    Because he is taller?

    Bush is a lot faster, and a lot more agile, and it isn't like he is short.
    Bush is really a CB, Rouse is a big safety, so it is hard to compare directly. I see Bush get beat a lot in coverage. I always thought he was pretty awful, and am surprised he has stuck as long as he has.
    Rouse demonstrates his athleticism with specatular interceptions. Like Bush, he is inconsistent, takes bad angles at times. Rouse is very agile for his impressive size.

      I like the creative thought Mr Oday.

      No way Bigby gets cut. Traded? Maybe. You just don't cut a guy named Atari. If you do, I will miss yelling "TwentySixHundred!!!!!" at the tv screen.

        lol I thought I was the only one that did that! My girlfriend kept looking at me like WTF are you talking about? ah 26 year olds they only remember nintendo!
        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          AB is not playing with the same recklessness like the 07 season. Appears not recovered from injuries and looks tentative.

          Shall be unsurprised if eventually cut.

            In my former life as a basketball coach, given two guys of roughly the same ability playing the same position, at cut time you keep the one who is taller.

            But I think I'm hearing Waldo say that Bush has more ability than Rouse, or perhaps it's that he has more possibility of reaching his upside than Rouse has of reaching his - and that the ceilings aren't that much different.

              Atari Bigby has as much chance of being cut as me waking up with tits tomorrow morning. Just cause it might make some people happy doesn't mean it is going to happen. He's on the 53. He starts against the Bears and then it is his job to lose.

              Overall I think the DB cuts are the hardest position to predict. There's so many injuries that have scuttled to camp competition combined with guys that only do one thing really well.

              You have to keep Blackmon because of return skills. But I want to see a young guy take him out of the dime. He's not that good.

              Bush played great last game covering kicks. I think people really underrate that. If he beats his blockers of the edge and either makes the play or forces the runner into the coverage that saves us 5 to maybe 20 yards of field position.

              What about P. Lee? He hasn't shown much and we drafted him as a bump and run corner for the old defense. But, he's a 2nd rounder, he's young, how do you cut him?

              Rouse has shown NFL level ball hawking ability. But, he's not fast and he doesn't hit. That, by the way, is why he will NEVER be an NFL linebacker. He doesn't pop people. I think his upside is a middlin' starter that makes enough big plays to keep you interested. But, that's not bad for a backup.

              IF we keep those four, then where is the space for Underwood? He's been my favorite rookie to watch. I love his length and attitude. But, I think this is a practice squad year for him.

              Peprah is gone. I wish him well.

                        If Bigby gets cut, can we call you Boob Dobbs?

                          Yes definitely!

                          I'll have to change my avatar and the surgery isn't cheap, but I bet it'd be worth it. I'd never be bored again. A lot of new jobs would open up. Lotsa upside.
