Thread: Bush looking forward to playoff run with Bears

Oh yeah, definitely, Germans. Bush would be the primary back in such a scenario, but Bell would be a solid number two. (And I don't mean poop.)

Bush is a great pickup. But losing a Pro Bowl running back will hurt. The ideal will be to have Forte AND Bush, with Bell as a #3 backup to these two. Bell is not at the same level as Forte and Bush. Solid backup though.

I would hope that Lovie and Tice would choose to use a healthy dose of all three running backs to their advantage. Imagine the yardage we could pile up on the ground!

Here is what excites me. If defenses HAVE to respect a rock-solid running threat on any given down, then the passing game gets a lot better. So even if we don't amass great rushing yardage, we still benefit tremendously. We should be a feared passing attack AND a feared rushing attack. Gotta love that. Move the chains all game long, every game to the Super Bowl.

that's why I have no problem with Forte crying out loud. We already have competent RBs under contract.

I'd Bear Down that but seems like the botton is missing, a bug perhaps?

And finally, we wouldn't have to remember the 1985 team as the only great Bears team in modern times. lol

We're a better team with Forte AND Bush. Bell is just an average RB. Not bad. Nothing special. We could say "let Cutler walk" because Jason Campbell is "competent".....but we're a better team with Cutler. If you want to be a great team, and actually WIN a super bowl, you need the players to DO that. Just having "competent" players won't get it done. That's one reason why we have not won a super bowl since 1985 - and we only have one stinking Lombardi Trophy. It's disgusting.

Gone are the days of Rasheed Davis and Hester as a #1 wr. Play action passing will finally have a nice punch to it.
