Yup...just about every throw to him in the flat he was making moves to get the extra yards.People bash the guy alot because he is not a run up the middle RB...but you have to get him the ball in those other situations. They did good by getting him the ball more last night though, he is my #2 so I was happy about that.
Yeah...but they have to give him some up the middle to keep defenses honest.Otherwise, they just will be ready for all outside runs when he is in the backfield.
I agree with both - and it was exacerbated by the Vikings ability to clog the middle.
The 1st fumble was bogus... his head got totally twisted by the facemask; ofcourse his grip on the ball is going to get loose.If I was Bush on that play, I would of laid on the ground after the facemask and grab my neck to prove a point,
While I don't disagree with you, my point regarding fumbles was not based solely on this game. He is prone to fumbles, holds the ball like he was playing street ball. In college he used to get away with it cuz most of the time no one was close enough to even touch him, but in the NFL, he's gotta get more secure around that ball...
He only had 27 rushing yards, is the 4th best rb on his team and can't run inside the tackles! He doesn't give their team the best chance to win, totally sux0r!!!
I have to agree with with this post at least somewhat(even though you're probably being sarcastic) I"m not. I'm in a PPR league and Reggie Bush is actually the #1 RB in regards to fantasy points, and I've been riding all these good weeks as well, but if you take away those 2TDs Bush really doesn't amount to much. As a Bush owner you have to hope he keeps finding the endzone(however he does it), because as soon as he doesn't, you will be seeing most likely very little in the point column from Reggie. Shockey and Colston come back next week, does their return hurt his targets? Hopefully not....He only had 27 rushing yards, is the 4th best rb on his team and can't run inside the tackles!

I was being extremely sarcastic. In terms of what you're stating, I can't believe any self respecting FFer would ever resort to the old 'if you take this away' comment. Now obviously he didn't do much in terms of yards, rushing or receiving, but the 2 tds were scored. Can't take that away. He will have another game with 100 yards receiving, 60 rushing, and no td. So at the end of the year, those games combined with these games amount to huge fantasy production from Bush. Now, stepping away from all the fantasy stuff, lets get back to the discussion of whether having bush in there helps the team win, or is detrimental to the team winning. My point when getting involved in bush discussions has always been this: Having him in teh game significantly increases the chances of NO winning. Moreso for that offense than probably any other offense in the league. Even with his 60 total yards games, him being in makes that team significantly better. Opens up the longball that they throw around like the pats throw the 5 yard slant. Opens up the underneath stuff because everyone is focused on bush. Opens up the running game for their other rbs when bush is lined up wide with duece or whomever in the backfield, etcetcetc. Bush is a game changer.

Whats worse than the "take away the long run" argument...how about..."if you take away the 2 TDs".Look, in a non-ppr league Bush is sitting at #5 RB. Just 1 point behind Barber and Turner, 2 points behind Gore, and 8 points behind Portis.He is not the prototypical run between the tackles RB...but who cares...he is hugely important to his team.I have to agree with with this post at least somewhat(even though you're probably being sarcastic) I"m not.
