But isn't that why we added Tyvon Branch? I see him battling it out with Huff for that free safety spot. Best man wins. Might cause Huff to step up and be fantastic. Or perhaps Branch blows on by him. Either way, I'd be happy.



Again, we have Bush.

But McFadden won't be in there just on first downs. I could see us rotating frequently between the three, and/or presenting two back sets. More weapons on the field. Maybe we see McFadden on 1st at RB, then on 2nd at wing back with Fargas at RB, then on 3rd as a WR with Bush... who knows? Sure provides Kiffin and Company a lot of good options though.
So they have Bush, he hasn't played a game in two years, and you guys act as if he's going to be a world beater out of the gate, I sure hope to hell you are correct, but any layoff is going to affect him regardless of what is said at workouts and OTA's, not quite the same running routes and plays in shorts and shells versus wearing full gear and having collisions at full speed against a different team.
