[Official] Reggie Bush or Someone else -- Vince Young out of running

Puhlease!!! If RB's are so easy to come by, then how come every team is not 2 deep at that position? There are barely 12 good RBs in the National Football League. Probably the same number of good QB's.

 

Is that not reaching too? Kubiak could be speaking frankly and honestly.

Umm, yeah, Carr is the sole reason for that 18-46 record. Forget the crappy defense and the nonexistent O-line and the coaching staff that was just let go.

 

I was saying this before the RoseBowl. If a defense can contain Bush from turning that corner, you can stop him quite easily. Don't get me wrong, Bush still had 170 yards on us, but besides that amazing TD run, he didn't get a whole lot.

Bush could have been the fastest player in college, but trying to cut it outside like he does won't work as well in the NFL. I'm not trying to take anything away from Bush, but Bush never saw good defenses in the Pac10, at least not a defense like Texas.

Cut off the sidelines and make him run between the tackles.

 

Don't give him too much credit for that game. Dude only had 82 rushing.

 

Reggie Bush was not stopped at all by UT. He virtually did whatever he wanted. He cut to the outside, ran down the middle caught passes, and returned the ball. Simply put, he was not worked into the game well enough by the coaches. Let's be real here... UT won that game because in the last 5 minutes the USC coaches blew it... on several occasions. It certainly was not the play calling by Mack Brown. Vince Young got in a groove in the most important moment of his life... and his acclaim is well deserved.

Furthermore, Reggie Bush did everything this year, not just "cut it outside" like you are implying. He did it all.

BTW - Is the Big 12 supposed to have some amazing teams and defenses that I dont know about. If so, please undulge.

Were we watching the same game? Because I saw Reggie run 10 times for 54 yards during the first half of the game, a half in which Reggie killed a scoring drive with a ridiculous lateral attempt. During the first half, going to Bush often, the Trojans offense was contained.

USC made a concerted attempt to use Bush as a decoy in the 2nd half, with only 3 carries. The offense responded to the Leinart - White combination better, and scored almost at will in the 2nd half (until that last drive when they couldn't convert on 4th down).

 

A 4th Down conversion attempt that saw the heisman trophy winner Reggie Bush on the sidelines?!?!?! Still cant figure that one out.

 

That cracked me up.

 

Not even close.

 

He should have been on the field imo, but USC went to Lendale on 4th and short all season. Pete Carroll, the guy who knew Reggie's strengths and weaknesses as well as anyone, decided for whatever reason his best chances in that situation didn't include Reggie Bush on the field. That's fairly damning, imo.

 

No doubt.

Carroll wins 34 in a row and then he get's Monday morning quarterbacked to death.

 

SO I suppose that timeout on the 2 point conversion was a strategic decision as well? People make mistakes. Carrol F'd up on that one.

 

Why not be a little disingenuous.

Your statements were a bit more far-reaching than that one issue: 'Simply put, he was not worked into the game well enough by the coaches. Let's be real here... UT won that game because in the last 5 minutes the USC coaches blew it... on several occasions.'

They tried working him in and it did not work. Ten rushes for 54 yards in the first half and they only had 10 points ... mostly because of a UT fumble. Your Monday-morning quarterbacking doesn't even rate...you would have had SC score about 20 points if they were lucky. Would you have really given up White's touches for Bush's? No way.


And BTW, what failure did the coaches make when trying to stop Vince. Did their failure begin 3 years ago when they spent more time recruiting players for the offense instead of defense?

 

nice , i was about to say the same thing

 

Vince made the same "retarted lateral", his man was ready for it though. It was still a dumb move by bush

5.4 ypc is bad??? I guess

 

he had another 1st round pick to choose from who was dominating UT (did they ever pick michael huff off the ground when he threw him down?), why use bush there?

 

I think 12 is a underestimation . . but . .

Ok Name be 12 GOOD QBs

Did you mean: r****ded
