Incentive for Punt Returns is where Reggie makes his money.

 

Does this scare anyone else??? I think Reggie is going to be a fumble/muff machine trying to meet those incentives.

 

(fumble/muff is funny)

As opposed to other players being incentivized on yards, TDs, etc...?

He's been a very good pro. I could see them bringing him in after week one (he's familiar with Roman, shouldn't be too much of an adjustment) if someone goes down or appears to need more development. If not it's time to let the young guys go get some. I'm looking forward to the camp battles personally.

How so?

I remember people were shocked when the Texans drafted Mario over Bush. Guys like him and Spiller don't translate well to the NFL. It's a much more physical game. It's different in high school and college where you can run away from everyone. As we saw with Spiller trying to bounce it outside EVERY PLAY you can't do that in the NFL, everyone is fast

I listened to a few minutes of NFL Radio on my way in to work this morning, and Ross Tucker was asking fans to call in with one word to describe Reggie Bush's career. I didn't hear any callers, but the word that came to mind was "unsatisfying."

 

Bush hasn't had a "bad" career. He has done some good things and he has a Super Bowl ring. He's been in the league for 10 years and he's a guy teams had to gameplan against. But he hasn't had nearly the career he or fans envisioned, thus my conclusion.

 

If all Reggie does is provide the Bills with a reliable kick returner this season, I'll be satisfied.

for a #2 pick he didnt produce like youd want but the dude has 9,000+ rushing/receiving yards, and averaged a TD once every 20 punt returns (in his first 3 years, a td every 12 returns).

 

his 3 years as a lead back outside of nola he produced 3100 yards rushing (4.6 YPC) and another 1000 receiving.

 

Ive been a little back and forth with my thoughts on how SP used him in NOLA. he had a lot of explosive plays, but then weeks where hed have 2 reverses and random draw play as his only carries. SP has had some good production from the backfield when you layer in passing, and cumulative stats for the group -- but individuals havent shined rushing the ball in bulk in his systems

i think that is probably fair - you see the spark from him and its exciting but its been a roller coaster with injuries, scheme, role played, etc..... he has a ton of potential, but you couldnt argue that he reached it. some players you watch and know that they got the most out of their talents and everything lined up right. i cant say that about reggie.... and its not like it is something that you can be mad at him about (not like he didnt learn plays, or was lazy or bad off the field...). it just didnt come together like it could have.

Yet Bush has found a way to be productive in the NFL

 

He has not lived up to his draft status.....but.....he isnt bagging groceries either

I was more or less being sarcastic when I said bust. It's a deadpanning Twitter remark for anyone that was drafted high with high expectations.

 

I think Bush had to reinvent himself to make it in the league. Anyone that thought he was going to be the Reggie Bush from USC (which is why he was #2 overall) was delusional. He ended up being a good player but he was never going to live up to the hype. He will be good in this role for us (assuming he still has his wheels)

Agreed. And the return he gave on his draft pick only matters to the team that took him, not us. I expect he got a deal similar to the 1 year, $2.4M contract SF signed him to last season (maybe less). A RB like him is needed, especially with Karlos' 4 game suspension looming. It makes sense and looks to be a good signing.

I was thinking he was in SF for Harbaughs last year but i was wrong. I don't think Reggie makes it to the regular season personally.

no, but Kromer was his RB coach in NO the year he was first team all pro.

 

EDIT: I just heard Reggie say on radio that he met with RB coach last night and the terminology is similar to what they had last year in SF because Roman brought it with him. So there is a bit of an SF connection.

So familiar with Roman by default. I was half right. I forgot about Rex and the hot sauce incident with Reggie. That should be interesting.
