Bush trade talks!
Someone tell me if you've heard anything about this! I heard that we were trading Bush to Seattle for their starting DE and their(I think) the 14th pick in the draft. My father-in-law told me he saw it on the Sports Illustrated website, but I can't find it. Let me know if I need to slap him or not! LOL

Re: Bush trade talks!
April Fools ........ Crazy talk

Re: Bush trade talks!
Ok, so is it BS or not. It would actually make a lot of sense if it were true. I'd take the pick and the DE and not pay that 8 million, but i'm not the GM.

Re: Bush trade talks!
I saw something posted yesterday about Reggie being traded to Kansas City, but I knew right away it was bull**** after I found nothing about it on nfl.com or the team website. :rolleyes:

Re: Bush trade talks!
LMAO!!! It always amazes me how many people are taken in by stuff written,said, broadcasted etc on April Fools Day. We all know thats its coming and yet, some people fall for it every time.

Re: Bush trade talks!
As far as Bush goes, heres one thing a lot of you don't quite get. We all know hes not an every down back, and honestly, the days of the "FeaturedRunning Back" are gone. Its a QB driven league now and thank goodness we have a great one. But back to Bush, what he does is create mismatches, this is very important to our offense. If he lines up in the slot, then the Defense either has to pull down a corner to cover him or try and do it with a LB. Either way this is a problem for them and will leave Brees with more options in the passing attack b/c somebody, is not gonna be covered well. You ask any of the hosts on the Sirius NFL Channel if Reggie should be traded, and all of them will say NO! His yards per touch during the playoffs was out of this world, somewhere around 7 or 8 yards. He makes more contributions than most of you realize and is an integral part of what makes our offense go. Trust in Loomis, Payton and the rest of the staff, they got us a Lombardi. I think they have a far better idea of who should be on the team than any of y'all do.

Why would you want to trade Bush anyway.

Re: Bush trade talks!
All depends how bad Pete Carol wants him back. lets talk 2 firsts for Bush and #32
|
Re: Bush trade talks!
I would take that deal in a heart beat and draft a player like Bush with the 14th pick. We get another good DE, still get to draft Kindle or Weatherspoon at #32 and Anthony Dixon at #64. Damn I'm excited about the draft this year. I do know this was a joke but it would be interesting.
|
Re: Bush trade talks!
i'm just now seeing this thread. I saw the post date and got the joke but am disappointed. I'd love a first plus a DE for Bush.

Re: Bush trade talks!
LOL YOU SO CRAZY!! .. you sooo crazy.. "Shanane' from Martin"
|
Re: Bush trade talks!
Ha ha ha.........It's not funny. I like what Reggie does for us, maybe not as much for 8 mill. Although, it would be an interesting offer.

Re: Bush trade talks!
follow me here.....
I personally like our offense better without Bush. All I read is that Bush creates mismatches.... well, to me this is nothing shy of desperate optimism from committed or jaded fans. Fact, Bush creates no more mismatches than the more effective Pierre Thomas. If this is the case. I only think that fans sense an overemphasis on him when he's in. Every position player has his assignments and/or zones no matter what. Whether it's PT, Bush, Bell, whatever, whoever is spying him, is spying him.... I actually think that when D's see Bush, there may be a little bit of relief. Now no commentators or players in interviews will say this, but Bush has proven to be quite a small task to take down. You will hardly ever, EVER see Bush break a tackle much less slip past a defender. Bush will take what he can get before d's close in on him. I'm sorry, but this is not progressive football these days. In my opinion, I see Bush as the weakest back in the NFL (can you think of anyone else that goes down easier?) At first, drafting Bush, he was "going to make every guy on the field miss" right, remember? Come' on, I believed the hype and the sky was the limit right. He was going to be our "A.P. or the current Chris Johnson". Game after game, week after week, we only witnessed more and more compiling limitations of this guy. Bush is vastly, I mean VASTLY overhyped and tragically overpaid. I can't help thinking that we staggered for years while experimenting with Bush. Coach Payton, I'll give him his credit, but he has stubbornly pi$$ed away drives and games while trying to force reggie in during a variety of situations. It's not Payton's fault, and for the money Bush is making, I'd do all to get my use out of him.... not to mention, just diligently trying to find what he does good. Up until about the last four games, Bush has played with no heart, played scarred and played stupid in most cases. Also, I've never seen a player , EVER, be so quick to dart out of bounds. I've seen him turn it on a little more in those last four, but I've gotta wonder, knowing he's coming up on his payout year, or the fact that his lack of production would be a threat for him to return, I wonder if he hasn't just expelled himself only NOW, to either solidify his final year here, or to put on a show for resume purposes to go off to another team overhyped and overpaid, only to regress back to playing like a diva. So saying that, do I 1. get excited that he's shown some heart and commitment to the game the last few games and hope big for the future.... or 2. wonder why T.F. he's been playing so timid and soft the past few years? That's just not commendable in my mind. I can't just say, "Yeah, Reggie, You finally turned it on" without thinking "#2." If this is the case as well, as I've always viewed, it only validates the factor that he's a selfish player. I think the term "mismatch" and "decoy" are only a cop-out in terms of an NFL running backs credibility. All I can say, is thank God for the real deal Pierre Thomas. It's like this.... without Bush, this team still makes a Super Bowl run, Without Pierre, it's out of reach. I'm all about real difference makers, not dwindling hope. [edit] BTW, before you try to blow smoke up my ___ about how "yeah, but Bush was an integral part of our Super Bowl season.... why mess with a good thing, etc." take a look at Bush's involvement in this season and particularly his involvement in our wins in a dominant fashion. There is half a dozen games where bush only got 1, 2-4 touches, and we blew opponents away. For those who preach that we need him to "decoy" the D's or whatever, what do you feel about our most dominant and statement wins in '09 in which Bush either didn't even play or was a 1,2,3 touch hindrance performance.... Win - Giants: 6 carries 17 yds., 2.8 avg. (that's a whole lot of going no where runs.) Win - wk. 11 TB and wk. 12 NE, Epic wins, Epic offensive performances, Bush doesn't even play.... etc, etc..... |

