That's your only comment? You take a shot at the poster and don't even acknowledge blowing every single prediction you made in here? I'm sure you'll address those predictions if Reggie has a monster week next week, right? Just like I'm sure you were just waiting for the guy to go off so you could come in here and bump my predictions.

Yeah, that's it. I acknowledged previously that there isn't really much point in arguing about this with you. Also, when did I take a shot at anyone? I disagreed. Looks like I'm wrong at the moment.

I'm willing to admit I was wrong

And I'm willing to admit that you are a man of integrity. Now to make this debate really interesting Sparano needs to say all week that DT is the guy they want to carry the ball 20 times and have 5 catches, and then Reggie goes off for 120 and 2 with 60 yards receiving!?!

In my league he was the 26th RB off the board; and he is currently 17th in scoring for RB's. Not sure that is what you consider a miss. Certainly not a home run like Tolbert but no where near a miss.As I said in another thread, if Henne only completes 12 passes then Bush is not going to have a productive day.

Coach expects more plays for RB Bush: After pacing the rushing game in Week 1, Dolphins RB Reggie Bush carried the ball six times in Week 2 against the Texans, while rookie RB Daniel Thomas led the rushing attack with 107 yards on 18 carries in his NFL regular season debut. On Monday, coach Tony Sparano told reporters that Bush was on the field for 25 plays and Thomas for 33, but hinted that might not always be the breakdown. "Maybe you'd want that flipped around a little bit," Sparano said.

Whatever... screw that guy (Sporano)! He basically made Reggie unstartable. No way you can stick him back in without several straight weeks of consistent performance, which will now all be useless.

A guy that scored nicely one week and did nothing the next is a miss as he likely caused you to lose a game. Blount right now is a miss, despite the game yesterday. Why? Because most people got burned in week 1 and many of them didn't start him week 2. I see Blount righting the ship and continuing with what he did yesterday, but Reggie? Well, he did have a handful of carries and come in below his career stats at 3.0/carry and gets tackled after 3 yards on his only catch. Thomas had one catch and got 10 yards. I know they were very different plays, but it's something to watch. It's hard to keep Bush in there at 3.0/carry while DT's getting 5.9. Next week should be interesting....

But his 20+ points in all likelyhood won you your first game.Very few guys ranked 26th at their position are going have great games every week. If they did, they would be ranked top 10 at their position and they ranked top 10 and their position was RB they would be gone in the 1st or early 2nd rounds.

 

[mvereb]

I found Stats Inc. recap of Reggie's Week 2 performance extremely descriptive and helpful:

"Mon, Sep 19

Bush was awful Sunday in a 23-13 loss to Houston.

Advice: Bush carried six times for 18 yards and had a three-yard reception. This was a terrible effort.

For the 4% of people that started him week 1.

 

[bushdocda]

So which Reggie coming to play week 3? I am going to go way out on a limb and predict a performance somewhere between the 2 prior weeks.

At least an increased look in the passing game.

People really still starting this guy?

 

[nysportsfan]

Went from an good start, to coach speak saying he will get 70% of touches, to basically useless in 3 weeks.

 

[elbowrm]

Fortunately not.

 

[bulger2holt]

[Raiderfan32904]

:hawkscreeeeeech...ow!:

 

[munygon2]

dropped him for Kendall Hunter.

 

[Arnold. S]

dropped him for Kendall Hunter.

Contemplating on doing the same...

 

[elbowrm]

And this is how you get housed because you can't see beyond the fantasy numbers. If Reggie can only run for 3.5/carry, he's not going to be a starter in the NFL. They force fed the ball to Reggie on a team with a high powered O for years and finally had to change him to a scat back to get his best numbers of his career.

Keep looking at all those catches and him getting all the touches and pretty soon you're going to wonder why he's no longer the starter and some underwhelming 2nd rounder is getting force fed the ball to get something going because they need more than 3 yards a carry in the NFL.

This just in, no NFL coach gives a damn about your FFB team. If the guys getting the touches can't help them win ball games, they will bench them for other guys. Why does Addai keep getting touches? Because he's a great RB? No. Because he kept Manning upright and that was more important to the Colts than a 5.0 YPC. FFB owners hate on Addai because he's not a great back, but the Colts love him because he wins them games by keeping Manning on the field. See how important that is now that Kerry Collins is the QB? Where would Manning and the Colts be with a better RB who didn't pass block as well? Manning would've missed his first game a lot sooner than this.

Stop looking at the points he got you last night and start worrying about the guy looking no different than he has his entire career. That performance will win you games in FFB but Not For Long. The Dolphins don't have 2nd overall signing bonus invested in him. They can bench him at any time and if that rook shows anything it will be sooner rather than later and Reggie Bush will very quickly become an older Dexter McCluster....

Wish I listened. He sucks.

 

[GoBirds]

Is he even worth having as a trade throw in to hand cuff to Thomas, prob not huh?

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

Doh!...wrong again

 

[Grahamburn]

94 total yards and a touchdown is going to get him benched?! Ok.

Evidently it will.

He still only had 20 touches. They keep him on the field so the defense has to account for him.

Uh, not really.

There aren't too many leagues giving points for carries these days. It doesn't seem like Miami wants him to be a 20 carry back either. It does look like they've centered their offense around him and would like to get him the ball via short passes and get him the ball in areas where he can succeed. Wa la. 20 touches, 94 yards, and a TD last night.

