Michael Bush Oakland RB is a free agent. I don't see Oakland paying what he should make. He has been outstanding in relief for Mcfadden.He could and probably should start for any team but he would be a great compliment to Reggie. 977 yrs rushing 7 tds 53 first downs and 418 receiving yds. I have been watching him since his college years and he is head and shoulder above Hilliard or anyone else on our roster.(not named Reggie) I also think he is the best available RB on the market. You may not agree. But if we fix the QB, Then RT/RG, FS, RB and TE should be next for an upgrade and off that list RB is the cheapest free agent.
Been on the M Bush bandwagon for years now. He'd be a great fit for us at a solid price. If that doesn't work out, I think Tolbert would be a lesser version of him.
I've always been a fan of the bigger Bush. If you can get this Bush to cram it up the gut, while still having the little Bush to help keep yourself flexible, it ends in a double happy ending for us.
The "big" Bush is more than able to pickup the blitz and catch the ball out of the backfield too. Definitely make sure he doesn't have to handle the full load though.
That he does. I'd like to see us put him and Reggie on the field at the same time quite a bit. Certainly would solve any goal-line issues w/Mike as well.
He'd be a great add but financially I'm not sure if it would be a wise move. I'm not sure how much money he'll be getting in free agency.
Daniel Thomas doesn't deserve that role, imo. I'd be extremely worried if he's still the #2 RB going into the season behind Reggie.
I remember the good ole' days when more Bush was a good thing. Nowadays you're seeing less and less Bush. Personally, I think a little Bush is better than no Bush at all. But, too much Bush, is well...just not as appealing as it once was.
i cant think of a pair of RB' s on a team were both make like 5 million a year, thats a waste of money for 1 resource, i cant think of any team that has a situation like this, the 2nd guy is almost a guy still in his rookie deal or a cheap veteran, maybe the giants , but i cant think of any team that has so much money tied into 2 RB's
At this point I think M Bush would be a huge upgrade over Thomas. As well as Reggie did last season he still is not a third down between the tackles goal line kind of RB. Yes he proved he could run between the tackles, but I would rather have 245ld Bush doing that job. Daniel Thomas couldn't block the sun last season, at this point he is a liability and needs to be traded or cut.
The real question is how much would we have to pay for all of the Bush? I'm ok with paying for a little Bush but I don't want to overpay.. What if one of them is worn out?
Especially when we have a set amount of money in our pocket... We don't wanna fall in love with the bush now. That's just a rookie mistake... You admire it then you go home and try to tear that free bush up...
