He could be a poor man’s Eric Metcalf.

Maybe have some sets where Reggie is in the slot in spread situations and keep him in the backfield in goal line/red zone situations as a decoy/PA threat. I don’t know. Slaton has been a pretty good pass catching back, so an I or shotgun set with both he and Bush in the backfield could be pretty dangerous and tricky to defend. That’s a lot of speed.

Reggie’s problem is that he was drafted so high and he has never been untilized correctly. I would bet the farm that if he played for the Patriots he would be a 1500yd + guy every season. Not a 1500yd rushing, but receiving/rushing combined. BB, the cheater that he is, knows how to create systems for his players skill set.

lets see, O-Line can’t block. LB’s can’t cover a TE to save their collective lives. The Safeties get torched regularly. Yep picking up a RB sounds about right. Gawd I hate being a Dolphins fan.

“Watching him sacrifice an extra three yards to try and turn the corner discusses me to no end.”

I doubt Reggie would understand how it “discusses” you.

Well anyhting is better than Bush as he has proved almost useless! I really like Thomas and that should be our focus right and maybe Slaton could be backup. There are so many things wrong with this team who knows where to begin…Yes, I am a fish fan too!

Can Slaton play RT? Also do they realise he didn’t play for Dallas?

They are hoping to lure Pat White out of retirement by bringing in his buddy. It’s a sound plan…

Slap a #85 jersey on him and stick him in the slot for good. He obviously can’t run through the tackles. Get him in the open field.

To be fair… he did have 11 catches for 71 yards. That’s more than most receivers had last Sunday. Need to give him some credit for that.

Uhh dude–that his season total! That’s not a 1 game log. Reggie is struggling hard. Steve Slaton is flat out better than Bush. Daniel Thomas is doing well so far. Thomas/Slaton can be explosive. Sprinkle in a lil Reggie. It’ll look alot better.

another back?

they had Ricky and Ronnie who could both run the middle and edge and were getting about 4.0 with terrible O line blocking…. yeah they were both up for contracts, but they could have both been signed for less than half of what Bush got….

so they cut R&R, shuffled O line, kept the same QB, and spent >$10M on, well I don’t know exactly how many… 6? RBs…

insane….

Ross should clean house… now

I speak for a lot of Texans fans when I say it sucks to see Slaton leave disgracefully. But Houston has four NFL-quality running backs as it is.

I hope Slaton plays well for the Dolphins, and I’m glad the Texans have already played Miami this year because I wouldn’t want to root against Steve.

Hold on to the ball, big guy.

This team is going nowhere fast. And employing the Brian Cashman strategy of acquiring has-beens that pitch well DOESN’T WORK with retread running backs who are really cut-rate WRs (Bush) or abused the HGH (Slaton).

“never done a thing” – To be fair to Reggie he does wear a ring, has played big in some Playoff games, and was an integral part of that 2006 turnaround post Katrina. It’s something. ‘Feast or Famine’ mostly but it’s more than Ricky Williams ever accomplished. You know he was the best college player you ever seen. Love ya Ricky.

People are rough on Reggie Bush. He’s not a feature back.

I like Reggie as a person, BUT….

Darren Sproles has shown what a bust he is as a NFL player. I understand that MAYBE NFL defenses keyed in on Bush and MAYBE that same treatment is to come for Sproles and will limit his production, but I doubt it. The decoy talk was overstated with Bush because the Saints O did as well if not better the 3-4 games/season he was out with an injury. Might Mouse is everything I ever wanted from Bush at a fraction of the price, not to mention he was a 4th round pick.

“Bush is the luckiest player in the league . He gets crazy endorsement deals & generous contracts , while contributing next to nothing on the field . The best move the Texans ever made was picking Mario Williams ahead of lady bush !
”

Reggie also dated Kim Kardashian and presumably enjoyed the company of her big eyes.

Bush is the Anna Kournakova of the NFL. Makes money, gets endorsements, never done a thing…..

So Slaton backs up Thomas and Bush becomes a 3rd down specialist that also returns punts? Makes sense to me, why wasn’t this the plan from the beginning?

Or does Miami still want to create an every down back out of Bush? Get the guy in open space, keep his legs fresh, accept reality. He could help quite a bit if used properly.

Anyone remember when the Texans were villified for picking mario williams over bush (and vince young). Another example of how your avg fan knows little to nothing about the game (these are the same people who really watch the SB to see the commercials).
