Joe Jets fan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So I have been thinking for a while and I am still waiting for Harris and Holmes to have there contracts re-done so we have a little more cap room. If that happens the number one FA we should be after is Bush. Why some will ask, because he is the perfect RB for the offense we are going to run. This offense needs a quck RB that can catch the ball and make things happen in the open field. There might not be anyone better at this then Bush. We do not need him to "ground and pound" anything. Powell will be the one running for the tough yardage. Bush has not taking a lot of pounding and is still young enough. He is the explosive player on offense that we have been missing for years. Look at the Eagles teams, they always have had a explosive RB during MM years there. You get Holmes back with Karley (both good fits for the new offense) get Hill to play like he did in first Buffalo game last year. ( I think he lost confidence, he can get it back) Add a one more WR in middle of the draft and the offense would be so much better. Now I know everyone is just going to say it sucks no matter what because Sanchez, but it might not be him starting. Give the QB's that are going to compete something to work with. Now there are OL problems but signing Bush is a way to make this offense much more explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbanmadmike1 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 They should be able to fill RB in the draft, there is no point in paying a vet who is injured most years anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 They should be able to fill RB in the draft, there is no point in paying a vet who is injured most years anyway. Agreed. If he was going to come cheap, I'd consider it...but he wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 RBs for cheap only. A little deflating since he could perfect here and is the right age for a Jets FA target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 reggie bush actually was running like a real #1 RB (between the tackles) last year and year prior. It would be a good pickup for this team. rumor has it Reggie Bush wants to play for a SB Contender so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Pass on Bush. There are a lot of decent RB's in the 2-5 round this year. Adopt one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Jets fan Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I understand everyone wants to fill positions on the cheap but you have to remember, RB is what the new offense is based on. You have to have a good one. as for him wanting to play for a contender, yea thats an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but you can get RB's late in the draft without giving a 3rd contract to an older, injury prone guy with 1400 touches on his tires in the NFL. If you want to sign a FA running back, Amhad Bradshaw is a much better option but even he doesn't make much sense for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Guy I’m intrigued with this year, and he is a RFA in a deep back field, is Chris Ivory. I will be very interested to see what the Saints are going to do with him. I’d give them a call in a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Bradshaw can do any of the things catching the ball in space that Bush can?? Look at the Eagles offense the last 10 years, thats whats coming here. Its west coast with a premium on throwing to the RB. Just for once I would like to not go Square peg, Round hole. get players that fit the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 There is no way they will let him walk. We'll see. I think they are going to tender him, but I also think they might be tempted with a mid rounder. Like I said I'm intrigued, not obsessed. I'd inquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Robbins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I would prefer a RB that can handle a little bit of hot sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 MM's last RB, LeSean McCoy, is listed at (5'11, 205). We have Powell, (5'10, 205). McKnight, (5'11, 205) and Griffin, (5'10, 205) Bush is (6'0, 205). Am I the only person who would like to see a RB that can compliment what we already have, rather than duplicate it?

TnT Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Doesnt Reggie Bush despise Rex? Money talks...but we're not throwing more at him then someone else will...a team like the Redskins would be a good fit for both. He wont be a Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
