Does Reggie Bush have a Learning Disability ?

Apparently he had one incredible game yesterday in Miami based on 170 + yards of rushing on 26 carriers including a long TD run of 60 some yards. I'm told that he was looking like the guy who when coming out of USC in 2006 was supposed to be the next great back to enter the NFL ? Well he's been anything but that until yesterday, but this is his 7th year in the league. Has the learning curve to
be an effective NFL running back been that steep for Bush ?

In fairness to the guy, he was never given the full-on workhorse role at New Orleans. I actually thought the Saints used him the right way. He's not built to be a pound-the-middle running back.

So he has one great game for the Dolphins. I'm still not overly impressed. A lot of players come out of college with otherworldly speed and find out the NFL is about how well you take a hit and how well you bounce back from taking a hit. Give me Ray Rice any day.

Yep, and of course he was sitting on my FFL bench.

And he will probably be sitting there this week too.

He was playing Oakland, coming off a short week + traveling coast to coast.

Let's not get his Canton bust ready just yet.

Did he have a fantastic week? Absolutely.
Can he do it again? We shall see.
