rebdog Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 anybody think Michael Bush could be in for a good year? he had a nice yards per carry average last year. Justin Fargas is gone. they're talking like they want one guy to do more of the work and he's got the workhorse body type as compared to DMC. i know DMC won't fall completely off the map, but with more solid QB play, you'd have to think Bush could be good especially in a TD-weighted league.

You are reading my mind! I was just thinking the same thing today. I am actually targeting Bush in my draft this year and am wondering how long to wait to pull the trigger. Great OL in Oakland, decent WR, solid QB and a scat back in DMC makes Bush a solid #2 RB and an awesome #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 As a Michael Bush owner, I am not too hopeful that he will overtake DMC for a majority of the carries in Oakland this year. He may have a couple of really good games, but I'm not convinced that they will ever really give him a chance to become #1. I think that any talk about competition for starting RB there is probably just motivational, but not sincere. I could be wrong (would love to be wrong) but that's my take so far.

polksalet Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 McFadden is a horrible player who lacks the tools to succeed in the nfl. I've been saying this for a couple of years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron2112 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) Cable talks about wanting to get McFadden the feature carries(and always has). If DMac can hold up physically is questionable at this point... Bush hasn't conditioned himself real well in the past, and it's apparent that either that or some other unknown factor landed him in something of a Tom Cable doghouse up to this point. Personally, I don't think either will be a bell-cow type. Edited May 10, 2010 by byron2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't think either will be a bell-cow type. Agreed, McFadden will see some decent carries with the occasional Mike Bell numbers for Bush but nothing extrodinair I'm thinking. But, it's kind of speculation as well, depending on how well Cambell manages the team. If his passing game is good, it could open some opportunities for both McFadden and Bush to get some good numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Bush was a sleeper for me last year and never did anything when he had the chance... I've kinda wavered a bit, but may take a late round flier...but if their OL starts to improve, the run game could be pretty consistent no matter who lines up back there..

Rovers Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I think Bush could be a nice #2 RB between the tackles 2 down RB this year. Fargas is gone. Fargas took a lot of touches away. McFade can't stay healthy. let me ask this.... B Jacobs or Bush.... who do you take? And why? Similar situations, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Cmon it's the Raiders. They should be better in an addition-thru-subtraction way now that they have a better QB, but I see RBBC and nothing worth more than a $1 auction bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Bush - less mileage... +1 I also think that Bradshaw is a better player than DMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
