texans take a swipe at reggie......

pakowitz · 05-01-2008, 09:44 PM

its not that i dont think he couldnt use more strength but if he just used a lil more patience, his running would improve considerably..

I don't buy this "he gets his yards up the middle" stuff either. Prove it. Show me a stat that says his yards per carry are higher up the middle than they are with offtackle or screen passes. Prove it.

Reggie gets his yards by eluding tacklers - not by running over them.

i hate doing this but im dismissing just about everything ricky says as false....i wish reggie would bulk up a little just to get some meat on his bones...i like the way he runs and i wouldnt want him to get too heavy...nobody wants him to be a jerome bettis but i think its too much to ask of him to be an up the middle guy....the only thing he needs to work on is dropping the ball....he can get a yard or two just cuz he's reggie but ball possession is vital

like i said playa just go look at reggies situational stats on yahoo. and why would i lie about casserly? lol what is to gain? idc at all im just wondering what you think i would gain by saying that the texans had a contract in place when they actually didnt.

Reading this board si starting to remind me of an episode of Jerry Springer.

IMHO, Reggie's success, or lack thereof, seems to be hinged on several things:

1) Failure to wait for blocking to develop
2) Rushing E-W instead of looking for N-S yardage
3) Bad/ Cute/ Predictable play calling (ie. screen or pass into the flats which EVERY CB in the NFL is looking for now)
4) Lack of vision and seeing the WHOLE field (ie. Westbrook) when he's running

Alter any or all of these things and you just might see Bush blow it up this year.

In other words Reggie is playing too fast and needs to slow down.

I know he'll never be a Jerome Bettis, and I'm not asking him to be. But he needs to add another 10lbs. I don't want to see anymore arm tackles on this guy.

Well, 10lb's of crawfish turned into an extra chin and love hanldes wasn't what I had in mind. lol Maybe we can turn him into a nose tackle though.

Ricky, you're the one that keeps saying "Reggie is better between the tackles", yet multiple people are calling you out on that. You refuse to back up your statement with any link, which you say you have, but don't care enough to share. I'm sorry, but your credibility is suffering on this board.

lol then we waisted a pick on ellis....dang.....seriously tho...i think if reggie is serious about showing what he really can do he will bulk up.....no doubt...he needs some weight...unfortunately i think his injuries could hurt him....i know i was getting looked at by scouts for baseball and i sprained my ankle and never saw another scout so some little injuries can come back to bite u....i hope his quickness wasnt effected because then the word bust will be tossed around a lot
