D. Bush Starting At Safety

[954CaneBoi]

Ends some of the speculation, at least for now...

Bush, a U.S. Army All-American who spurned Alabama and Auburn to try to resurrect his 6-6 hometown Hurricanes, is practicing at safety now, said his dad, because the Hurricanes need some young blood at the position to join seniors Ray-Ray Armstrong, Vaughn Telemaque, A.J. Highsmith and Andrew Swasey.

They're going to put him whereever they can if he can contribute. No one will know where he's playing until fall camp.

 

[jevoasis]

Seems legit

 

[Port Knox]

Get him on the field, period!

 

[JHallCanes]

Temporary move IMO. Who knows though, he could beast at safety.

 

[PowerIslam aka Sumdumgoy]

I for one hope he pans out at Safety. We need someone with range back there

What do you think Sniff?

I think the kid looks like a first class AAA athlete that we want on the field ASAP

+1.

If he can cut it there it would be a huge plus because for as bad as we need CBs we need S worse. A rangy ball hawking S would be a blessing (now people who saw him in HS say he isn't that but who knows).

would love 2 have the next sean tayler/ ed reed duo back there... bush and carter next year

 

[Ethnicsands]

Done told y'all so.

 

[Bigtip]

kid is similar to Antrel Rolle who was more of a natural corner but out grew the position. either way it is a major upgrade athletically in the secondary

 

[DMoney]

He played there at 7on7 last week. Still think he's a better corner. Doesn't have safety instincts.

 

[Bigtip]

all around I really like the DBs that we've been targeting with AG vs randy. RS failed miserably at the DB spot. pretty much blew his load on DVD and Harris

 

[Chicken_N_Roffles]

+1 more for hoping Bush can be that guy we need at Safety. Haven't had someone with his ability since KP at safety.

 

[gogeta4]

like him at cb more so than safety.....

hes more comfortable at cb (his words)...and i always like for young guys to get in and get comfortable at a spot so they can just play rather than be late reacting....

Would like him to start at cb...get his feet wet then move him back to s.

Its just 7 on 7 so it isnt that serious..when we see him with the pads..it'll be different...i havent seen him run the alley and make a hit on a rb in high school...so it will be a learning curve in college similar to what we see with Kacey Rodgers...(even though athletically Deon is alot better)

Good comparison.

 

[Bigtip]

he doesn't look like the head hunter that you'd want at S but neither is VT for that matter. unfortunately we don't have a lot of options at S and he may have to go there by default. he is probably better suited at CB right now though

 

[UMFarArcher]

Bush is on mama-jammin', physical, in-ur-face corner.

But hey! Try him at safety!

He can do it or he can't, and if he can't, maybe he can learn. Some are naturally good at safety, others just aren't.

I think he would make a better linebacker. If you don't agree, give me $500 and I'll leave.
