Reggie Bush is Soft

Only Kim Kardashian hits harder than Shelden Brown.

So yesterday's post ended up being completely bogus.

After I hit 'publish post' on this thing, I compressed two weeks' worth of draft studying into about three hours. I was like Mel Kiper Jr. lite. Or at least on all the positions that the Cowboys needed.

I ended up watching through pick 13ish and listening to the rest on Sirius. Here are some thoughts.

• Von Miller ugly cried when he got picked second. Somewhere, Ron Ron was giving him a slow clap.
• Cam Newton is excited to play for the Camolina Camthers. Cam!
• I thought the Falcons made a gangsta move until I realized how much they gave up to get Julio Jones. Ouch. The Browns could be building some stairs out of the AFC North basement.
• The Lions have the nastiest front line in football. Somewhere, Jay Cutler is already on crutches.
• I shouldn't be allowed to tweet during these things. The tweet that followed the Jake Locker pick at 8 was a little something like this: lololoolololololollolololololololoooololooololololololooool!!!!!
• Any time you can take the 45th best player in the draft at 12 (Christian Ponder to the Vikings), you just gotta do it.
• The Ravens committed a draft faux pas in passing on their pick. They still got their man but still. Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard.

But I want to talk about Reggie Bush.

Last night, the Saints drafted Heisman trophy winner Mark Ingram. The guy is just awesome and he was the best running back in the draft. Everyone makes the obvious comparison to Emmitt Smith (the number, the not quite top-end speed....we can only hope he has the complete lack of broadcasting prowess that Smith had) and I think Ingram could have a similar career, even though the days of a true one-back offense are over.

Bush acknowledged the pick with the following tweet: "It's been fun New Orleans."

This is why I've always hated Reggie Bush. He's not tough, mentally or physically. He's not going to run between the tackles. He's not going to stay in bounds and fight for more yards. He's not the guy you want to give the ball to late in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. He's a slot receiver that lines up in the backfield.

Instead of challenging Ingram for the running back spot, Bush gave it up faster than Kim Kardashian on the first date.

The Saints owe Bush almost $12 million dollars this next season. That's not happening.

At least they'll have a running back that can break tackles against NFL defenders now.

Tacklers like this one are the only ones that Bush could ever break free from anyway.
