Bush/Bell

[Microwahevo]

Both had very good days yeaterday. Bush averaged 7.7 a carry, had a nice TD run around the edge, as well as a great 4th down catch and run. It's obvious his ankle looks nice and healthy as many of his runs involved stops and cuts. Part of me wishes he'd pick a hole(when given one) and stick to it, but ill take the results from Sunday.

Bell, well he was simply Bell. We didn't see much from him in the first quarter, but he sure turned it on later. 74yds and 5.7 a carry ain't too shabby. His TD run was ALL him as he made several Bears defenders look foolish. And he helped run out the clock at the end of the game. Big day, again, for him.

The O-line actually didn't look too horrible in run blocking today. We passed a little too much for my liking when we were obviously having success on the ground, but they did their jobs, for the most part, when called upon.

I like that they both look healthy and primed for a playoff run, pardon the pun.

Nice to see the rushing attack starting to show some life these last few weeks. Bell has been drastically better over the 2nd half of the season, and Bush looked healthy finally yesterday.

GB's run defense is pretty awful, so hopefully Bush and Bell can have the same type of success last week as they did yesterday.

Yes, the Lions will need a run game if they're going to win in Green Bay this weekend. Starting to come together, Pepper.

We passed to set up the run this week. It was like 2011 lions with both opposing safeties not even in the screen to start the play.

Using the FB helps a lot. Granted it was the Bears.

A healthy bush is huge for the lions the next two weeks. If they play like hey played against the bears they will lose by 20 sunday. Cant have that amount of mistakes against good teams.