 YouTube- Reggie Bush highlights |
Re: Bush trade talks!
^^^ you do realize that if a highlight reel was made of even Aaron Brooks, would look equally if not more impressive right. My point is.... just because a player accumulates enough good plays for a highlight reel, doesn't mean that the team is better off with or without him.
How do you think a "Goof, Oops and Come'on Man Reel" of Reggie Bush would look? Can Youtube host a video that long? I like how you didn't address any of the opinions with response, but plopped a hand pick, select choice of plays from Reggies career. |

and BTW, I don't need to go and watch a highlight reel to jade my opinion. You've probably watched that thing to the point of brainwashing yourself. |
Re: Bush trade talks!
10 minute highlight reel with the same several plays looped over and over and over. Some are preseason games. Bush has yet to put back to back games of any quality together. To be fair, his injuries have caused a meaningful reduction in speed, cutting ability and desire to get hit. He is a weapon, but only within the system. He's not a featured back, he's not a true receiver, he's not durable and he's not punishing. He is a very expensive cog for the Saints' wheel.

Its ok we have PT...and Bush will take a paycut..

notice how when you make statements, and make sense, they are not commented on. Don't worry, someone will be along shortly to try to discredit everything you've got to say with some spell-check errors or take the argument directly to your credibility apposed to addressing your theories. I also think Reggie is only accepted because of the better play of people around him. How many games have we seen where Reggie is put into different situations only to continue to not get anything going and find himself standing on the sidelines the rest of the day. Meanwhile Bell and Pierre were out there getting it done. If Pierre and Bell weren't available and and we relied on Reggie, I think they'd shut him down in no time.... and can't same the same if the situation was reversed. Look at the last, overtime drive of the NFC championship game. To me I think it sums up Reggie's value. We get the kick... Pierre returns. If Reggie's "ultimate weapon" theories were true, I think you throw him in there for this situation regardless... anyways, so Pierre makes an epic return (as he usually does) and almost all but puts it in field goal range already. moving on..... it goes like: Henderson, clutch catch, next, Pierre converts huge 1st down [closing in on FG range].... they put in Bush for a play and... BAMM - loses 5 yards. knocking them out of FG range. Fortunately, we have clutch players to pick up his slack.... Meachem makes a nice reception for good FG range..... so, what I'm saying is.... it's our clutch players that kept us rolling. From my view point, YES, Reggie is a change of pace, and he has to be accounted for, but it seems just as often as not, he's a change of pace FOR THE WORST! BTW Reggie had 7 rush attempts for 8 yards that game.... that's 7 wasted plays. This is Reggie to me. Our offense can shred without him... and you take him out of the picture and you lose all the huge loses of him getting shoestring tackled while dancing around the backfield or running laterally towards to sidelines. Because he lowered his shoulders for the last few games doesn't convince me.... The only I am convinced about is that he was exerting himself while closing in on his biggest payday season to come. Or even put on a show for potential trade interests. I can see that he can be a consistent threat, but I've seen 4 years of him playing like a scarred diva that doesn't convince me that he will continue play with heart. It's that simple. |

Re: Bush trade talks!
You can look at the Bush thing a hundred ways. Take the St.Louis game, if he doesn't play we don't win. THen the undefeated saints lose to the winless rams....how does that change a season. BTW, check Pierre's paltry stats from that game.
