out with both of the players. period.

CantonLegend

alright then man i gotta ask...where is ur proof....u been talking like u know what its about...now u gotta put up or shut up...no offense...i think you're out there in left field tho

RickyInKenner

CantonLegend

ok well assuming one doesnt have NFL network....and assuming that everything that everbody says in the NFL is true....where would one go to find such a statement? i.e. a link perhaps?

RickyInKenner

i could try and find it if i can remember what they were discussing lolol

i think they were talking to him about pre draft contracts if u have the #1 pick. ima try and look. i have nothing to gain by lying tho.
