bush decided deserving finally finished hours last media met shift talked
There never was any shift because we never made a decision. It was the media that said we made a decision. We never made a decision. We talked about it and met on it, and finally in the last 24 hours we decided this was where it was going and then we intensified the negotiations and finished the deal. We like Bush and he's deserving of the first pick, but we just wanted to go defense. That's all it was. We just wanted to go defense.
best both bush decision felt football great mario player time took

almost bush exactly head jump mario pass pick pounds runs shoulders size speed unique vertical williams
I think that if Reggie Bush wasn't in this draft, Mario Williams would be head and shoulders the first pick in this draft. What you have ... is a pass rusher who has unique size and speed for the position. He's almost 6-foot-7 and runs a 4.7 (40-yard dash). Vertical jump is exactly the same as Reggie Bush and he's 90 pounds heavier.

He's coming off a knee injury, but the bottom line is he's going to be here and he's going to play, so you've got a player already there that's proven.
