I watched him a few times, he's a very talented player, but I see more of a Julius Peppers, rather than a Reggie White. That isn't a knock, but unless you're taking a White caliber player, I don't see any justification over selecting him over Bush. Besides, the Texans went out and signed a DE, Anthony Weaver, making the selection of Williams even more diminished. The Texans, in hindsight, probably should have went with Bush/Justice/Tapp, or Bush/Kiwanuka/Trueblood. Either one of those, would have been better then the Williams/Ryans/Spencer that they had.

Everyone's fast, but not everyone's 4.2 fast. Bush, has gamebreaking speed, and also is probably one of the most elusive players to ever come into this league. I'm not going to call him a Barry Sanders, because he probably isn't as durable, but he'll be an elite player.

I wouldn't mind seeing him become a bust. I'm not wishing a bad career on him, but all the publicity he was getting during last year's college football season started to make me hostile towards him. It's nothing personal, but after all the "Reggie Bush this" and "Reggie Bush that," it starts to annoy you, and I wouldn't mind seeing him not live up to the hype.

Again, I'll be glad to see him succeed, it's just that all the hype and publicity around him bugs the hell out of me.

I'll admit, I thought it was annoying too, but Reggie Bush doesn't strike me as a prima donna, at least not yet. ESPN, always shoves cameras in front of people's faces, Bush responded better than, say, Terrell Owens would have.

Yes, that's what I mean. It's nothing against Bush, it's just the fact that the media wants to hang off of his dick so much, which is enough to push me over the top with him.

It's nothing personal with Reggie.

Here's another thing I've been thinking of...

Gary Kubiak, the Texans coach, has been with the Broncos, behind Shanahan for about ten years. What are the odds he begins to implement Denver's zone blocking scheme in Houston? The old offensive line coach went to Atlanta and now they're the top rushing attack in the League. Who's to say it won't, over time, be the same case for Houston? If it is, he won't need a Reggie Bush type to be able to run the football successfully. There could be something to the fact that they picked up Ron Dayne, who is perfect for that system (ran it at Wisconsin)

i think atlantas running #s have a lot to do with a qb who runs for more yards than he passes for but theres no denying denvers offensive line play over the last 10 years

I'll ttt this thread in three years and we'll see how things are going. I'll take six wins at least this year.

They would be a better team with Reggie Bush than without him. That's all it comes down to.
