Reggie lights it up again

Why don't people give it up, it's only preseason.. It doesn't count for anything. I'm happy with our pick of Mario but I'm not going to bash the experts because we passed on Bush when he doesn't hjave good stats. Why does a new thread about how bad of a pre season game he had every week.
 
Funny thing is.. Last week had a fumble that was lost.. and I never heard another word about in his 6 yard run highlights of last week.

That is because he either "spiced things up" with a 6 yard run or he "juked and danced" for 6 yards. It is hard to make "fumbled the ball" sound good.

Are we going to have 3 backs who ended up with more yards than Reggie during the preseason?

Yes, but it doesn't matter at this point. If they have more yards during the season than he does then it will matter... You do know preseason doesn't count right? That's why its PRE season.

Dude... you dont know that... AND Pre-season gives insight (is not, but gives insight) to how a player will preform in regular season. So far, For less then 1/2 of this years signing bonus (not including his salary), we have 4 capable backs..
 
Nobody fumbles like Reggie! Did you see that? It comes out so easy and fast! He only needed just a few yards in the whole game to cough one up. It takes most RBs at least 30 or 40 yds. to get to that point! What an amazing feat!!!

Reggie (drops) rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111 :bananasplit:
 
Reggie Bush is the man. Yes it's only preseason, but the truth is the guy doesn't care; he's a big gamer and is waiting to turn it on when it counts. He just isn't inspired to excellence against these second and third teamers he's been averaging 3.1 YPC against. Wait and see, Reggie is the man!!1
 
Bush has not played a live down.. and your calling him the man. ROFL. He has potential...but he hasnt proven nothing to me at this level yet. And wont until he has 2 or 3 1000 yard rushers.

BTW LT is the man, Dom Davis is the man, Larry Johnson is the Man, heck, even OT is the man. Reggie is a boy rigt now.
 
Well, I wouldn't go as far as Jerek's sarcasm does( I hope its sarcasm) but for rookies the preseason is used to adjust them to the NFL. It would probably help if he did have blocking, but I'm no expert. I still don't think that Reggie Bush is going to excel like experts have predicted, but it doesn't deserve the bashing and the constant starting of new thread about it, thats all I'm trying to say.
 
Personally, I think He has quite a bit of potential. I Dont think Bush should be bashed... But I am getting quite tired every game I hear about how we made a mistake on taking who we took.

Total sarcasm dude, I would have thought my post history and 2nd/3rd team comments would've demonstrate that, but if you haven't read it, that's fine.

Sure Bush would benefit from an O-line and a real offense. He's also dealing with the fact that he's no longer that much faster than everyone else, is going against defenders who take correct angles, and the understanding that to succeed in the NFL you have to be able to run between the tackles. I've never thought Reggie was the Next Best Thing in the NFL and I've thought he was overrated since ESPN first announced we had the first pick in the draft. IMO he will never be more than a pretty decent ex-collegiate standout.
 
For all the off-the-wall marketing that has gone into the Bush camp which has tried to elevate him even more by simultaneously tearing down the Mario pick, I think that seeing a once a week thread as a venting outlet for Texans fans is more than acceptable. Those not interested should just graciously refrain from participating. I haven't heard anyone call Bush a rapist or murderer........no real "bashing" has occured, just a lot of harsh reality comments based on factual performance. The day that Bush's performance is elevated to his hyped level (to which he himself has been heavily involved, i.e. self promotion), and Texans fans distort the facts and denegrate the man........then the accusations of "bashing" can be cast. Until then, the facts are speaking for themselves.
 
No matter what. I am so glad the Texans didn't take Bush. Can anyone honestly say that he would do more for our team than Mario? After these few preseason games it has became obvious why we didn't take Bush. Late round backs seem to excel in this system and Mario is already making our defense much better.

Bottom line is I would rather have more W's than have kids across the nation wearing Texans jerseys because of an overhyped player.
 
