If the Texans don't trade down to pick up: a) A solid lineman b) Another receiver c) Whatever the hell else they can find they're bigger idiots than everyone in the league already thinks.
agree w/ previous comments: until they fix the o-line, it doesn't matter who the texans take. vy, bush, etc. will get killed. i think it's impressive what davis has been able to do, considering how bad that line is. trade down, get d'brickshaw ferguson from virginia and picks. bush can be effective in the NFL, but he has to be used w/ some creativity like he was at usc: in the slot, in the backfield, on punt returns. he's been likened to gale sayers and should be used with the same versatility in mind. i have some serious concerns about vy's effectiveness in the pros. at UT, his offense was completely geared around him and what he could do exceptionally (shotgun, zone-read, 8-15 yd accurate passing, the occasional long pass when WRs were being covered in man coverage). in a system designed to take advantage of his strengths, he flourished and was arguably the best player in college football. Here's the question: will any franchise in the nfl turn their organization upside-down to accomodate a rookie QB's strengths? or will they force-feed him into their coach's system, in spite of his unique talents? i suspect the latter (see jim mora jr trying to force-feed vick into a west coast offense, when going through passing progressions is the weakest part of his game). i hope someone does use VY the way he was meant to be used, but i sincerely doubt it.
The Lions have a chance at the field minus VY, Leinart, and Reggie Bush. They even have a chance at LenDale. I think they will draft VY because he's a local kid, but the problem will come when they try to find a misguided soul to take the next Ryan Leaf, Dave Carr. The Saints are the only team right now with no QB's at all. They have one they use, and he's a third stringer with the other 31 teams. Aaron Brooks has played his last game with the Saints. They could draft Leinart, trade nothing for Carr as backup, and keep the man they got as a third stringer/ emergency QB. However, the Texans will be ticked off at giving Carr for nada, not even little. I worried about the Texans search for a new coach. Somehow, I have a feeling they're gonna blow it, like how the Packers blew it today. They coulda, shoulda brought in Jim Haslett. He would've been great for LenDale and Rodgers. Young dude for young kids.
Dallas was right when he said davis was good they are gonna pick bush 1# but At 6'0 200 and being a rookie, he is prone to injuries. also being known as not a 20 touch back. bush is going to see half the touch they should split touches 50-50 reggie bush is going to be like larry johson (hopefully) i like him
I honestly think the texans passing on bush would be like the the portland trailblazers passing on JORDAN for sam bowie.....Don't get me wrong Vince Young is a hell off a player but reminds everybody off that waste of space RON MEXICO. Reggie Bush is part Walter payton, gale sayers, barry sanders,and the hits of Jim Brown all rolled into one.
Joe88, has anything you've ever predicted come true?
grrrlacher, thats a good analogy. Regardless of who the Texans take, they are not going to be a contender next year, and I think Bush is just too good to pass up. I love Vince Young, but Bush has more potential to be successful in the NFL. Midwaymonster said he hopes Bush turns out like Larry Johnson, and that could be how this turns out. The Chiefs didnt really "need" Johnson, granted Priest was hurt the year before, but to pick up a back with that much talent is going to be good for your team.
I agree with Midwaymonster. Bush will not be able to carry the whole load....... Did we forget how USC used him. Bush needed White to spell him. Whithout White, The huge O-Line, great receivers and a Heisman QB we would not be talking about Bush. Barry Sanders nor Gayle Sayers ever had a supporting cast like Bush has, in college or pros....... The media hype also boosted Bush. Remember last year when they were so high on this freshman called A.P. he was considered the best RB in College. Bush did not even get half of the votes that Peterson did. This year Peterson was not even in the running. Petersons team is rebuilding .
