Bush projected to WR? (1 Viewer)

Forty times- 4.33/4.37. Used at receiver for almost the entire workout. Did not take a hand-off during the workout and only did a few running back drills towards the very end of the session. Looked great in everything he did. Green Bay worked him out individually. -- TheNFLexperts.com
I don't know about you, but I found it strange that the drills he was put through was the WR Drills. He didn't do any RB drills untill the end of the day.Personally I would love this senerio, being a DD owner and all...

:lmao: keep dreaming...reggie bush will play RByou better hope davis gets traded on draft day
 
I think it was done to show his versatility. Basically, you know what you're getting for a RB, but LOOK you can also have a guy that can catch and stretch the field when needed.

 
No way does Bush switch positions. I think what the earlier posters said is true - coaches wanted to see how he could handle being split out (ala Marshall Faulk). They know he has good hands and good speed but can he run precise routes and get off of bump coverage at the line? I think that is what this was all about - answering those questions.

 
Keep in mind, Tomlinson played some WR a few years ago, Westbrook played WR occasionally, and IIRC, Faulk was considered for a partial move as well.

It's entirely possible that Houston would run 5-10 plays a game with Bush at WR and DD in the backfield.

To be honest, they would be stupid not too! He may in fact be the best WR they have. Scary but true.

:yes: imagine what would happen if Carr had time to throw, with AJ and Moulds outside, Bush in the slot. Of course, Carr won't have time, but still...

I imagined a sack. :confused:

Corrected.I do not think the average football fan understands the match-up problems Bush is going to present in a split backfiled with D. Davis. Oz, you are far above average so don't think I am picking on you. Bush is far too strong and fast to be covered by a CB. There is no way a LB or either FS/SS can handle that guy can one on one in space. The minute you trot him out in the slot the defense is going to be forced to either call of the double coverage/shading to AJ's side of the field or drop back into a zone. Bush, if he is as good as it appears, will have a dramatic impact on the Texans OL play. Little hard to constantly press Carr if Bush is in the slot; Putzier is at the TE spot and Johnson is out wide, while Moulds is left on the other side with Davis in the backfield. Teams will have to honor what they see at the line of scrimmage. Perhaps the Texans will begin to predicate terms and conditions to a few NFL defenses instead of the other way around. Zone or man to man the defense has a problem. Zone will open running lanes for delays or see many dump passes to either back on the flooded side of the field. Man to man will see that Bush, Johnson or Moulds are left in single coverage. Defensive coordinators are going to have substantial problems especially considering Kubiak is no slouch running an offense.

Exactly what that was for. Every running back has done this. :rolleyes:

On plays with Moulds, AJ, and Bush at WR, Putzier at TE, and DD solo in the backfield I'm thinking there will be a lot of blitz packages to force Carr to deliver ot take his life in his own hands.

And you should have a solid, pre-snap read of where the one on one coverage is at, which is to say he should have the upper hand.

I concur that HE SHOULD. It remains to be seen whether he will. And until HOU can prove that they can keep Carr off of life support and instead take advantage of these situations, he may see a lot of them.
 
I think Carr might end up being ok. Probably in the minority but I think the impact Bush could have on that team, which is assuming they draft him, would be substantial. He would, opinion, have time to read and throw.

I don't get it. How is 200 lb Bush too strong to be covered by a CB? He'd be fast at WR, but there are plenty of CBs that fast in the league. He'd be strong for a WR, but there are some very strong guys out there already. Adding both together, it's an impressive package, but not uncoverable IMO.

He is going to draw your 3rd or 4th CB out of the nickel or dime. That's the guy in the slot. Bush will be just as fast, if not faster than that player. He will be a better athlete. It will be a physical mismatch. You going to jam him with that player? I don't think so. The point being Bush against your defense's 3/4/5 CB or FS/SS or LB in the slot is going to be problematic.

Ah, that's different that what I thought you were saying.I think nickle CBs are better athletes than you're giving them credit for, but I see your point.

I am not picking on those guys but in an instance of athlete versus athlete on a given play that particular DB is going to have his hands full. It will be something to be exploited and or used to force the defenses hand.
 
I can't see a team using the #1 overall pick on a player intending to make him change positions. It's pretty clear why they had him run WR drills.

No, there are not. :no:
 
Hmmm, Green Bay worked him out on his pro day and they have a meeting set up for him. Could Green Bay be looking to trade up to snatch Bush? Package their #5 overall with another first day pick and I think the Texans jump on it.

because he's the most gifted college RB to come down the pike in a long time..they know he can run..you only get so many plays to judge someone at the workouts..so they make him catch the ball to see his ability in that regard.

:goodposting: See you in Wisconsin Reggie.

DD, and a stud defensive player(at 5) are better than Reggie Bush, and a 2nd RD good Defensive guy.

:confused: The Chargers got the 1.4, 3.4, a next-year 1st and next-year 5th for the 1.1 pick. The draft pick value chart supposedly similar to what most teams use for approximate pick value shows if the Packers gave up their entire draft it would only move them to the 1.2 pick in value. (Though of course a team might be willing to do the deal for that many picks.)

Given all that, I'm not seeing how the Texans would even consider the 1.5 and 2.5 or 3.5 for the 1.1, let alone jump at it. Especially given the marquee players available this year, and the fact that the players the Texans would most target could be gone at 1.5.

I'm right there with you. I think people are too happy to get the Texans out of that spot, saying that they would 'jump' at 1.15 + something, or 1.5 + a third rounder... It takes a lot to move to the #1 pick. Especially when the #1 pick is 'the next Gale Sayers.' We're not talking about moving up to pick Alex Smith, even. We're talking about a guy who is immediately being compared to every HOF running back that ever lived. To think the Texans 'should be happy' to get ****** in the *** on this pick is ridiculous. The Texans would laugh uproariously at that offer. They 'should be happy' to get one of the top-rated players to come into the NFL in the last 10, maybe 20 years.

All this means is now they can save even more money by cutting DD AND Andre Johnson since Bush can play both of their positions. It's only a matter of time before he takes Carr's spot as well. :thumbup:

Yep...and then they would throw the ball to Reggie instead of handing it to DD...

Or j Walker and the 5th pick

That's a bit more realistic. I personally think it would take a bit more. A. Schefter of NFL Network (on Tony Bruno this morning) was intimating that there might be quite a hang-up with the Moulds to Texans deal. 1.5 + Javon Walker + 3.5. I could see that being enough ammo. Don't know if GB would give up that much for him, after re-signing Ahman and Najeh (did they get the Pooper back?).
