The Facts:
All the things that Bush can do with a football fit perfectly into the West Coast offense being installed by new HC Joe Philbin. You can scratch, however, Bush's stated off-season goal of leading the NFL in rushing. Sophistication has come to the Dolphins offense, yanking Bush back out of the helmet-cracking time warp where Tony Sparano had taken him.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
What happened in Miami last season was yet another permutation of Bush's headliner potential, and perhaps the most satisfying. The flashy third-down specialist showed himself fit for hard duty as a between-the-tackles running back, starting 15 games and for the first time cracking the 1,000-yard rushing barrier. This season, however, Bush will likely toggle back to his hybrid days now, catching more passes and taking less punishment. He's proven his toughness, once, and most likely, for all. "This offense is perfect for guys like me," said Bush, who averaged 14.4 carries last season but fewer than three receptions per game. "It gives us a chance to use our speed and kind of wear down the defense and have them chase us around all day. ..." Sounds intriguing -- especially from a PPR perspective. We'll be watching for more when camp opens.
