Do You Think Bush Is Too Small To Be A Successful Running Back?
Sometimes I wonder when fans will learn about Xs and Os instead of just see what they see. WR should run an in, but runs and out, QB throws an interception. People immediately say "Who was he throwining to??!!?" Run blocking opens up no holes, so people say "Why isn't the running back doing anything?" Or "is he too small?"
And against the Ravens, I knew that was going to show big time. I still think we're a much better team than them and beat ourselves, but make no mistakes, their run defense is second to none. Deuce and Reggie both had 5 attempts, Deuce got 11, Reggie got 16. Give credit where credit is due.
When the dome patrol in the 90s held Barry Sanders to only 10 yards (one of the most amazing feats in NFL history), I wonder how many people asked "Is Barry Sanders too small?"
Run forward and be patient young man.
There are six gaps across the offensive line. In the rare cases where one has been open, Reggie has went forward and made nice yardage. But those gaps are just being blown up, especially yesterday.
