“Every time I rush the ball I want four yards,” said Bush, who averaged 5.0 yards per carry in 2011. ”I’m keeping my focus simple and small, but at same time helping my team progress. ..." According to Sun-Sentinel staffer Omar Kelly, Bush’s goal isn’t out of the realm of possibility considering two tailbacks with comparable size – Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones Drew (1,606 rushing yards) and Baltimore’s Ray Rice (1,364) – were the NFL’s leading rushers last season. And the fourth leading rusher, Philadelphia’s LeSean McCoy, plays in a west coast offense. There’s a possibility Bush can contribute even more for the Dolphins this upcoming season because this west coast offense fits his skill set. HC Joe Philbin is excited about the tools in Bush’s tool belt, and has a vision of how to better utilize his skill set, hinting that Bush might line up as a receiver more. All of which means Bush's Fantasy value heading into this summer is at an all-time high.
