Bush, of course, is the Packers’ star coverage guy.

Just thought this was funny. Because Bush belongs on the same field as Hester, right? lol

Bush was never a great DB, but he has always been one of the best ST players. To year after year continue to make this team because of his coverage skills is pretty impressive. And when push comes to shove, he does have some ability when called to play defense in the time of need.

If Masthay doesn't have to punt more than once again, may not matter.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Again, not even on the same level. Hester could be the best all time at the most difficult ST position.

Bush is ok, but he's nothing close to great. Yeah, he's a gunner. He can run down the field and tackle a guy, or TRY to tackle a guy. About 1/4 he has an opportunity he can also down the ball inside the 5, without stepping into the end zone first.

Might want to check The Pro Bowl voting, last I saw, Jarret Bush was leading the voting for Special teams player in The NFC.

Nobody cares about The gunner on the ST's until the opponent returns a punt or kick off for a TD.

Then all hell breaks out!!!!!

Equivelant to your typical Offensive lineman, only time they get attention is when they are called for a penalty.

Gunner on St's is just as important a PR.

Surely if ANYONE could be the BEST gunner in the league, then wouldn't it be smart to get a guy who was better at playing DB?

Anybody can be a punt returner, but only one is the best punt returner.

Don't underestimate the importance of what Jarret Bush does.

Hopefully he and his teammates win the Special Teams battle tonight.

For Atlanta to pull the upset they will need to create turnovers and win The Special teams battle.

I'd rather have a great cover guy than a great return guy.

Hester has 19 return TDs (14 on punts) in 9 years. Say its 3 in a typical year. That's 21 points.

A great cover guy can probably mean 8-10 extra yards per series the opposing offense has to go. That's almost an extra first down per drive. I'd rather have someone who could do that even once a game, than someone who can guarantee 3 TDs per year.

And my guess is Bush is good enough that it's more like 2-3 times a game that opponents have to get an extra first down per drive. -- doesn't he cover kickoffs, too?

I'd take Bush over Hester.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

beast (8h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (8h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (18h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (18h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (20h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (21h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you

wpr (22h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (23h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (23h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?