:dangit:

that smiley bout sums up what i feel when i see new reggie bush threads. we probably have more posts about him than the saints mb.
 
I don't understand why you guys make such a big-deal out of a rookie's pre-season? What do you expect from the guy? 100 yard games? You don't see other fans bringing up the fact that Mario Williams hasn't exactly had a "gaudy" pre-season either. Guys like LaDanian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, didn't do much more than Bush did during their rookie pre-seasons.

And no ones mentioned he's playing behind a mix of second stringer offensive linemen.

You know what, you are absolutely right. Contribute the success that our RBs have had this preseason to our O-line.... which is gunna rock your world this season (well, one game for you guys).

Reggie will revolutionize the act of fumbling. All other fumblers will become obsolete once Reggie hits the regular season. Mark it down now, nobody has ever fumbled like Reggie before. Guys who can fumble like that come around once every ten years... maybe.

;)
 
then bashing.

I mean all i keep hearing constantly on ESPN and NFL live.... well look at what reggie did...and the texans will be kicking themselves this season for passing up the "most exciting playmaker in football to come in years".

I think Reggie will end up like Archie in NO and like Barry in Detroit. Good player but not enough talent surrounding him. They just left Donte Stallworth go after a breakout year... Not sure if they feel they have depth at receiver to afford that or what.... i digress on that franchise in total though....

I'll end on this..... Reggie will have maybe 5 good years in a 7-8 year career if he's lucky and even more so a sniff of the playoffs. Meanwhile Mario will progress this year and next as a DEFENSIVE END( god i get so tired of over analyzing him being at DT) and in the long run pay off as a member of a great rotating D-line here.

Did i mention playing for a organization commited to a championship team.
 
And let the excuses begin, as to why the greatest RB in the last gazillion years is sucking Louisiana swamp water. This is the same guy that was supposed to revolutionize the game. He could leap tall buildings with the greatest of ease & outrun/jump anything known to man. Or, at least that's what ESPN thinks. :rolleyes:

Reason's why Reggie Bush sucks!

Excuse #1: It's the offensive line's fault.

Excuse #2: ______________
 
It's pretty lame that someone would start an entire thread on this. Some of you guys are obsessed with Reggie Bush and it's so obvious.
 
Was Reggie ready for the big game when he lateraled it like a moron in the Rose Bowl? He is too used to making the spectacular play and isn't content taking what is there. Don't get me wrong, he is going to be a successful running back at some point (I think), but it is way too early to expect greatness from him.

Go Mario!
:mario:

Believe me, I was in the Reggie Bush camp hardcore. I loved the guy. Followed him all throughout college and was pumped when we clinched the Reggie Bush sweepstakes. And words cannot express how irritated I was when we passed on Reggie Bush. I mean, my MySpace page was devoted to the guy, and we passed on him and boy was I pissed. But then I started to do a little research on the Kubiak system. I started learning about the one cut and go routine. I started learning a little about the zone blocking scheme. And the fact is, a Reggie Bush just does not fit the Kubiak style, the same style that led Denver's Terrell Davis, a 6th Round Draft Pick, to stardom. I have nothing against Reggie. What I cannot stand is the constant bashing the Texans receive. You think what we are doing on here is bad? Have you listened to SportsCenter? I mean, try having to listen to someone bash your first round draft pick almost everytime you turn on ESPN. It drives me crazy. So yes, it does make me a little happy to see Reggie not live up to the hype. The day ESPN and the rest of the sporting world quit bashing Houston for passing up the "next Gale Sayers" is the day I quit bashing Reggie Bush. Until then, let the bashing continue. And man, that sure was a pretty fumble....

I seriously doubt it would be a problem for Reggie to run behind our line. From what I was told before the draft, USC used some Zone Blocking. & if we can open the holes for Reggie that we've opened for joeBlow, Reggie would kill.......... so they say. If our OLine does their job, and get Reggie into the secondary, or seal off the outside corner......

