Danno, I usually agree with you, but I think you're off the mark here. Reggie may not literally have 3 guys on him at all times, but there's usually at least 2, with a third waiting to pounce.

Which plays were those? I'm just curious because maybe I don't know what a true double or triple team looks like.

From what I saw last night he was never triple teamed, and I really can't remember when he was even double teamed. I saw a DB follow him when he went in motion, but thats not a double team.

Point to a play or two so I can educate myself. It shouldn't be hard if it was done on every play.

I'll rewatch tonight to see all of those double and triple teams I must have missed.

I didn't get a chance to see the game last night, but it's obvious in person. I doubt you'll be able to tell just by watching on TV.

You mean you can't tell if a RB is triple teamed on TV?

Hmm, thats a head scratcher.

So I wonder... if he's truly tripleteamed on every play, why in the world would he ever come out of the game? His mere presence gives you a two-man advantage everwhere else. He can't get hurt being a decoy. So why doesn't he play every down?

That I can't answer. But I do know the average pass play when he's in goes for around 15 yards and only 5 when he's out. So he attracts a he'll of a lot of attention.

How do you know who was keying on whom, Danno Defensive Coordinator? Isnt the idea to disguise your intentions? I can plainly see when Reggie touches the ball, three players pop up out of the woodwork.

You tell us which plays did they not have three guys watching Reggie.

I'll go back and watch game film tonight, and proceed to read their minds thru their helmets.

If a guy is triple teamed on every play, you can usually see three defenders on the guy. Thats not difficult to see. You don't need to read minds to see that. And conversely, how do you know they're triple teaming him? Are you reading their minds?

Did you mean to say he draws a triple team in defenders minds? Kinda like a previous player who owned defenders with his eyes?

The Reggie exaggerations are getting a bit out of hand. He's a decent scat-back, and teams pay attention to scat-backs who go in motion. Reggie isn't any different. This triple teamed on every play is nonsense.

so... would that be the 3 guys who usually tackle him?

I've gradutated from SR. Im not doing that silly back and forth thing.

you can have the last word.

So now if 3 guys swarm a player after he catches the ball, thats triple teamed?

I thought that was simply a defense swarming to the ball.

And what does being an SR grad have to do with triple teaming Reggie Bush?

BTW: Did you guys notice PT was triple teamed all game as well?
