4 yard per carry is terrible...I agree.

this season:

Bell 4.4 (despite getting most short yardage carries)
Thomas 5.9
Bush 3.9 (sadly, this is a career high)

and all the passes he caught were within 1-2 yards of the LOS

jake your tdfl team is epic levels of bad.

i forgot the catch by thomas

Bush is a terrible punt returner.

Terrible?

he isnt the best, but he is far from terrible


2nd active in the NFL in return TD's

While i think he should run more vertical and not as much sideways, i wouldn't consider him "terrible". Poor choice of words.




....and today wasn't his best game. I thought he lacked effort early in the game. A few of those passes Brees threw to him that got broken up, i thought u could have came back to the ball and made the catch. Or at least showed a better effort.


the play on the reverse and the rare broken tackle on 3rd down were pretty big plays. I wouldn't say we wouldnt have won without him though. And i dont hate Reggie Bush. Thats just an unbiased way at looking at it. He was a very small factor today

you pwnd me s-man

I try.

Some of you figs/bandwaggon fans exert more effort looking for something to piss and moan about than you do being a fan.

Here's my post in the other Reggie Bush thread. Maybe this will clear things up.

Did Reggie fumble today or something? That is a serious question.

Here's a serious answer for you. No, Reggie didn't fumble. He played almost everydown from scrimmage in the first half. He did get blown up in pass blocking that led to a sack. Between the lack of a running threat when he's in the game, and his deficiency in pass blocking , his presence allowed the Miami pass rush to pin their ears back and render our offense helpless. We adjusted in the 2nd half by using real HBs and sprinkling Reggie in in certain situations as we should have done from the 1st qtr on, and things went much better that way.

Does this answer any questions that you may have?
