Reggie Bush didn’t have to wait long to be selected as he can now call New Orleans home now. This pick is interesting to me considering that Duece McAllister is still in his prime. Injury concerns have hampered McAllister and its always good to have an insurance policy on the backburner, but the Saints were quick on this pick.
The Titans are on the clock and we all get to see if the Vince Young talk was a smoke screen to select Leinart.
Well, Mario Williams goes to Houston and NY fans, always classy shout: “Overrated!” The greatest day in this kid’s life and he gets covered in overrated chants, nice.
Now the action can start with New Orleans on the clock. Do they trade out? Do you take Bush?
The USC Trojans are continuing to be in the news for controversy not successes. The police were called to campus to arrest a young man accused of sexual assault. The young man was Mark Sanchez, the next starting quarterback for the Trojans.
This comes less than one week after Reggie Bush’s family is under investigation for their living arrangements during the 2005 season. The Trojan community seems to be falling apart as the bad news continues to follow them. Pete Carroll, who has avoided the “bad rap”, is learning quickly that things can fall apart fast and it will take some quick action to repair the damage. At this point, Carroll hasn’t commented on the situation.
Len Pasquarelli has just become the official voice of many Houston Texan fans. The ESPN.com columnist voiced his opinion over the Texans decision to go with Mario Williams over Reggie Bush. And he didn’t hold much back.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Houston Texans, an outfit that might do better were Mr. Magoo executing its lottery selections. Hand out the darts, folks, and take cover. Even quarterback David Carr, throwing from his back, which is where he has been for most of his four seasons in Houston, has better aim than his bosses.
In other words, Pasquarelli’s not a fan of the move.
Some teams try to exercise foresight with such threshold football decisions. Houston, on the other hand, apparently makes them blindfolded.
It appears that neither money nor his recent off the field headlines are the prime reason Bush isn’t on his way to the Lone Star State. Apparently, this was a football only decision.
According to Pasquarelli, the Texans just plain stopped negotiating with Bush after 2:00pm Thursday, which is interesting considering that several media outlets were reporting that the talks were still going on today.
ESPN is reporting that the Houston Texans will pass on Reggie Bush and that they have agreed to a contract with Mario Williams. Naturally, this will shake things up for everyone’s draft board in the top 5.
I never thought Bush deserved to be the top pick in the draft. It will be interesting to see why Houston passed on him. Was it an issue of money, or did they finally determine that Bush isn’t an every down player?
