Raiders notebook: Bush not pleased

[BlackOut]

Am I missing something here? I think I would welcome any opportunity to showcase my skills. It's not like there moving him to center.

Looks like conflicting reports...I know I would much rather be on the field @ FB getting a chance in short yardage and to catch a few passes in the flat getting burn than behind a guy who's coming off a 1000 yard season who just signed a huge deal and a #4 overall pick with an even bigger deal than playing the bench.especially when I havent even touched the rock in a regular season game yet & coming off a terrible knee injury that kept him out for two years.. I hope the first report was correct & he makes the best of it. I think its better for us and a better career move for him...


But then again WTF do I know!

I'm not happy either you don't see anyone interviewing me.

[Undertaker]

I feel for him, why should he be relegated to run blocking. You mean to tell me it's that tough for an NFL team to find a ****in Fullback? Fullbacks aren't exactly the most sought after position, and i'm more than certain that there are good ones on the market. Keep Bush at HB.

This is exactly why you don't collect players at any one position. They won't be happy. This is Marcus and Bo all over again. You need one, just one, marquee back and a fair, but humble, NFL backup for spot duty or injury. Collecting 3 of these backs is just asking for problems. C'mon Al, either play them or trade them.

bush is a dynamic bush, would rather give him carries then fargas. they are about to kill this kids career. i def feel bad for him. they should def have him and fargas or him and mcfadden on the field at the same time, but not as a run blocker!

[EastSideRaider]

You know he's definetly dissapointed that he has to play FB, he's a playmaker. He wants to be in a position where he has the ball in his hands. He will play FB if we need him to, thats how understanding of a player he is. Also proves how versatile he is. Bush will get his chance, he will make the other teams goalline defenses cringe.

Bush isn't going to stay there

[DakotaRaider]

trade him for a receiver

Yeah, I think this will be a non issue. In the meantime he can suck it up for a short while.

2 words for ya jon ritchie. micheal bush needs to get the ball with a full head of steam. hes a tailback not a fullback.

[MadStork83]

You need a marquee back and a blocker back. And add one that can do both. Oakland has had humble blocking backs, it's time for another. I'm talking about someone like Steve Smith or Jon Ritchie. Those two, along with Van Eeghen, would as soon block as carry the ball.

Dude, you are right on with Ritchie. He's one of my favorites.

Priest holmes played full back for Baltimore behind jamal lewis. This is his opportunity to get on the field with starters, he is a great receivers its a win-win temporary thing.
