I remember there were alot of people(not saying on this board) who wanted him over maroney, so I was just wondering how he was doin his first 2 games
sarge said:He has 12 carries for 28 yards.
And what is scary is 20 of those yards came on 1 play where he basically ran for 20 yards untouched.
So even the 2.33 yard per cary average is a bit misleading.
His problem is he starts jukeing before he even gets the ball.
scott99 said:I haven't seen any highlites of him yet, I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. Probably back up DeShaun Foster this year, and is good insurance in case Foster get's hurt this year. I'm pretty high on him, but always like Maroney & Bush better, especially since Williams has had some history of injuries. He should be a very good back though, with a chance to be great.
scott99 said:Why does everyone try to take away long runs. If Bush doesn't have that 44 yard run his average is 2.8, blah blah blah.....Their stats are their stats, period. Imagine if Maroney runs 20 times for 150 yards (7.5ypc), but has a 90 yard run, "well you take away his 90 yarder and his average is only 3 yards per carry", well.....ya can't take away the 90 yarder.

Ichiro said:Watching Bush last night I thought he looked very average. It looks like he was not ready for the speed of NFL defenders.
Looks like Bush has to get ready for the NFL not the other way around.

Well, as has been discussed by other posters, what you are interested in is how 'productive' a back is, or better yet, what contribution he is making toward the team winning. There is, of course, no way to carve 'statistics' to tell you the answer to that in black and white - which is part of what you are questioning.scott99 said:Why does everyone try to take away long runs.
