EnglishBengal Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 [quote name='joshua' timestamp='1332261512' post='1109389'] I think knowing Bush can throw decently is a threat to defenses the same way the 06-07 Steelers were. Hand off to Bush, Defense comes up to play the run, and then he wings it down the field to Green. Keep em on their toes. [/quote] That's what I was thinking. Gadget plays if you like, flea flicker! He was very good at this in college. It doesn't hurt to have another somewhat unothordox weapon in the playbook, when it comes to beating the opposition.

Jeff Blake Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 [quote name='DaltonGreen' timestamp='1332260734' post='1109381'] It's been completely silent all morning. The anticipation is killing me to find out if we will sign Bush are or other players that we may not know are visiting or that have already visited. This years free agency has been disappointing. [/quote] Don't get your hopes up. The Bengals are bastards when it comes to negotiating. If Bush wants to be here he will sign. If he wants to squeeze as much money out as he can this won't be a slow process with him.. We may move on to someone like Kevin Smith or back to Law Firm if he doesn't like our price.

Squirrlnutz Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't like gadget plays. Remember BScott trying to throw a backward pass last year? What a mess. Maybe one day we'll be able to pull one or two of them off per game, but I hope Bush's ability to throw isn't on the forefront of their minds.

Line blocked well, hawkins was in the right spot and would have gotten a huge gainer, and dalton pitched it at the right time. just not to the right place.

DaltonGreen Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I wonder if anyone besides Bush came to visit. Its been an extremely quiet day in the jungle. Even Joe reedy has only posted like once on his twitter all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
