    Reggie Bush rushed 25 times for 203 yards with a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-23 Week 15 win in Buffalo.

    The transformation in Bush's game is striking. We can't say he just did it against the Bills, because he now has three straight 100-yard games and is averaging 5.01 yards per carry on the season as a clear feature back.

    Bush capped his day today by gashing the middle of the Bills' defense for a 76-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. With another tasty match up against the Patriots next week, Bush will be a high-upside play in fantasy's Super Bowl week. He's a different player right now than what he was in his Saints days.

    I can only figure that he lost the fear of going up the middle. It was quite obvious for his entire career, to this point, that he had no interest in going through the line. Dude did not want to get hit. It appears this has changed and he might finally be becoming the RB everyone thought he would.

    Yep, he's a legit running back now. The guy has had a pretty good career up to this point. Lot's of TDs scored and a super bowl ring. Bush is definitely not a bust.

    Seems like he's figured something out. But we'll see.

    The saints really never used him that way so he didn't condition and train to be a guy running up the middle. Makes you wonder how he could have been for the Texans if they used him properly.

    Commentary on CBS weeks ago on Dolphins game, Boomer said they're involving Reggie Bush more .

    Shannon Sharpe then said "REGGIE BUSH IS involving Reggie Bush more."

    Indicating Bush himself coulda been doing that sooner if he took his RB career more seriously

    Was Shannon Sharpe also spitting at the camera when he said that? (rhetorical question, that's what happens every time he speaks).

    Another 100 yard game and over a thousand for the season. I thought he should move to WR a few seasons ago -- guess I was wrong on that one.

    Bush looks rejuvenated, I think running on grass is definitely helping him. He was running scared of injury on turf.
