i dont know why we cant have both.

bush can return punts and kickoffs and get around 10 carries.

davis can be the go between the tackles bruiser 15-20 carries a game.

I think you have it backerds. If Reggie Bush is drafted by the Texans, expect him to see the majority of carries with Davis providing the relief. Doesn't make alot of sense to spend the #1 overall pick on a Domanick Davis backup. But then again, neither does re-signing Corey Bradford and starting him over Derrick Armstrong.

Also, it would be silly to take Mathis off KR duties since he is one of the best in the NFL right now.

Basketball is a sport were a single person can make a difference. Football is not. I mean how do you even make the comparison.

That's a fairly silly statement right there Coach C. One person cannot make a difference? Then how come teams say they're "one player away"? How come the Oilers draft Earl Campbell and become the "Earlers"?

One player can make a great deal of difference in Football if that player is a great player.
 
Hervo you generally are one of my bright spots, but the truth is one person cannot make a difference no matter how good they are. Barry Sanders, Emmit, Gale, Walter Payton hell even Jerry Rice all needed the rest of the team to be successful. You can put a star on an NFL football field and they lose repeatedly. You put a star on a NBA team and you are likely middle of the pack. Come on man we are talking two completely different sports and philosophies. I have even seen you post that one star player cannot make a difference guess I need to start trecking through 2500+ posts to find it. Herv you have seemed really pissed lately your thing under the avatar even shows that something is going on, come on man dont let it reflect in your usual good post.
 
Randy Moss, Carson Palmer, Ben R, Ladanian, Peyton, Urlacher, Roy W (dallas), Orlando Pace, Walter Jones, Chad Johnson, etc...

I'd take any of them and feel pretty good about one player making a difference. But I do know what you're saying. I think that if that one person was a pure leader, he'd make even more of an impact.

1 person can't do it by himself but the right 1 person can get others to perfom better.

You talk like you are the end all of football knowledge. When you reply to people you always talk as if they are one of your students and need to be set straight if they are not agreeing with you. (except when you reply to Vinny or Infantrycak) On here you're just another opinion. Get over yourself.
 
Bush Would Have Scored A Td On The Long Run That Dd Had. That Is The Knock I Have With Dd. He Cannot Break Away For The Long Td. Thats Where Bush Is A Gamebreaker. Bush Is A Td Manufacturer. If You Have The #1 Pick And Bush Comes Out You Do Not Pass On A Talent Like Bush. He Makes Thing Happen.

He Also Picks The Blitz Up Where Dd Struggles To Do This. So Drafting Bush Would Help To Protect The Carr As Well.

I admit Davis isn't real good at picking up blitzes but I fail to see how Bush is going to do any better whatsoever at it. Either way, do you want your "touchdown manufacturer" to sit back blocking rather than going out to catch passes for those "automatic" 80 yard touchdowns?

This is where people are deluding themselves about Reggie Bush. When has Reggie Bush had to navigate traffic and break tackles in college? That work is reserved for LenDale White. People seem to overlook the fact that DD puts himself in position to break those long runs by making moves and breaking tackles. He has a low center of gravity, powerful legs, and great vision. OK, so he gets run down after 40 yards. At least he broke through traffic to get those 40 yards. Reggie Bush has not demonstrated that he can do that, and at 198 pounds, that's unlikely. If he bulks up to 215-220, then you have the issue of him playing as well at that weight. If he's a lock to play that well at that weight, why hasn't he done it? In the NFL, you don't just get open space to run through. You have to create that space and DD does that. Bush takes advantage of his speed in the college ranks. The NFL is much faster.
 
$20 says we trade down for more picks, and select a lineman.

Bush goes to the 49ers, and the NY Jets trade up for Matt Lienart.

Texans take D'brick, or Winston.

I hope we do just that, hopefully we can trade down twice to pick up two extra second round picks and either two extra third rounders for this year or two extra second rounders for next year or a combination thereof. My current vote for OL is Winston, but I'll have to wait until after the combine to make my final vote on that.

No but he can pick up the blitz then run out to get the pass from Carr. Bush and a different scheme and a improved OL will make Carr a good NFL quarterback.

Man I just thought of this. We are the opposite end of the spectrum in regards to USC(California) vs. Texas. #1 vs #2 for the National Championship. The Texans(Texas) #1 vs. 49ers(California) #2 for 1st pick overall. :crying:

I do not want to draft OL for need when we can draft BPA.

Ok, so we lost. But Davis had his 2nd stellar game in a row. Ironic that the only player still trying and playing well is the one everyone wants to replace with the #1 pick in the draft.

It's the perfect scenario. DD looks very good and we continue to secure the #1 pick... It will be quite valuable to trade. I'm looking forward to stockpiling talent with the Bush/Leinart pick.
 
I still say take bush and build around him pick up two good lineman in the draft and two in free agency besides we are a good runblocking team just a terrible pass blocking team. There are probly alot of future free agent olineman who would love to block for Reggie (the human highlight film) Bush:drool:
