320 touches, 1600 total yards and 16 TD’s for a season.

Yeah, I think I’ll take that.

But why would you come out and say that Bush is going to get the ball more, less, or at all. As Belichick would say, “let the other team figure out what you’re going to do.”

Time to find a Leron McClain type to hammer those third and 2′s.

If everything else is clicking, he’s dangerous as a gadget type guy. You need three hard yards for a first down, you better look elsewhere.

The problem was off the field. As for Reggie he is doing great at what he does best – catch the ball out of the backfield and create openings for other players on the team (Marshall didn’t see much single coverage last season). The Dolphins do need a power RB though and a RT.

Why the heck did they move Carey to RG and sign Comumbo?? Wayyyyy better OT’s and OG’s were available. Columbo is a big downgrade at RT.

Your reasoning is weak. is 3.45 ypc an average we wanna see all season? no, but hes gonna need to run a bit or he wont be effective as a receiver out of the backfield, and that would really hurt the fins offense. 20 touches doesnt guarantee a certain amount of touches to be made between the tackles either…didnt you go to law school?

Lots of touches, no production.

________________________________

That actually is the story of his relationship with Kim Kardashian.

20 touches a game for Bush only makes sense if the other team punts 12 times.

Arizona during Whisenhunts era has only rushed 27% of the time so why not use Bush like Hightower was used.I thought they looked great on offense and I am a Skins’ fan

I foresee some big games ahead for Reggie in my crystal ball.

These guys have a ton of promise and I liked the way Sparano used Bush. He did capitalize on his strengths, and when he gets Thomas going they will be a very nice tandem. They were playing the best team in the league and made it very competitive. If Marshall, Henne, and the backs can stay healthy, I predict they win 9 games.

I saw it watching the Browns the last two years, why he has a job is unknown to me. And to hear the announcers praise the “Agressive” Offensive Scheme Ugh.. Good Luck dolphins fans and by luck I mean Andrew Luck…

He’s one of the better 3rd down backs out there but I think he’s pretty well proven that is his niche.

How is Sparano still a coach in the NFL.. Bush is inconsistent and injury prone.. Trust me i know I’m a Saints fan and celebrated when i found out he was gone.

Sproles > Bush

Why is no one in the media talking about the fact that Miami’s defense gave up 600 yards and that the only person in the secondary who looked like they knew they were playing a football game was Benny Sapp?

If Miami’s offense scores 24 points per game last year, they win 11 games. ELEVEN. Brian Daboll could be the second coming of Don Coryell and it wouldn’t matter with that defense.
