Deon Bush

[Bicho]

He is faaaaarrrrrrr from 100% out there. Dude is running like a 4.9 forty at this point. He is probably our most athletic DB when healthy.

 

[Morey161]

Still has two more weeks to get ready for GT.

 

[wooshdogg]

Yea he needs to sit.... I hope they run the clock this is becoming depressing

 

[nadiamufdi]

Looks really rusty. Def needs a lot more time

 

[Canes4348]

Sad to see how he played... Really hoping he can recover quickly.

 

[Kevin]

You have to throw him out there. Even if he struggles

 

[jnw4563]

If he doesn't improve next week they might need to start thinking about giving him a redshirt due to injury and if they do need him, they can just pull the redshirt.. I think he could get the medical redshirt if he doesn't play in more tan 4 games.

 

[The Franchise]

He's not injured any longer, or he wouldn't be out there. It's all mental and football conditioning at this point. He looked stiff and a little scared to move out there to me. Looked like an 80 year old man.

 

[TheSwagger1]

Had some "wow" moments in the not-so-good tone of "wow".

Deon is the freaking man, though. Heart and soul warrior. Guy was sacrificing life & limb last year to bust fools. Just a matter of time til he gets back up to speed.

 

[Hstokes1447]

As bad as he looked, this is exactly what he needed. He needed to get his feet wet and get some live action on tape. We have to remember that not only has he missed 2 games he also missed 2 scrimmages. He will get more reps next week, against another weak team, and he should be good to go by the Georgia Tech game.

 

[kendallcanes]

Give it time. Thank God Rodgers has taken it to the next level.

 

[CanesAreAble]

Obviously rusty. He looked stiff and tentative. Just wasn't dialed in like usual.

He'll be better next week.

 

[mianjomar]

If he doesn't show a lot of progress this week they should consider a shirt if that what it takes.

 

[wooshdogg]

Doubt he'll shirt just needs weight room and confidence....i just hate seeing him run without the fierce pursuit to bring hurt to whoever he hits.... He ll be alright i just wanted him to sit before he re injured himself ...

 

[The Franchise]

No one loves suggesting redshirts more than message board posters. Bush is one of our best players. He's healthy. He just needs to get in football shape and trust that he's healthy.

 

[k9cane]

Bush looked like a guy just getting back to playing football. If there was any thought of him redshirting, he wouldn't have played so much tonight. It's that simple

The hope is he continues to get better physically heading into league play

 

[AllbouttheU]

Just gotta keep putting him out there. Not starter quality right now though.

 

[bathtubgin]

He played in a game so he can't shirt. Can we just drop that idea now?

 

[bathtubgin]

Just gotta keep putting him out there. Not starter quality right now.

Yep. Only way he'll get back to game form is to play. Tonight was a good opportunity to knock off some rust.

 

[Problem2]

This is why you play him in a meaningless game and not against the Gators where it costs you.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't turn the corner by the GT game.
