Just a quick survey from a Saints fan...


Hello Raider Nation!

I'm writing a fan post over at CSC, and trying to do a quick survey...Would you, as a Oakland Raiders fan, want Reggie Bush on your team. Do you think he could make an impact? What would you give up for Reggie? If you would want him(or not), please explain why (or even why not) in the comments below. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Not for us

We have a player with similar skills that we are trying to figure out how to use. We have many more pressing issues to tend to than a high profile third RB at the moment.
He seems to fit well into your schemes, why try to ditch him? Between him and Thomas and the high powered passing attack, you guys are set.

yeah..

i can see that…ya’lls running game is fine, and the defense is solid too…pretty much an o-line/QB/WR situation here right?

by GRlZZ on Mar 16, 2010 11:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

O line, MLB, DT

in my opinion. Our WR’s are young but have a huge upside if we allow them to develop with a good QB (BRUCE G).

I'd rather have Bush than DMC

Bush has proven something i the NFL, DC hasnt

We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…

I like mcfadden

I’d love to have him, I think he still has a chance to breakout.

which bush?
I dont think reggie could ever be a lone RB on any team, he’s always had someone there in the backfield with him

I meant the 1 we got... lol

#### him and his team.

I’m tired of hearing about threat. This guy is a threat. That guy is a threat. Here’s a threat: This Oakland team better start winning some games or I will start leaving burning bags of poop on Mr. Davis’ doorstep, ringing the bell, and running away. Haha. I called the 5hit poop.

by golfswithglock on Mar 17, 2010 4:37 AM PDT reply actions  

you don't think McFadden can be a threat

when he’s out in the open when he has the ball? They didn’t use him right at all last season, with inside runs and a few pitches.

by patriotguy on Mar 17, 2010 12:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think the light went on

for Reggie in the playoffs. He had a chip on his shoulder and was delivering punishment to tacklers. Something I hadn’t really seen from him. I hope a similar light goes on for DMc. You need to be physical to be successful in this league…save the dancing for the endzone.

Maybe with two Bushes Cable would remember to play one of them

Hey, what do pantie-hose and Bush have in common? They both irritate Cable. (did I get that right?)

by Sons-of-Blanda on Mar 17, 2010 11:43 AM PDT reply actions  

No

We already have an underachieving speed back who the coaching staff has no idea how to use, why would we want another? I’ll take Brees or Sean Payton if you’re in the offering mood.

One area where Al

still has it is recognizing young coaching talent. Remember how he tried to get Payton?

by transparent58 on Mar 17, 2010 12:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

No thanks

Our Backfield is young and should suprise most of the league next year. I guess you can say Darren is gonna turn out just like Reggie. Never quite what he was supposed to be, but still a huge help offensively and a nice weapon.

Are you guys shopping him over there? Do you, as a fan, want him back in black in gold? I mean, I would if I was a Saint fan

Yeah we have a love hate thing with reggie

It’s kinda bad but we love him when hes good hate him when he’s dancing (Until it actually works) but to answer your question…yes we still want him in N.O.

by GRlZZ on Mar 18, 2010 8:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

Great player; not a need for us

if we didn’t have a McFadden, or Dallas didn’t have Felix Jones, or MIA, Williams or Brown—explosive, home run guys. You’d see it with Darren if we got the ball to him downfield and in the open field; we’ve failed to do that miserably. Definitely don’t need another guy to prove that we’re incapable of moving the ball downfield. Darren should be a deep threat on almost every down, whether lining up in the backfield, motioning, in the Wild Hog, or in the slot or wide, if you worked to create a mismatch by putting a linebacker on him in coverage, or one on one with a corner in the open field when he’s going downhill. It’s been maddening to watch him run into the back of a tackle, or into traffic on the ISO; he should’ve been the outside guy and scatback, with Bush running off tackle, inside, and up the middle.

I mentioned those other teams because those, like us, are teams likely not very interested in a Reggie

While there are a great many others who need an explosive threat to complement other strengths they have.

Philly. Buffalo, Cleveland. SF, NE, STL… I could see teams like these being highly interested in Reggie. This draft has a lot of Dexter McCluster type players who are intriguing too.

I think we can expect just that from Hue. An offensive guy looking to use his strengths to create mismatches

If we get the blockers, and keep Grad healthy, and get his backup reliable too, this offense will formidable well into the late season and offseason. The sooner we rid ourselves of the distraction Jamarcus is increasingly becoming, the better off we’ll be. That said, I know we’ll have to wait and see until he sucks himself into the annals of the league with Leaf and others.

I wouldnt want him

he isnt worth the money he demanded coming out of college. He is a decent change of pace back, but thats the extent of it. he is too fragile to be a featured back. He has also show a consistent tendency to not know when to just go with a fair catch or run out of bounds. he doesnt get that he isnt so fast that no one can touch him in the pros. he could get away with those playground antics in college, but no at this level. he is as much a liabilty to fumble trying to make something happen or get injured as he is to get the first down, or bust the big one.

by Scrivley on Mar 19, 2010 1:38 PM PDT reply actions  

our bush is better!

i would not trade for him because we have our bush and macfadden. what you should do is keep him and sign fargas to put a fire up his butt

by sports with steve on Mar 20, 2010 6:33 PM PDT reply actions  

not at all unlikely, with Bell being cut loose

and make no mistake: Justin will compete for a majority of carries.
