devildog0311 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 From my understanding Bush will be a free agent next year. Any thoughts on where he might end up or does he stay in Oakland again? Trying to plan ahead in a keeper league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Not sure where he ends up, but if he stays in Oakland, he'll be pushed out of the b/u gig by Taiwan Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I read somewhere that Atlanta might be a good destination and that makes a lot of sense to me. While I don't necessarily subscribe to the sentiment that Turner is finished and is on his last legs, the fact remains that he is turning 30 shorting after the superbowl and nagging injuries seem to be catching up with him. Atlanta is at its best when we get our power running game going. I like Matt Ryan as much as the next guy but he's no Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner or Peyton Manning. The Atlanta offense will not succeed throwing the ball 50 times a game. Snelling doesn't appear to be in the team's plans despite being a fairly reasonable copy of Turner. Rookie Jacquizz Rodgers appears to be primed for a long-term third down, two-minute drill back role. We will need another back to be our power runner unless the team plans to commit to Snelling. Finally, Atlanta has proven to be a team that is not afraid to sign a free agent running back. The last Atlanta-drafted RB to lead the team in rushing was TJ Duckett, and Jamal Anderson before that. I wouldn't be surprised if TD takes a run at Mike Bush as I think he would be a great addition to the Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delfamdelfam Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Eagles could use a big back and Ronnie Brown is on a 1 year deal so it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Rugby Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I would love to see him in Detroit. Best is too little. I would also love to see him in Oakland. Where is the Mcfadden yearly injury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonsoxandy Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I doubt Oakland will re-sign him....they have McFadden and Jones and I think they'll be content with that. Maybe the Dolphins--Reggie and D-Thomas are anything but good goal-line backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the Mcfadden yearly injury? crazy, you own Bush, lol McFadden's "yearly injury" is an overhyped myth, just because of a lingering turf toe issue his rookie year. ok well yes, he's gotten dinged up but most RB's do. 2010 was his first true full year and he played 13 games, carried the ball 223 times (and caught another 47 balls). yes, I'm biased, I'm a Raiders fan, and I love Mike Bush, but they have no long-term plans for him.

Zooty Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Reid doesn't believe in power backs or blocking TEs. sort of correct, he hasn't "hit" on a power back since he inherited Staley. He uses his pass catching TE to help block cause his OLine stinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many young RBs - DMC didn't know how to condition (i.e. the lingering hammy and groin injuries). As he's developed as a player, he's gotten much better at this.
