Bush blasts Tomlin and the Steelers

[whisper]

According to the headline any way.

I - like usual - am gonna call it like I see it.

1.) I don't see any major "blasts" from Bush towards Tomlin/Steelers. He said the culture was 180 degrees different. Didn't say how it was different, how it was better. He may have "implied" things were better but never said specifically how. Hardly a major "blast."

2.) Bush has no room for criticism after the poor showing he put up last year. OK, 1st year after an ACL, I'll give him a pass. But by the 2nd year, two years after the tear, still played passive and unaggressive at ILB? You got no room to say anything.

I will not add this to the legit list of past players who rip on Cool Shades. I don't find it legit.

[LPMAN]

Bush was one of the softest inside linebackers in Steelers history. Got pushed all over the place like he was Letang in the crease. GOOD RIDDENCE!

[Oviedo]

Another pathetic attempt to start a negative narrative

says in the article “NO SPECIFIS OFFERED”

Bush not accepting responsibility for he failed

this is actually a breath of fresh air...

Bush has an epiphany. ....My coach puts in 100% so I guess I should too.

Should be fun watching him trying to tackle Deebo and McCaffrey.

[steeler_george]

Not to point fingures, but your titile is just as misleading as the article.

[Ghost]

To me, there is no way to view some of his comments as not slamming the head coach and the organization.

“It’s way beyond the X’s and O’s, He obviously cares a lot about his team”. “180 completely”

“I just got the feel that he is dedicated. He’s all in and doesn’t think about nothing else but Seattle Seahawks and winning.”


This is coming from a guy that was an absolute liability when he got on the field. Lost his starting role to a guy who should have been a backup. Acted like a little b!tch when he didn't get playing time. This is a great example of addition by subtraction. The team and the locker room is better off having this waste playing for another team.

He was given more opportunities than he deserved. If he showed any semblance of improvement after his injury the org could have picked up his option. They knew better.

Dude hasn’t played 1 snap yet or had one practice in pads.

That's why I commented as I did. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

["BuzzNuter"]

Bush looked good his first year then came the ACL injury. He never recovered. He always let blockers get to his body. He was not a starter after that first season.

I believe the only reason he stayed on was we moved up to 10 to get him. That's the highest we've moved up in the SB era. Halfway through his recovery season it was obvious that he was done. He's not going to do anything in Seattle.

so why are you reacting like an ass if I'm agreeing with you?

[Chadman]

Bush is taking early lessons from the "AB Guide To Saying Dumb Stuff" manual.

[Starlifter]

one of the larger busts in steelers draft history. There really is no good explanation as to why he became so passive and soft - especially years removed from the ACL. zero impact, few tackles, horrible in pass protection. having him on the field should have made 3rd down for the defense ridiculously easy - because the offense would target Bush 90% of the time in a must have down.

Too bad. But he's gone, already forgotten and unless he decides he wants to play pro caliber football - I expect this is his last year in the NFL.

I would suggest 4/3 outside backer might be a better fit. It would not shock me if he works out in Seattle at all.

I don't know: It would take a 100% transformation of attitude. He played like a total p-ssy in Pgh. No LB can be successful playing the way he did.

Bush was a monster before the injury but most of his issues seemed to be mental.

Unless he sees a psychologist and admits he sucked and needs to put in the work he isn't going to be any better.

[Northern_Blitz]

Bush: "It's super-duper double extra different here than it was in Pittsburgh."

Reporter: "How?"

Bush: "How am I supposed to know. I just got here and haven't really done anything with the team yet."

[WindyCitySteel]

Absolutely agree.

So you yourself are doing a 180 on your initial comments?

No, how so?

[whatever]

I’m having a hard time with this one.
Bush was an incredible draft pick. The trade up to get him was a steal. Instant starter, pro bowler etc. high character guy too. Obviously a steeler type that will keep us from having to address that position fir a decade.
Anyone who disagrees with any of this is a hater that doesn’t trust the organization .

[WindyCitySteel]

No, how so?

You said in the OP that you didn't see any major slams of Tomlin, then seemed to be agreeing with this:

"To me, there is no way to view some of his comments as not slamming the head coach and the organization."

Somebody on SN used that phrase on Dupree during his 2nd year & it was spot on at that time. I laughed so hard. I thought it was you if my memory serves me.

Read where Bush shined in his latest outing with the Seahawks, 6 tackles, one TFL... and.. a special teams tackle!

He looked like a midget and was far from a muscled and strong Tazan, but he played like Jane!

I've never seen an inside linebacker so weak against the run like Bush was in the last 2 seasons with us.

Not really sounding like a world beater in Seattle either. Who is gonna trade for THAT? So much for Bush arrogantly stating that he would be hired and playing for someone if not the Steelers.

[Blitzer]

I am glad he is someone elses problem. who knows what would have happened without the knee injury. But we know how he play after the injury

[Buzz]

Bush was a big swing & miss by Colbert/Tomlin

thankfully, he's gone -- and thankfully, Khan/Wiedel/Tomlin look to be getting our ILB situation back on track

[feltdizz]

I almost feel bad for Bush because he was a beast that first year before his injury.

However, dude also had zero accountability and seems like a guy who couldn’t admit he needed to improve after the injury.

No, he really wasn't a "beast", he was just a little better than Jon Bostic. This was a disastrous draft pick from the jump.

[feltdizz]

pretty sure he led all Steelers with tackles his rookie year.

109 tackles
2 sacks
1 FF
4 fumble recoveries
1 TD
9 Tackles for loss


That is a pretty impressive outing for a rookie Steeler ILB.

Being called a beast doesn?t mean he was the best to ever do it.

Jon Bostic had 58 tackles his rookie year.

No one talked about Bush being a disaster after his rookie year. It was after his injury and that was my point. After his injury he was a shell but if he kept that production from his rookie year and built on it no one would call it a disaster.

This article sure sounded like he was off to a good start.

yep.

surrounded by loads of talent on that side of the ball, he's the guy the offenses didn't care to block and reaped the rewards.

No, not your favorite LB....:D

no need to fear that
Bush will find a way to stay far enough away from him so as to make contact nearly impossible
