I agree! I have to admit Bush really impressed me this weekend. I have seen the highlights but wasn't convinced he would be able to do it against the faster players in the NFL. The way he accelerated on that screen has definitely made me a believer...

I couldn't believe how good Bush's feet and balance were. He also runs with a much more forward lean than he did in college and he has the ability to "be small" when he knifes through a hole. Bush was really impressive.

Great to hear about Higgins. This team needs his return ability and his speed at WR in a big way.

All the young guys looked pretty good. Bush was very impressive. JLH looks much more comfortable returning kicks so far. McFadden is very fast and will only get more comfortable as weeks go on.

I had my doubts about Bush but he reminded me of a Tyrone Wheatley in Ty Wheat's younger days. And Im not sold on Bone Higgins yet. Sorry. He did the punt run back last year in Seattle and people were talking about he is the next Dante Hall. Do it in the real season brah.

Brad Roll has done it again

He has gotten Johnnie Lee Higgins to take care of himself better & look what happened, it paid off as he has gotten more confident.

Keep it up JLH & Brad Roll.

I was so impressed with how effortless it looks for him. He just kinda flows...

I was pleasantly surprised by him, yes I know, preseason, game 1. But still. To watch him juke 2 guys and then plow through another on the way to the endzone... that was something to watch

Good to hear, hopefully this translates to the regular season unlike last year.

Thanks 40

I thought Johnnie Lee looked very good. He seems to handle the ball better this year. I liked that he ran back to the huddle after the penalty without so much as a dirty look in the Refs direction. Really guys, was that end zone gymnastic thing he has going on the best in the league, then the Black Hole Show Me Some Love(do we have a name for it, cause we've rarely seen it lately) What I like to see after a TD is handing the ball to a young Raider Fan, but that show was all good. Go Johnnie Lee.

if he was a bit taller he would be a good wr.

[THRO-slc]

Yes, but does he have his SWAGGAH back?

You see, there's swagger, then there's Al Davis swaggah, which is even more swaggerlyish.
