Does the "not good" news have to do with Shaq Lawsons shoulder ?
Does the "not good" news have to do with Shaq Lawsons shoulder ?
I'll take a stab at the not good...
Shaq Lawson won't play at all this year.
I find this pretty exciting news. Yes, all the issues bring up with Bush are true. However, our guys saw places he could add value and went out and talked him into signing here and going through our process. It indicates we are doing proper due diligence to make the team better. The injury history and his ability to rehab is certainly a question but his body has not had the same punishment of a 10 year back with his skills and abilities either.
I suppose my idea of due diligence would have been finding a younger more versatile back and not skimming the surface for shiny retread, but hey. I think people think they're getting young Reggie Bush when they aren't.

Whatever.
I don't think there's anyone here thinking we are getting a young Reggie Bush. Natty Hackett is not the OC, and we won't be sending Reggie between the tackles on 1st and 10.
I think everyone is pretty much meh, but he could be an asset if used creatively.
I'm not overly excited, but it is what is is and I'm fine with it.

I think more of the idea is to use him mainly on Special Teams on a regular basis, particularly as a punt returner. That's one thing that isn't settled on this team yet. We already have a crowded backfield at RB, but they may just use him in certain packages as a pass threat out of the backfield, and not really have him actually run the ball so often.
The Bills may want him as a veteran presence in camp so McCoy doesn't meaninglessly overdo it in practice this year...they've said that they want to be more careful about that this year across the board. Remember when like all of our running backs were out last year in training camp? Like what, five of them?
I gotta say that this move doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me even considering what he may be used for. Maybe it'll work better than we think, but at least the risk is very low as far as I understand. The potential payoff may be worth it, as long as we look at it for what it is. He hasn't even made the team yet, really, so I'll go along with it. Another thing to be interested in seeing how that plays out, to me. The man has skills when healthy for sure, even now IMO. Let it play out, I says.

Roman gets another toy for his O. I dont mind it. So far he knows how to play with these toys.
What scoop?
Mitch said that the Bills had already signed Bush SIX days before he was actually signed. He said this when it was basically known that the Bills were interested in Bush.
I don't see the scoop, but I see him being wrong.
4, 2, 3, 1 until that idiot Spiked posts another video about Kardashian, too. Those things are interesting to just about anybody.

Why the hell did they have to put him in #22?
I think they did it just so you could finally get the **** over the fact that Fred Jackson is not on the team anymore.
Do you think his number should be retired? jeez.
Bush probably asked for the number when he saw which ones were available. There was 22 and 29...that's it for the 20s.
So what?
