Sign and move Devin Bush to SS

[toffee]

Pete and Hurtt didn't play Bush much, when he played, he didn't overwhelm. With that, his market value ought to be quite low. If we can sign him on the cheap, what's your opinion to move Bush to SS? Before his injuries, his was very athletic, he had ET3 kind of speed. If he could cut 10-15lbs, he might regain some speed? According to PFF, he tackled well.

At 5'11" and 234 lbs, Bush is undersized (too short) as a LB, but has a SS, he got the 'right' height if somewhat beefy.

	height	weight	40 yards	10 yards split	vertical	broad	3 cones	20 yards	Bench
Jamal	6'	214 lbs	4.56	1.57	31.5	10'	6.96	4.13	18
Bush	5'11"	234 lbs	4.43	1.5	40.5	10'4"	6.93	4.23	21
Digg	5'9"	196 lbs	4.56	1.65	35.5	9'5"	7.22	4.15	17
ET3	5'10"	202 lbs	4.43	1.56	32	9'5"			21
Kam	6'3"	231 lbs	4.62	1.6	32	9'8"	7.36	4.41	22

Meh better options out there imo. Bush just isn't that good.

It’s hard to play safety if you haven’t played it at the college/pro level before.

Not sure how many snaps Bush had at the third level patrolling the deep ball.

Reaction and anticipating also reading offensive schemes can be very difficult to do for new safeties.

Bush has the measurements and athleticism so maybe he can get by with just that for now but it’s so hard to know some guys are just built to play some positions more than others.

Put him in practice and see how he does at safety….

Plus he’s a Jamal’s Adams wannabe personality

Great points! My thoughts were Bush could be signed for cheap, he clearly hasn't excel at playing LB, his father was a safety, and his size fit safety more so than LB.

In some ways, Jamal 'earned' his diva acts, all-pro and all. Bush hasn't done a thing in the league.

Bush might have been fast but after the knee injury he's not the same player.

 

[Jville]

He's not a safety.

Bush has played at linebacker since his collage freshman year.

I am pretty sure that Bryant will be our project safety for 2024

 

[Seattle Person]

Bush can barely cover as a LB. What makes you think he can be a safety?

 

[Jville]

I am pretty sure that Bryant will be our project safety for 2024

I think that the versatile Coby Bryant is a likely possibility. The coaching staff yet to be named will also have Julian Love, Ty Okada, Jonathan Sutherland, and a rehabbing Jerrick Reed II.

 

[Fresno Hawk]

We have plenty of DB's that can give us better results.

Hence the wannabe

How about we let him walk and pretend he was never here
