Michael Bush? (1 Viewer)

[TheFanatic]

So was the Bush performance a one time thing due to McFadden's butterfingers or are we going to see a steady dose of Bush again next week?

You won't see a steady dose of Bush until he escapes the hell that is Oakland.

I don't get it. Are there any fans close to the Raider situation that can please explain why Michael Bush doesn't see the field more often? He's a playmaker and is obviously worthy of a starting Running back position in the NFL. At the very worst, he's a time share back with a solid stud, but I don't get why the coaching staff eliminates him from games altogether when I hear nothing of injuries.

Look how long it took them to bench Russell. Both McFadden and Fargas are getting good money and McFadden was an elite draft pick so the ownership wants those guys to have every chance to succeed. It does seem like Cable may be playing who he wants more down the stretch.

What does it take for us to trust M. Bush as a starter? Does Cable announce a starter? Why was Fargas out of the mix this past week anyways?

I think the touch split was like 18 for M. Bush, 12 for McFadden?

I think Fargas was dinged in the game.

tweaked his knee.This seems pretty simple to me. McFadden=RBush, but he can be a wideout, not just a slot receiver and MBush=Deuce a la New Orleans. Whether Oakland ever figures that out, I have no idea.

I agree. I would also love to see them run a Wildcat with these two.

This is a really good analogy. The Raiders need to pound the ball and ease whomever is at QB into the system by relying on the running game...Was Fargas injured enough to keep him out of the game this week?

Fargas is always dinged.

It's hard to rag on Fargas...he is a good football player and runs hard. He just doesn't have the talent that some of the other guys have. That being said, they need to pound the ball with Mi Bush and get it to DMC in space. It's amazing what OAK has done in those couple of huge upset wins. Nice to see Schilens getting some attention too. He almost had another long-ish TD that was stripped away as he fell backwards.

Hopefully he has a few big late season games like the one last year, so that his sleeper hype is off the charts again in the offseason
