On short yardage plays is Reggie on the field?

He's typically on the field for pass plays.

If he truly adds 10 yards per play, he should be a hall of famer and he deserves every dime of his 12 million dollar salary.

I am curious though, why is Payton reducing his snaps? I'm sure if Payton knew he added 10 yards per play just by being in the line-up he'd put Bush in on every play.

I think the stat may be a tad misleading, especially since we score more points when Reggie is out versus when Reggie is in. How can that be explained?

Do you guys really think he adds 10 yards per play?

to the last question? yes. it's a statistical fact.

15 yards per play if 50% more than most teams average on pass plays. he's every defense's kryptonite.

And yet we score less with him in the line-up. Go figure.

I'm willing to bet that's more a facet of the way we play red-zone offense than a knock on Bush.

C'mon man, he adds 10 freaking yards per play but we score less with him in the line-up?

I think I might be getting the hang of this now... let me try...

When Reggie is out of the line-up, opposing defenses are so relieved that they let down their guard and we end up scoring more.

Or... they are so confused, not knowing what to do with the extra 2 guys they normally put on Reggie, that they cannot execute their scheme correctly anymore.

Or... since Reggie is on the sideline (in street clothes), all 11 defenders are still spying him and not paying attention to the guys on the field, allowing Drew to march down the field (albeit in significantly smaller chunks) and score more.

The Reggie-Fear factor. LOL!!!