Because that is what we are going to do for Wali, Antowain, Vernand........ whoever is tote'n the rock for us. & that's what ESPN is going to say. It don't matter if Reggie ends the season with negative yards, and a busted leg. The Texans still wouldn't have made the right move, because of what could've been.

However IMO, our offseason vs the Saints..... as of now, after what we've seen in the PreSeason........ The Houston Texans are better at putting together a football team.

Last year, we weren't competitive on either side of the ball. Going into the regular season, it is my opinion that we will be. The Saints..... looked to me, that the Katrina thing & the distractions it brought kept them from focusing on football. Talent wise, I've always thought they were amoung the most talented NFL teams. Now..... they have questions about their QBs health(which was never a problem with AB), and his ability to get the team going. They can't get their running game going, and defensively, they've desperately brought in some fair to middle linebackers, they can't stop the pass, they can't stop the run....

Reggie plays in a conference with Tampa , Carolina , and the Falcons . If Reggie ends up great he will have earned it ... but he can only juke so much then he better head north these defenses are tough .

Any out of towners cannot understand the crap we've heard since April for not taking Bush . If Bush flops it will discredit these blowhards and maybe next time ( 07 Titans ) they will not be so critical of the 1st overall pick .

Most of what I'm seeing in here is fans making fun of the ridiculous amount of hyperbole surrounding Reggie Bush. People on football boards all over the net recognize how over the top some of this attention is (and has been). We're making fun of the hype and not necessarily Reggie Bush himself. Of course just because we passed on him that means we're jealous or worrying about him and not just enjoying the joke that the marketing of Reggie Bush has become like everyone else outside of New Orleans.

I also don't see anyone looking insecure here except for maybe Saints fans who have to keep coming back and reassuring themselves that they got the player that Texans fans supposedly all wish their team had picked.

Seriously man, FEMA called and they're going to stop subsidizing you Saints fans message board accounts here. It's time you guys went back home.

Exactly--Reggie Bush is the RB of the decade, century, etc. Of course the day after the draft the pundits were debating whether Adrian Peterson is better than Reggie Bush. Decades sure have gotten short.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Hervoyel again.

The whole pathetic story

Bush waiting to make impact
Saints rookie shows he can take big hits, while team looks for ways to use his talents.
Click to expand...

It’s side bars like this that causes one to have to comment. He takes one hit by a safety in the game, and it’s big news that he got up OK. Isn’t that what even the most average RB is expected to do??? That “shows that he can take big hits”???? Give me a break.

ya know, when u get 4 carries, its hard to keep a rythm. most guys get stronger with more and more carries because they get a rythm going with where the best blocking is taking place.

Yeah.... that is why Reggie wasn't even on the field when So Cal was against the wall in the 05 championship!

So far all Reggie has proved is that he isn't anything but overpaid and as flakey as California tofu hype... especially until he proves he is something special in the NFL!

I DO AGREE... the truth is Reggie doesn't care because he has guarnteed money in the bank and in the end really doesn't have to face reality... yet. Then he is going to have to want it and bleed desire if he ever does anything in the NFL.

I am cured! Somebody that hates ESPN's analysis more than I do... But you left out WHY ESPN HAS TO BASH THE TEXANS. Simply said, ESPN wants you to watch their show because it is nothing but a collection of visual "high lights".... not a show about teams that win!

Reggie Bush through individual accomplishment has the best chance to be a sensation... ESPN wins. Ta Da! ESPN is not interesting in thinking about winning games...just ratings.
 
I dont blame RB for having a crappy preseason.... he is on a crappy team. But I do blame him for his mistakes. That fumble should not have happened. He needs to learn how to hold that ball. Three points of contact, all that jazz.

lol, same with the 6 Terrell Owens threads from the past couple of weeks.. No other boards obsesses over others than the Texan's. Flame me all you want, but I'm getting tired of seeing a Reggie Bush thread after everyone of his games, talking of how "poorly" the guy played.
