  • Would you or would you not re-sign Bush?



    I would but for a reasonable price. The gunner play has been great, he's improved (there was a lot of room for improvement) in coverage and I like his production on his pass-rush.

    Thoughts?

    Resign if cheap. Great on special teams which is important, but can let go if a good gunner who plays db better comes along.

      Special teams has sucked wind for years and you're going to be a cheapskate about the gunner that's helped it finally turn around? I'm not willing to go back to the "special" ST performances we endured before. Let's not believe that we can bring someone in and we'll just coach 'em up. That's a long, slow process around here.

        Agree Zig. Besides, he will be paid as an ST gunner and not an elite CB.

          He'll be affordable, and worth the investment. He's a capable #5 CB too. Not likely to find a better CB who also plays gunner. A CB who could be a #3 on our squad is probably too good to risk as a gunner on ST.

              Sign him or its Pat Lee in the slot as Woodson's backup.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                He won the SuperBowl, you have to re-sign him.

                  Bush also has experience at safety. He is a coaches dream on game day when setting the game day roster. One of your best ST players who is at least a reasonable back at both CB and safety. Besides, he is a bit of an oddity in that he seems to be improving each and every year.

                    He's a good player. The only way we don't keep him is if somebody overpays.

                        He still makes me nervous in the defensive backfield whether it is at corner or safety but his special teams play really is special and his versatility is second to only to Woodson in our scheme so we should keep him. Barring, of course, some team paying him starter's money.

                          Hell no....he is at that age where he has had every chance to develope as a CB and hasn't. That roster spot is for a guy who might develope so....in with the new young guy.

                            It may all come down to what position Bush really wants to play in the NFL. If he thinks he's good enough to be a starting CB or safety and some other team offers that opportunity and cash, he's gone. The same thing happened with Desmond Howard. He wanted to be a wide receiver and the Raiders gave him the opportunity and cash. His greatest value to a team was his return ability but he wanted the chance to prove himself as a receiver. Didn't work out too well for him as far as being a receiver and Green Bay has been trying to fill his return role for almost a decade. TT has a very tough decision to make on this one. You don't want to lose a special teams ace but you can't overpay for that position also.

                              No. He is a HUGE liability in pass coverage and for all the talk I hear about him being "a good blitzer" I can't remember the last time he got a sack.

                              He is a special teams player, nothing more.

                              An undrafted free agent could replace him.
