Reggie Bush to be used more in passing game
Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 2:18pm

Dolphins HC Joe Philbin didn't offer too many specifics about, well, anything because he probably cannot and probably doesn't want to with what he can. But he was clear on his intended use of Reggie Bush.

Unlike last year when Miami mostly used Bush as a traditional running back until very late in the season, Philbin said his staff will try to maximize Bush. He mentioned using him at wide receiver. He mentioned using him in different formations. He mentioned doing things to create mismatches, which is what I thought Miami would do last year.

"We're not just going to hand the ball to him," Philbin said.

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland says he’s happy with the situation at running back, though he’s looking for more depth (UF’s Chris Rainey was among the players Miami has interviewed this week): “I’m very proud of Reggie Bush. We had a vision to utilize his skill set. He did a nice job of establishing himself as a runner more than he did in New Orleans. He’s a lot tougher than what maybe people thought of him.

“Daniel Thomas is going to be a fine player, a pretty good player,” Ireland said. “I believe in him. He’s tough, strong, really learned to pass protect, really quick. He’s got to stay healthy and keep his feet in the ground when he’s making contact.”

After a shaky start, Reggie Bush and the Dolphins are feeling very good about their partnership. The team is playing better, Bush has notched two of the best back-to-back rushing performances of his career, and offensive coordinator BSeveral factors have contributed. Daboll has used Bush on more sweeps and tosses and misdirection plays.

“Daboll’s play-calling has been a little better,” Bush said. “He’s improving in that area. And we’re improving executing the play he’s calling.”

Also, “the offensive line is doing a great job,” Bush said. In particular, they have started to create more holes on his runs between the tackles. “They’ve done a good job of getting me one-on-one with safeties.”
