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

two points here:

1.) i havent said reggie is better between the tackles. i said that his YPC is higher when he runs through the middle.

2.) stop being incredibly lazy and go find them yourself. just google "reggie bush situational stats" and you should find your proof.

In regards to your first point, no, what you actually said was "ps: actually, reggie gets the most yards when he runs up the middle." That is a quote from you. The problem with that statement is that it is %100 incorrect. Reggie gets the most yards when he catches passes - not when he runs up the middle. And we all know that he gets more yards there because it puts him in space, just as I (and others) have been saying all along.

In regards to your second comment, lazy? No, that wasn't the reason we asked you to post your link. I ALREADY knew what Reggie's situational stats looked like. I wanted YOU to prove your point, which you did not. In a nutshell, Canton and I were calling you out. Show us your proof.

Reggie's career stats up the middle are NOT his best statistic. Oh, we know his rushes between the tackles improved in 2007, we know that. But it was AWFUL in 2006. The coaches have learned (the hard way) that Reggie cannot be used as a power back. So now they're using draw plays and delays when running him up the middle, which they weren't doing enough of in 2006. The net result is his YPC is improving up the middle, but that's not because he can punch his way through the line, it's because the coaches have learned he can't be a power back.

But all this goes back to my original post in this thread... what I've been saying all along. Reggie Bush's main weakness is that he simply isn't strong enough to run through tackles. When a lineman gets a hand on him, he goes down too easily. If he would just strengthen up, then the nay sayers out there would have nothing left to gripe about. All this talk of Mario being the better pick would be finished. THAT was the point I was trying to make.
