The
Detriot Lions were determined not to let Reggie Bush get out of
town, in fear of losing their man to the Arizona Cardinal or
Cincinnati Bengals.
Dangling
the opportunity to be the full-time player, starting over holdovers
Mikel Leshoure and Joique Bell, the Lions landed another weapon for
Matthew Stafford on Wednesday. Bush signed a four-year contact, the
team announces Wednesday and ProfootballTalk.com reported the deal is
worth $16 Million.
Jim
Schwartz the coach of Lions who was in Tennessee during the ChrisJohnson-LenDale White “ Smash and Dash” days with the Titans, has
long envisioned a similar backfield in Detroit.
He
will fill the role originally slated for Jahvid Best before multiple
concussions left the latter running back's NFL future in doubt. Lions
coaches will devise ways to get the ball to Bush in space, while
Leshoure handles short-yardage duties and the four-minute drill.
With
the increased role of Miami, Bush posted more that 950 rushing yards
and more than 30 receptions in each of his past two seasons. The last
Lions player to accomplish that feat was Hall of Farmer Barry Sanders
from 1997 to 1998.
