VikesGuy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 What was the deal with Bush last night. I really didn't have the oportunity to watch him all season. Can the kid run up the middle? It seemed like Texas was really focused on him last night. White seemed to be the better future NFL back last night. If he can't run on a college team that is keying in on him. How is he going to produce in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 No real comment other than I like hearing the word "bush". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Furley Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I was thinking the same thing. Last night was the first time I have actually gotten to see him play. He's quick as heck on the outside, but I was hoping to see him running through the holes a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Well, White is a better between the tackles runner than Bush, no question. He had good success last night, so they stuck with him. White is a good back, and should have a nice NFL career. I think Bush has the upside, the home run threat, the LT like ability. That being said, 6'2 235 backs w/out great speed, have some question marks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyknocker Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm in total agreement. White looked much more like an NFL RB. Bush has speed and moves but I just dont see him as a feature back in the NFL. He will definately be an asset to whomever drafts him but I doubt he will produce as an every down back, I certainly dont see an LT or Alexander here, more like a Dunn. I do think White would do very well as a feature NFL back. He could do very well in a Donco unioform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilly Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Speed kills. Did you see Bush's TD run? He makes one cut, darts to the outside, and outruns everyone to the pylon. That is NFL speed. He'll be fine. That being said, White looked extremely impressive himself. Good power, speed, and decision making. But the USC O-line had a lot to do with that as well.

wildcat2334 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Dunn?? really- I think LT/Faulk are the closest comparison- the knock on them both coming out was whether they could be an everydown back as well. White is an excellent between the tackles runner, but that speed Bush has to hit holes, as well as the corner is ridiculous. He will put on some weight- and be fine. Alot of 6'2 235 lb backs w/out great speed flame out in the NFL......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I bet he's a bust in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Little Bit Special Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Speed kills. Did you see Bush's TD run? He makes one cut, darts to the outside, and outruns everyone to the pylon. That is NFL speed. He'll be fine. 1249449[/snapback] Yeah he got to the corner on that one, but there were also plenty of plays that Texas strung out for no or little gain. The pros have a lot more time, resources, and expertise, so I guess if they think he can do it in the NFL I'll have to take their word for it.

pedroz13 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I bet he's a bust in the NFL. 1249458[/snapback] Bold statement....but some people probably said the same about Kijana Carter, and now they are proven correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I would compare him more to a Barry Sanders...negative gain or a HUGH gain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I haven't watched him but it sounds like things that folk were saying about Carnell. He panned out pretty well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Talker Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 If nothing else, I think last night's game raises questions about whether Bush is the slam dunk #1 overall pick that everyone thinks he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 It's the same way they used him all year--pretty much. He can line up wide, but he did run between the tackles during the season. Last night, a lot of backs could have run between the tackles with some of those holes that White got. He'll have problems getting the corner in the NFL, but once he does, he got moves like no other.

Randall Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) Now Kiper is saying he's a 15 carry a game player and needs to play with a "thnunder" type of runner. That sounds a lot like Tatum Bell. Kiper sure does flip flop. Frankly I think he could be more like Tiki with some weight room work. I haven't watched him but it sounds like things that folk were saying about Carnell. He panned out pretty well though. 1249652[/snapback] I have watched him and he has some power too. It seems like these analysts are trying to hedge their bets now. Edited January 6, 2006 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) If these analysts are flip-flopping, at least Houston doesn't feel they have to take Bush at #1 if they don't need him (which they don't). Houston should move Carr and grab Vince at #1. That guy can scramble well enough to not need all the O-Line help the Texans need plus keeping Vince in Texas would be HUGH for ticket sales.

isleseeya Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The fact that Bush was on the sideline for huge stretches of the 4th quarter did not bode well ..I know that USC had the lead and was trying to grind behind Landell ( sorry can not spell his name ) but in crunch time in a big spot like that i would expect my star / stud to be in there ...even on the 4th down play , Bush was not even on the field ...found it strange and a bit telling Young stock rose big time and I think he should jump to the NFL now ...
