Re: Reggie
 

THE BIG difference is that Bell contributed to WINS!!! Bush's contributions have been keeping the other team in the game! Give me a break if Bush was actually helping this team then a fumble here and there could be overlooked. Brees wins games... he has INT's but who cares he far makes up for his mistakes.

Bush's TD really... you don't think someone else could have done that... please.

I mean I know you spend your hard earn money on the jerseys and all but at the end of the season I'll buy yours for 2 bucks so I can use it to wash my car with. That way you get something back.

Re: Reggie
 

First off, you guys need to give it a rest with the "we pay him too much money" talk. You can't rescind the contract without taking a huge cap hit and you can't take a mulligan on the draft pick. So deal.

It seems to me that Reggie is starting to fit into a role on the team. I still think he can be a dangerous punt returner if gets over the yips. With his new found blocking ability, his pass catching ability, and his ability to make runs like the one he scored on yesterday, he's developing into a pretty darn good 3rd down back also. If he accepts that role and really learns that trade, he can be a huge asset to this team.

Granted, it's not what many (any) of us expected or hoped for, but it's what we got.

He's also still leading the team in total yards.

Re: Reggie
 

When Bell returns a punt(s) to win a game like Bush has then come with it. Otherwise, Bell would be cut long before Bush ever will from this team. Just sayin.. just an opinion. No need to get nasty.

Re: Reggie
 

Well we didn't draft Reggie with a first round draft pick to be a PR. He's seating 3rd on the list of RB's. I totally disagree with cutting Bell over Bush. Bell doesn't hurt a team he is actually a better RB than bush so far this year. When did Bush return a punt this year to win a game???

Ok I'll buy the jersey from you for 2.25 and I'll pay for shipping.

I don't know how much you have paid attention to the NFL but when a player makes to much money and don't contribute to wins. They usually get cut or traded off. Bell doesn't make that much and is contributing to wins. Bell is more likely to be on the roster next year with a pay raise out of the money that would normally go to Bush.

Hey I hope he turns it around another weapon more points all the better but as long has he does nothing and doesn't earn the money... see ya.

Re: Reggie
 

Bush leading the team in total yards??? Where do you get that crazy false stat Colston and a couple of others I believe have him beat and PT is on his heels and he was injured a few games if you recall.

Here is a stat for you Reggies longest punt so far this season is 22 yards, avg yards per return 3.9. Our opponets long 43 and average yards 12.2, point here is someone else could maybe to better and fumble less for less money???

I hope he gets it together don't get me wrong but our cap isn't getting any lighter. We all know someone else would take him off our hands.

Re: Reggie
 

dude you're out to lunch. if YOU think that bell SHOULD be cut before bush, you're absolutely crazy.

i'll admit it...i was psyched when we got reggie. i THOUGht we were getting a much more complete back...he simply hasn't developed. it's ok, i'm dealing w/ it b/c his role has diminished until he DOES get it together, which i really hope he does.

however, my bush jersey bought 2 years ago (by my g/f) hasn't joined me during the games at all this season and look what's happening...it's just bad mojo :P maybe it and his mojo will turn around and i can wear it again, until then, it's hanging nicely in the closet.

back on track...reggie just needs to get it together. he's a legitimate 3rd on our depth chart and our rushes show that. say what you will exile, but our 2 main backs are bell and PT and i couldn't be happier that's how it is.

Re: Reggie
 

Well, after watching some of the NFL Network shows and seeing some people break down film of the Colston and Moore TDs, the one thing I have to say, defenses are still biting hard on the play action with Reggie. The analysts didn't mention it was Reggie on the play action, but I noticed it was Reggie both times.

On the Colston and Moore TDs, Drew faked the hand off to Reggie. The SS immediately went up to fill the gap, and the LBs froze. Result: wide open Colston for TD, wide open Moore for TD.

You also notice Reggie's blocking on passing plays.

So, still, without the ball, Reggie is a big part of this offense. I still cringe when he returns punts or tries to run it up the middle, but if him being in there helps Drew, Colston, Moore, Shockey, etc to make plays downfield the way they were making plays downfield against the Giants, let it be.

Re: Reggie
 

Sorry, Colston overtook him in total yards. I added wrong.

And hey, I realize Reggie has the yips on punt returns. Personally, I choose to consider what he did last season when he had 3 TDs and a 13.5 average in 10 games.

But really? You think someone would take him off our hands? Like who and for what?

Re: Reggie
 

I still remember that Vikings game. Before the first Reggie punt return we had an obnoxious Vikings fan sitting behind us yelling "please kick it to fumble Reggie".

Man did he shut up fast. :mrgreen:

Re: Reggie
 

the best word to describe reggie is "dangerous"

the problem and the solution at the same time is that he is dangerous to both teams
