Lundy, Mario, DeMarco nor Vince play the same position as a PRO-BOWL Caliber person on their own team N.O. is working hard to just get him on the field cause THE DUECE IS LOOSE! I just wanted to put that Caveat out there I was never overly impressed with Bush Rocket River
I was a bit miffed that the great TALENT EVALUATOR was still giving DAYNE the Ball so often DAYNE is a Full back . . and I don't mean Mike Alstott Get ya big *ss in there and be a lead blocker ./ . . . PERIOD!! Rocket River
I would go witht hat logic. However, that still doesn't explain his piss poor rushing when he does get attempts. Look at the other rookie RB's for comparison, most of which are also splitting time.
I'm no Reggie Apologist . . . I still think . . if he works are if he keeps his head on straight. . he might be a Poor Man's Warrick Dunn or Tiki Barber . [Two of my favorite players there] In fact I'm more impress by that Kid the Colts pulled out of no where It is like Edge never left [Then again they got a hell of a line] Rocket River
Interesting point. We all fell in love with his electric pace and speed. We thought it would transfer very easily at the pros level. So far his speed has not fooled anyone. SAINT, why should we have considered D'Brick? Our O-Line is better than given credit so far. Our O-Line is good enough imho. We still need help more on defense.
Not everyone fell in love with Bush, a lot of us were pointing out that on the two most important plays in the national championship game he was on the bench. Speed is great, but you have to be more than a burner to play RB in the pros. Reggie is a scat back.....and he is not as tough as Brian Westbrook which is the ultimate scat back. Gale Sayers....ROFLMAO....some people compared him to Gale Sayers....I TOLD YOU that a Gale Sayers type player can not thrive in today's NFL.....everyone is fast now, when Sayers played...hardly anyone was fast. DD
Wow, dont let jgreen91 get wind of this. He'll freak. He'll start to shake ... shimmy ... crack up, ok PANIC! LOL. Seriously, that dude has issues, he idolizes the ground Reggie walks on. FACE IT, RIGHT NOW HE'S A POOR MAN'S ERIC METCALF! And that's the fact, jack.
I really think Wali is going to be good in this system as Kubiak has proven with a ton of no-name backs out of college. On the topic of Reggie, he is not even close to the top tier of rookie running backs this season. He has 1 punt return touchdown to his name and nothing more.
Yeah, Wali is looking good. He gets a 100 on the G-Men then we REALLY have something special here. I really like how he is learning the nuances of waiting on and reading blocks and knowing when to burst out. Really impressive.
For the offensive line we have he is doing a good job. At least he is gaining more yards than David Carr which our other 2 running backs could not do in a few games. We'll see how he does this week but i think his progress is a good sign for our running game.
I'll hold off judgement after one game against the Baltimore defense. Reggie rushed for more yards than Deuce by the way. The Baltimore D is tough. The Saints were down early and they really didn't rush the ball at all, had to throw to try to get back in the game. Lundy looks good, but i'd like to see what he does against Baltimore before i'd compare the two. Plus, Lundy is a starting RB for us. Bush is a backup RB/Receiver. Not an equal comparison. Where would Lundy be if we had Deuce? I realize Bush hasn't run the ball as well as I thought he would, I don't want to get into a big debate about it. Aside from all that, the offensive rookie of the year right now is Colston. He's tearing it up.
AJ Hawk has been very good this year; D'Brickashaw Ferguson has been solid too; they are arguably the two best rookies.
I just found out you are the "resident Bush defender" . Seriously, don't you consider him a huge disappointment so far? As a running back, his future seems questionable. I think he's the type of player a winning team needs, but it's very doubtful he will ever be a franchise-type player. What do you think?
THAT IS WHO I WAS MISSING!! Where is Hawk? I have not heard anything about him But I had expect him to do well Rocket River
Bush 2nd Overall Pick 70 Rushes for 212 Yards 0 Rushing TDs Lundy 170th Overall Pick 54 Rushes for 266 Yards 1 Rushing TD Sorry jgreen...you've talked way too much crap to anyone who didn't like Bush (apparently all of them being VY lovers) and hyped up Bush way too much to just "not want to debate about it" after he hasn't played well.
With all apologies to Wali Lundy, and whomever started this thread, I have some questions about Reggie Bush: 1. If he is such an all-world Gale Sayers/Barry Sanders kinda back, why hasn't he beat out Deuce McAlister as the starting running back? That's what everyone expected... 2. For argument's sake, I'm gonna say that defensive ends accumulate sacks at about the same rate that running backs score touchdowns. So let's see.... 3 and a half sacks versus 0 rushing touchdowns? Hmmm? On top of that, Reggie Bush has had other opportunities, as a receiver and on special teams. Where are the touchdowns?
Lundy may work out. May. Bush may end up a Jerry Gray or Dante Hall more than a Metcalf (a KR/PR specialist).
