Raiders' Bush ready to audition for starting RB job

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:00:00 -0500

Michael Bush smiled. The "Smash" part of the Raiders' three-headed Smash, Dash (Justin Fargas) and Flash (Darren McFadden) running attack had been reminded by reporters that it was his week to start in the backfield. Against the New Orleans Saints at home. In that all-important third exhibition game today. To show he deserves the bulk of the workload. "Yeah, it's nice to get out there and get to work for something," Bush said. "Like I say, it's preseaso...

Three Ways to Pay Dirt: Fargas, Bush and McFadden

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:28:30 -0500

Tom Cable has a problem on his hands. He’s got three very talented running backs with three very different skill sets and just one pigskin to go around. On paper, the Oakland Raiders have weapons on offense that might have caused former president George W. Bush to declare anyone wearing silver and black as a domestic terrorist. From the WMD attached to JaMarcus Russell’s right arm to the Lester Hayes stickum hands of Zach Miller, the 2009 Raiders could be an offensive juggernaut....

Would the Eagles Trade for Michael Bush?

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:55:42 -0500

For the third straight week the Eagles struggled in short yardage running situations. And since a QB sneak appears not to be in the playbook and there is no one else left to experiment with as a FB, how about trading for a big back? Westbrook and Buckhalter are a great 1-2 punch, but they seem to lack the extra punch on the short yardage plays. Maybe the reason is solely the absence of Andrews on the line, but I doubt it. In you read the latest rumors, it appears that Michael Bush of th...

Justin Fargas key to Oakland Raiders offensive success

Mon, 19 May 2008 04:15:49 -0500

Its easy to ride the wave of hype surrounding fourth overall pick Darren McFadden. Add to that the promise of second year player Michael Bush who is considered likely to be the steal of the 2007 draft. There is a lot of talk of a McFadden/Bush tandem tearing up the league. However, Justin Fargas emerged last season as a top tier running back. He was all but written off after having several injury plagued years following his selection in the third round of the 2003 draft. He toiled in obscurity behind a rogues gallery of backs, before finally breaking out in 2007. He did it the hard way.
