Hi Kris.

Domanick is one of my favorites too.. and if we drafted Bush the most likely scenario is that Domanick and Bush would share carries. This would be alot easier on both of them, protecting them from injury due to wear and tear.

Morency has never really been considered our "star of the future".. he was intended, i think, when we drafted him, to be the guy to share carries with DD. It didnt happen before the new staff got the boot though. Morency still needs alot of polish, and im thinking it is most likely that he will ride the pine until his contract is up, then he will make a go at it somewhere else.

The one problem with Morency and why I could see him making problems is he is already 26 years old. When he gets done with this contract he will be 29 years old. What are the odds on him ever getting a significant FA contract at that age without having serious starting success here which is unlikely behind Bush and DD.
 
yah his career might be over before it starts. Id be more than happy to use him as trade bait.. get him somewhere where he could get his chance.. but I dont see how we can. Now that Wells looks like he might sign elsewhere..we need the depth.
 
Dominick could use the help. If Morency isn't as strong as they first thought he might be, I can see getting Bush. I cannot see Bush ahead of DD. I do have a feeling however the Texans will trade down.

Bush will easily start over Domanick. I've been as much of a fan of Domanick as anyone else, but he has a certain limit to his capabilities and potential that Bush far surpasses.

I agree, but I would still start DD, let him wear on the defense, and bring in Bush later. To me, this isn't about who's better, but rather about what I think would work best overall. Of course, you don't want to limit Bush's carries anymore than necessary.

First welcome Kriss. Good job on reading befor posting. Luv LSU. Always good football players there.

I'm with you Ham. Bush starts as the third down back. DD carries the load. 2nd and long, third and long, bring Bush off the bench into the slot. Lots of folks have swallowed the hook, I'm still nibbeling. 201 is still 201. I do believe He'd be ok as the KR. If I was going to try to move anyone it would be Mathis. He'll never have a higher value than he does now. If we could get another day one pick for him I'd make the move. JMHO.
 
I don't think we are going to be using the Number 1 pick....and the money that comes along with it as a situational player. Cause thats basically what people are saying when you say he will you come in the game after DD wears down a defense or he will come in on certain downs. First off....DD isn't the type of back to wear down a defense anyways, and second....if we draft Bush, by the 3rd game he will be starting. the only reason he won't be starting the first two is out of respect for DD and to help Bush get into the feeling of an NFL game.

And if he isn't starting by the 3rd game....he will be at least taking 75% of the running touches.

It's not really DD that would be wearing down the D, it's the O-line (well, hopefully). More than that though, my point was that, however many carries DD gets, I think they should be early in the game because I want Bush in there with the freshest legs possible and I want the D as tired as possible. What I'm doing is ignoring the designation of "starter" and calling them both "starters".

Bush, DD, AJ, Moulds. If the O-line holds up and Carr shows us something, we're going to need (and probably get) a lot of offensive plays.

Also, Bush can play in the slot some when DD is in there anyway. DD should definitely be used some because he's certainly getting paid for it.

I don't know how much Davis is really going to wear down opposing defenses for Reggie, if anything having Reggie run all over the field will wear defenses down then you bring Domanick in to spell Reggie. Either way I think Bush will still get 60+% of the carries on average and matchups with the opposing defense will determine who gets more or less carries each game.

I understand what you are saying. But i'm hopeful that if we are going to be drafting anyone with the 1st pick....we are high enough on him to expect him to be able to come into a game and have an impact without having another guy tire out the defense. Having someone in there doing the dirty work makes Bush a situational player no matter how you slice it. And i don't think or at least hope we wouldn't use this pick on a guy we can't expect to go out there and start right away. After all it thats one of the many reasons we aren't looking at a QB. The need for an immediate impact....throughout a game...not on 3rd down or the 3rd and 4th quarters.
