It's no longer an IF here, so that will make the trade all the sweeter.Low Life said:Just Curious as to where you guys think DD fits in the scheme of things IF we get Bush?

DD will still be the starter, unless any other RB, maybe 34, play very well.

One has to let Reggie learn about the nuances of running in the NFL. He does have an advantage over DD because Reggie has been in the zone-blocking scheme. Still, Kubes has to let DD increase his trade value IF Bush is drafted. IF we draft him.Texan in Japan said:You really think DD will still start? I don't think so. Bush will be the starter and depending on the play will be either in the backfield, slot or split wide. We'll probably see formations where both RB and DD will be in the backfield.
Overall, RB's and DD's dual production will make us a much stronger and more exciting team.
I agree with you. I see it in a way that DD is our starting RB and Bush would be our starting athlete. Its like, we can have both of them in the backfield, DD in the backfield and Reggie in the slot, or Reggie in the backfield and DD on the bench, DD in the backfield and Reggie on the bench. I also think that Reggie will contribute on punt return, so that will be about 4 or 5 of his touches a game.mexican_texan said:It's no longer an IF here, so that will make the trade all the sweeter.

Okay, DD, you're starter AKeldar said:I could see them both starting a majority of the time. Who knows, it may be the Fullback who ends up losing the most playing time.

yes he didPlease_Evolve said:He really didn't amaze as a punt returner at USC.
TexanBacker93 said:Denver essentially had 2 backs run for 1,000 yards last year in Bell and Anderson. I see the Texans using both Davis and Bush in a similar manner. Hopefully it keeps them fresh and injury free. With an improved offense the Texans should have fewer 3 and outs this year. I think they led the league with 4,509 last season. This leads to more offensive plays . Each of them could get 225 carries. I'd see Davis ending up in the 900 yard range and Bush in the 1200.
The downside for fantasy footballers is figuring out which one is going to get the carries from week to week.
Morency will probably end up replacing DD.phan1 said:I still expect DD to be a big contributor to this offense. I'm actually more worried about Morency, who certainly has talent and could potentially be a starter for another franchise. It's great that we have him, but I have to wonder the value of having a guy like that on you're team. He's going to get a real nice paycheck for a 3rd string runningback, and you could easily trade him for a good linebacker or something. But I guess it's better than having Bennie Juppro on our team. (I think I mispelled his name, but that wouldn't happen if he was on the field a little bit.)
What do you guys think about Morency's situation?
B.Diddy said:I think next year we will go with the running back by committee system with bush sometime lineing up at reciever i also see alot of trick plays and reverses being used with two speedy players like mathis and bush on the team it worked for Pittsberg
Frank_The_Tank said:I think that we should focus on OL, LB, CB, S, or QB. These are positions that we need help in.
Frank_The_Tank said:I am a Davis Fan, I do not think we will take Reggie Bush. We don't need him. When the time comes to pick, I think we will find the trade we want and ship Bush to a team that is willing to take the risk. In the NFL, scratch that in a business, if you have a productive guy, a proven Running Back, you do not trade him for a guy with as many questions as Bush has, or trade him for a guy who no one knows if he will produce. Will Bush be big enough? (In comparison to the majority of NFL running backs he is very small) Can he run betwen the tackles?? (He never did in college so it makes it hard to tell) Will he get hurt??? (Almost every back his size has had major injuries within the first three years) These are the thoughts that make me think he is not worth it. Davis and Morency are more than enough to work in the Kubiak system, you dont have to have a super back to work in this system. I am guessing that Bush will want 26 to 30 mil up front and 55 to 65 over 5 years. I dont think you want that kind of money towards the cap on a position like RB where we have the talent. I think that we should focus on OL, LB, CB, S, or QB. These are positions that we need help in.
Bobo said:Denver had an offensive line that could make just about anybody a 1,000 yard rusher. That's why they have cut loose RB after RB and continue to grab folks like Ron Dayne and turn them into stars. And that's why the Texans have gotten everything backwards. They are putting the cart before the horse and wasting a #1 pick on a RB when they need to set the table for any guy named Joe by putting together a strong OL.

I'm pretty sure he was hurt at least twice in the season, but only the SF injury was enough to take him out of the game. Join me in bashing Carr, but you have to agree that Carr is one tough SOB.El Amigo Invisible said:I hope Carr can stay healhty. This has been a major concern of mine.
