Stay @ 205pds!!....

10 carries 49yrds 1td......we have been discussing whether it was because Bush was to small, to scared or just not ready for the NFL ground game yet, I think that Bush (rushing wise) had hit the "rookie wall" but instead of it being in the second half of the season I think it was in the first half, simply because I dont think he knew what it took to be an NFL Back, I think playing the Steelers may of woken Bush up, he ran well inside and outside, but gained most of his yards just by taking the ball making one cut and attacking the hole, if you watch on a couple runs, once he got in the hole he did a couple moves and gained a little more yartage, on the fumble he took the ball outside but once he saw defenders he cut it upfield to get what he could (but fumbled) I think that the talk that he wasnt big enough should be put to rest, I think the real question was "Is he tough enough" he showed it yesterday (to me) and I think physically he may not be a 220pd grinder but he is a tough and shifty 205pd explosion waiting to happen, His toughness is whats gonna get us a 1st down on 3rd and 1 (warrick dunn, tiki barber, marshall faulk, curtis martin, clinton portis) its toughness thats gets them the tough yardage they dont need to be 220pd guys, they didnt need to forget what got them here and hopefully Bush and co wont either, better blocking upfront will help also, but gaining weight will only take away and maybe make him injury prone...toughness and protecting the football is what he needs to work on.
