Bush will prove to be what he was at U Of M . a good player not great who is poor in man coverage. is not a tackle machine and gets swept up in the wash. in his 3 years he only had double digit tackles in 3 games in his career with only one coming in the Big 10.he was exposed in the 1st game and 3rd game this preseason ad teams gouged him in the run game running straight at him and he was abused in passing game by slower RBs

Uh, didn't he have 10 total tackles in his first showing in the NFL? And he was exposed in the running game and abused by slower RBs in the passing game? Which games? Cite the specific plays.

This dude sounds like a similar poster. Could it be........nahhh. Anyways, funny to see this dolt’s analysis especially when most have been raving about his preseason, particularly the first and third games.

In the 1st game we got destroyed defensively in the first half and they gouged us by running directly at Bush. Against the Panthers Bush was destroyed by a lumbering RB, #39, who beat him badly in man to man coverage and then Bush could not catch u to him on a 40 yard plus gain. Bush is a very poor man's Shazier and will not prove to be a great pickup and certainly not worth trading up for when Gilbert is more athletic and more instinctive. As a U of M graduate and lifelong fan I have seen up close what Bush is and he is not a game changing player, you will see this shortly.
 
13-3, if they can stay reasonably healthy.

After all the bs in the off season, I think these guys are going to play with a big chip on their shoulders. Especially Ben.

I broke down Bush before the draft. I thought he was a good player but he got manhandled by college OL. If the Steelers can keep him clean he'll be fine. If not real NFL OL will bulldoze him. He also struggles against mis-direction plays.

If Tomlin goes with his 2 DL look it will hurt Bush most of all. He needs to be protected so he can shot gaps and make tackles. You're not getting that with 2 DL. I wouldn't be surprised if the pats*** don't try to run right at him.

Yup, he had 10 tackles....in the first half!
 
13-3 nobody really scares me this year. I usually have I hope but low expectations, this year I honestly expect to win the SB.
 
I'd like to change mine to 18-1
 
Revised to 10-6 after seeing last night
