You don’t go cheap on Special Teams. Tracy White taught me (and Ted) that.

For the record, it’s not ‘crying’. It’s man-weep.

Bush has been magnificent the past few weeks on special teams, and I’m pleased for his success, both as a fan of the Packers and for him as a person.

I do think Bush is a bit overpaid, to be a special teams gunner for $1.1 million. I don’t believe he’ll ever be a serviceable DB for the Packers.

If the Packers had unlimited resources and there was no salary cap, then sure, why not? But the Packers have a nucleus of young talent who are less easily replaced than Bush. My guess is that they’ll not keep him beyond the end of his contract in 2011-2012.

The Packers are going to need $$ to pay CM3, Raji, etc. etc.

Yet another great move by Ted….He kept him around and people wondered what the heck was he thinking…it took a little while to finally pay off….but it has.

Bush’s story is kind of like a microcosm of Aaron Rodgers‘ in the sense that most of us recoiled with “wtf?!” when the Pack matched the Titan’s generous RFA offer to Bush a couple of years ago much in the same way many of us reacted negatively to Thompson and McCarthy committing to Rodgers and showing Favre the door.

We just didn’t understand what the management knew about the heart and talent of these two players. Thank god they’re the guys in charge and not us.

Thanks for sharing that link.

Seems like a solid dude, seems like he gets it. He also has an awesome beard.

Remember last year when Tramon Williams was looking helpless with tons of interference penalties? Players work and study hard to become better. Bush has worked his tail off and has played great. he certainly still has some deficiencies in coverage but markedly improved since last year.

“Gratified but not yet satisfied.”

That’s good to hear from him. It’s good when you can take criticism and use it to fuel you rather than beat you down. I’m glad that he realizes that there is still much more for him to achieve yet though.

I like Jarrett. As a gunner. As long as he’s not fucking up assignments in the D-backfield it’s all good. Just re-watched the Pitt game from last season, 2 players really stood out as being the main culprits for Ben’s 500+ yards, Bigby and Bush (Martin gets an HM). He’s proven time and again that he’s not a DB in this league, the tape doesn’t lie. With that said, he can stay around and continue to be a key contributor for years to come on ST’s, but if I never see Jarret take another defensive snap it will be too soon.

Three things to learn from this:
1) the shit that gets said on blogs can actually make a team better!
2) the shit that gets said on blogs can actually make a player feel like shit!
3) We should strive, as fans, to also be “Packer people” – accomplishing 1) without resorting to 2).

Jarret Bush – I’ve called you out your name so many damn times. You showed us, big time. Congrats on your remarkable hard work and improvement. Best of luck in the Super Bowl.
