Question

Why did the raiders move Mike Bush to fullback.?

Answer 1

He is a big running back, around 6' 250 if i recall correctly, and they already have Fargas and the newly drafted Darren McFadden.  This is probably the only way he would get any real playing time.

Answer 2

Because The coaches think there's enough talent to run a tandem Offensive 3 back set and try to improve the speed of the wide outs over time. Odds are 5 wins 11 losses this year in Vegas and fantasy sports for the Raiders.

Answer 3

Flyboy is right.

McFadden/Fargas will be fulltime RBs.  

Bush will be FB and goal line RB.

Answer 4

its because the second string fullback (OREN ONEAL)got injured on saturday against the cardinals and is out of the season.......so lane kiffin decided to move up BUSH for his SIZE and some more playing time

Answer 5

Those guy, except for the raider, fan are wrong.

The 2nd string FB got injured in the last game and they need 2 healthy RB to start the season, so instead of picking one up and wasting more money than what they already have, they moved Bush to FB. Besides he has the size and he will get more playing time this way. Maybe by next season he'll be back at HB with McFAdden and Fargas.

Answer 6

Because their starting fullback got injured for the season in a preseason game

Answer 7

There Starting Fullback was not playing well and got hurt. McFadden and Fargas will get the carries at Halfback. Bush was already getting the goalline carries I guess it was just a matter of time before he became the next fullback. The next Zack Crockett great at goalline carries.

Answer 8

They have too many players at the running back position

Answer 9

no idea
