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

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing this thread locked up at this point. I fought the good fight in this thread and at least now I can say, "I told you so". This thread should have never become the epic it now is IMO.

 

BTW, weren't you the one calling UT fans classless for saying "I told you so" after the Rose Bowl game? The irony.

Sure looks like Bush is gonna be the guy though, his numbers today were pretty sick. Bush has the tools to be one hell of a player. Carr better step it up this season, there aren't any excuses leftover IMO.

 

I was kinda hoping it would hit 3000 posts. Also, it makes for a great source of draft information on Young, Leinhart, and Cutler.

 

Yeah, you've really gone out on a limb telling clutchfans that the Texans may select Bush.

Now if you went out and hyped someone out of left field for the number #1 pick like Santonio Holmes and the Texans took him then you could brag.

But please keep fighting the good fight -- if nothing else -- it's entertaining.

 

I would think they would lean towards Reggie, but I don't know for sure. What answer are you looking for here?

You act like you were the only one that said this though. Everyone, save 5 or 6 posters, have said that Bush should/would be the man.

 

Then if the Jets would take Bush #1, would the Titans take Bush #1 if they had the pick?

And if so, then what would those teams be willing to give up to get their hands on Bush?

Especially now that his stock is through the roof and he looks like Superman, I would think that if the Titans or Jets really wanted him, they would be willing to up the anty. What do you guys think?

 

I would think that the Texans might trade with the Jets but there is no way they give Reggie Bush to the Titans BECAUSE HE MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT THE TEXANS FOR YEARS TO COME.....

 

Reggie just said on ABC13 that he is already looking at houses here in Houston.

EDIT: I said FOX26 but I meant ABC13

 

Here's that video. I captured it myself.

How many times have you been done with this thread? I think this marks the sixth time.

I'm pumped about Bush. Our offense should be very exciting to watch with all the additions we've made or will make this offseason. Take Bush #1, use the rest of the first day picks on defense, and please God, don't let VY go to the Titans or Cowboys.

 

It is still not out of the realm of possibility that the Jets would trade up to #1 for Reggie, They need to think about replacing Curtis Martin and they play in the #1 media center of the world where they compete with not only the Giants but the damn Yankees.

If they did it would probably be the first Jet's pick ever that didn't get booed.

Hell Reggie this thread has 25 more days of life!

 

Very cool, thanks Julio!

 

Why'd they have them run 40's on a running track, wouldn't grass or turf be more appropriate, which I believe is what everybody else uses right?

 

Reggie 'the freak' Bush

At this point all I can say is even Charlie C. can't mess up this draft.

Go Texans

 

After Bush impressed everyone with his strength and athleticism, don't expect a trade.

I wasn't surprised with the speed and jumping ability, but lifting 225 24 times is amazing.

 

I can see the possiblity of drafting Bush and then waiting to see if VY falls past Tennessee. If VY is still there for the Jets, I could see the possibility of us trading him to New York if the right combination of picks was there, maybe their #1, their #1 next year, and maybe couple of 3rd rounders or something like that. Let Bush go to NY and play Barry Sanders while the Jets stink it up and we get a good pick again next year. I'm sorry but Bush or no Bush, the Jets are going to be bad next year. We get one year to pump Carr's statistics to high heaven and then trade him for more picks, players. Then we could possibly come away with Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, and a whole slew of other talent on both sides of the ball.

Remember, running backs are not the crucial element of a Broncos offense. Anybody remember Olandis Gary (I think that's how you spell it). 3rd string running back, runs for 1000 yards when the top 2 rbs go down with injury.

 

How dare you underestimate CC.

Like most have said, Bush put on quite a performance. The 40-time was better than I thought, but we all knew how fast he is. The 24 reps is amazing!!

Question: Why are they calling it astroturf? Not to take anything away from Bush, bur running on a track w/ spikes is a HUGE difference from turf.

 

so did lienart throw and was it impressive?

 

I agree with this quote. It's like celebrity jeopardy on SNL.

The final jeopardy question for April 29th is:
Who should the Texans pick with the number 1 overall pick in the first round?
Please Texans just write Reggie Bush on your card and turn it in.

With Casserly's track record if he does just this, then they should give the Texans an A no matter how the rest of the draft goes. Pluses and minuses will be given based on the second round and two third round picks.