First, it's voila, not wa la. And second, looks like they want him to be about a 7 touch back which is, in fact, the best way to use the guy.

A poor man's Jamaal Charles if you will. He might even finish higher than Charles the way the Chiefs look right now.

And finally, you got one right...

I waited for 3 solid games in a row. Bumping now.He's averaging 5.4 yards per carry in his last 6 games and is at 4.64 for the season. He'll probably be just outside the top 15 RBs in my league after this game. Not bad.

 

[Grahamburn]

Now 6 straight games with double digit fantasy points. Thoughts?

 

[thehornet]

I definitely should not have dumped this guy. Having a very nice year.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Now 6 straight games with double digit fantasy points. Thoughts?

Sorry I dropped him? Glad the owner who picked him up missed the playoffs. At least I took him in the Subscriber contest. I think I'll go to Pizza Hut for lunch. He's still not a stud fantasy RB, but he's proving to be a good move for Miami. I expect Daniel Thomas to get better next year and they'll have a very good RBBC going. Matt Moore is improving and that's helped Bush's value too.

 

[Apple Juice]

He's been great. Finding the endzone regularly during Miami's resurgence. Upcoming schedule is very soft. He's a pretty safe play--even if the Dolphins fall behind he'll add 30-40 yards receiving. Should be valuable in the playoffs.

 

[Amused to Death]

Now 6 straight games with double digit fantasy points. Thoughts?

Drafted as an RB3, he's now putting up very solid RB2 numbers. And next week he gets to go against the Eagles D. Nice match up for playoff week 1.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

He's about 230 yards shy of 1K for the year, has 6 TDs and is 12th among RBs with 40 receptions.

14th overall RB in my 14 team PPR league -- not too shabby at all for a guy drafted as an RB3 who was expected to do squat this year.

Keep on keepin' on, Reggie.

 

[footballnerd]

Glad he's finally getting a shot. See how its handled next year with D.Thomas' second year

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

That's the thing. I'm not sure Bush's resurgence -- which only came about due to Thomas's injuries -- are enough for Bush to retain even a 50/50 split. It may seem counterintuitive after his performance, but I can totally see the Fins relegating him to 3rd down/COB back and letting Thomas -- who did quite well when he was healthy early in the season -- tote the rock most of the time.

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

Not...a bust.... at all..... lol

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

Reggie Bush is awful.

Disagree

You waited for what, 1 series in the first game of the season, to bump your own post from almost a year ago? Nothing I've seen today has changed my opinion that no, Reggie Bush was not at all worth the #2 pick in the draft.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

We'll still take Sproles (and btw he had something like 240 total yards today so he still outpaced Bush).

Maybe Reggie is happy now, he's the star, everyone again knows what a great RB he is, he lives in a media center, and he plays for a loser. Congrats, big guy.

Well, the Saints won a Super Bowl, so I guess they used him reasonably effectively. Wasn't Reggie hurt almost every year in New Orleans?

Ha, that is laughable.To everyone who has seen Saints games with both Bush and Sproles to every man, woman and child, there is not a soul who is not happier with Sproles. This is the same offensive coordinator in MIA who turned Hillis into a big time rusher but look at his win percentages in the two towns. No... thanks.

Yea, cant really agrue about anything having to do with Sproles vs. Reggie. Sproles seems to have fit in perfect there. But I think Reggie being in a different offense helped him a lot

You can be happy for the guy without taking cheap shots at him. Don't know why you're so angry, the move seems to have worked out for both Bush and NO.

 

[=Smackdown=]

No love for Reggie?

I know it's the early rankings but I was a bit surprised to see Bush ranked as a RB21 this week.

Trying to figure out the reasoning for that low ranking? Pats go up big early forcing the Dolphins to throw, throw and then throw some more?

Edit to add: Especially considering the amount of yards the New England D has given up on the ground the last few weeks . . .

Week 15 vs DEN - allowed 252 yds on the ground

Week 14 vs IND - allowed 99 yds on the ground

Week 13 vs WAS - allowed 170 yds on the ground

 

[nysportsfan]

Pretty silly that we are comparing Reggie vs Sproles. Who cares? Let them both do well.

Reggie seems to have learned to run between the tackles better than ever. Is he elite in that regard? No, but he's clearly doing well enough that the Fins got a nice ROI.

 

[SWC]

i think that reggie is a beast from hell who runs roughshod all over the world and will now be able to destroy opponents now that he is offically the man

 

[=Smackdown=]

Updated rankings have Bush bumped up to RB12 - and IMO I think he finishes the week better than that.

 

[Doug B]

Reggie seems to have learned to run between the tackles better than ever.

I haven't seen Miami this year since their preseason game vs Carolina. But if Reggie Bush has become more consistent in taking the 4 or 5 yards running north-south and NOT dancing or bouncing outside to get stuffed, then he was bound to put up good rushing stats.Even by 2009 in New Orleans, Bush was doing a lot better with taking the inside yards that defenses gave. It would've been more apparent had he not gottten hurt so early that season.

Now listed as RB9Run Reggie Run !!!!!

What about now?I'm guessing Saint's fans would probably keep Sproles and be happy , but It seems Bush has not only closed the gap on Sproles, but passed him as an overall RB.

Fantasy wise, yes. Better NFL player, no. Sproles has a pretty legit argument as the best RB in the NFL last season.
