Reggie Bush likely to see reduced role in Miami

[Mr. Scot]

Per Jason Cole: Bush’s role with Dolphins already lessened

That talk was still strong before the Dolphins played the Houston Texans on Sunday in a game that nearly ended the Dolphins’ long streak of home sellouts. Miami coach Tony Sparano talked about how Bush, who had 11 carries and nine receptions in the season-opening loss to the New England Patriots, would get about 20 touches a game.

During the loss to Houston, Bush got seven (six carries and one catch), gaining a grand total of 21 yards. In two games, Bush has 17 carries for 56 yards, which is pretty much in line with his career numbers. Considering rookie Daniel Thomas(notes) had 107 yards on 18 carries in his debut Sunday, you can understand why Bush’s time as the fulltime back is probably over only seconds after it started – even if Bush still wants to hang on to the dream.

“I can be that type of runner. I know I can handle the work,” Bush said in a matter-of-fact tone.

The problem for Bush is that his game doesn’t play well between the tackles. Never has, not even in college...

I'm shocked :sosp:

The Saints are scoring points at a record pace, have gained more yards than anyone else, and yet, they have not one player in the top 5 in offense.

Just shows how much everyone knows because 90% called Houston stupid for not taking him way back when.

Called it when he was playing at USC that he'd be a bust. Score one for F1P2.

He's impossible to cover coming out of the backfield.

It's a pride thing at this point "I must be a 20 carry a game, workhorse back".

He can do things many other backs in the league can't. Why he hasn't accepted that and moved on is beyond me.

[Darth Biscuit]

He's been a solid producer for the role he's had, but given the hype surrounding him when he was drafted he could be classified as a bust.

His problem is that he's still hanging on to the "star" tag everyone put on him and won't let it go...

[Davidson Deac II]

Good receiver out of the backfield and a good return man. But he was definitely not worthy of a top 5 pick. If you look at that draft, the Houston draft team comes off as geniuses.

[Saint J]

The Saints picked up three pro-bowl players in that draft and he wasn't one of them.

He's deadly catching the ball out of the backfield, but no you don't spend a top 5 pick on that.
