Why cant Reggie Bush get number 5?

Every football player's uniform has a number on it that is unique for that particular team, making it simpler for fans, coaches, announcers, and officials to differentiate between players. On April 5, 1973, a jersey-numbering system was adopted by the NFL where each position on the football field is given a range of numbers for each player at that position to choose from, however, there are a few players around the league that are exceptions to the rule. This chart explains which number ranges are assigned to each position. \n1-9 Quarterbacks and Kickers\n10-19 Quarterbacks, Receivers, and Kickers\n20-49 Running Backs and Defensive Backs\n50-59 Centers and Linebackers\n60-79 Defensive Linemen and Offensive Linemen\n80-89 Receivers and Tight Ends\n90-99 Defensive Linemen and Linebackers

I agree, but even though Houston has no OL Reggie Bush would still put together a 1000 rushing yard and 500 recieving yard season. The Texans are using the excuse that because their in a divison with the Colts they need to stop the Colts, not out score them. One player, exspecially, Mario Williams, can't stop a whole team.

My gut (and hopes) tell me the 49ers will get Reggie. Why? It would take too many factors for the Texans to get him:  \n- Houston already has one win and have a chance of getting another vs the Jags who looked terrible against the 49ers on Sunday. \n- Although the 49ers got one of their two wins vs St Louis, the chances of them doing it twice in one season are minimal. \n- Let's say both the Texans and 49ers lose this week. Fast forward to the Bush bowl - the Texans will probably win. They're a better team. The only way the 49ers could lose getting Bush is if they miraculously beat Houston, then it gets handed to the league to determine difficulty of both team's matchups.\n\nShort answer: 49ers have about a 75% chance of getting Bush.

Well, it should be interesting, to say the least, when the Texans take (presumably) Reggie Bush with the #1 pick, passing on Young. Because, by taking Bush, they imply "we have the utmost confidence in David Carr to lead us" and I wonder how. When has Carr shown he can effectively lead that offense and how will the addition of one star (Bush) change it?

1. Mario Williams, DE \n2. Reggie Bush, RB\n3. Matt Leinart, QB\n4. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT\n5. Vernon Davis, TE\n6. AJ Hawk, OLB\n7. Vince Young, QB\n8. Winston Justice, OT\n9. Michael Huff, CB/S\n10. Jay Cutler, QB\n\nLet me defend myself, "for the first time, there is legitimate reason to think that Reggie Bush is not going to be wind up in Houston. As of Monday, the Texans had not had any contract discussions with Bush and his representatives. Yet the Texans have approached defensive end Mario Williams, trying to see if he would be receptive to discussing a deal. But the evidence goes beyond contracts. When Bush was in Houston, a certain segment of the organization never introduced itself to the running back."

no....RCR still "owns" the number. and dont be a bit surprised to see jr in the #3 in about 2 yrs. when his contract with DEI runs out. childress wants to make it happen, and it will.

In football, a player in a position can choose from a set of numbers designated to their position.  \nAll sports: Rookies sometimes don't get the numbers they want because they are already taken by someone else on the team, and some teams retire the numbers of great players and nobody can ever wear the number on that team.

Presuming he enters the draft, I say the 49ers. The Texans may get the first pick, but they already have a decent RB in Domanick Davis. They'd probably trade down and draft Ferguson, the juggernaut offensive lineman. Houston needs protection up front. If that happens, the Niners have no reason not to pick Reggie Bush. I'm sure a lot of fans down there will go crazy if they land him.

Reggie Bush, there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be a better pro. Vince Young is all hype, and doesn't have the proper delivery for a pro QB...that will need to be corrected. Bush reminds me an awful lot of Marshall Faulk (Rams), and I think he'll have just as successful a career. If Houston passes on him with the first pick, they'll be making a terrible mistake.

I think that the acquisition of Reggie Bush helped them more than anything.  People know that he can be explosive and dangerous and have been marking him a lot of defense.  The Saints can use Reggie Bush as a decoy and then put the ball in the hands of their other players.  I think that Reggie Bush having bad numbers is a direct result of this also.\n\nGetting Drew Brees was a great move too.  Aaron Brooks was a crappy QB.

He wants to wear 5, as he did in HS and College.  In the NFL, RB's are only allowed numbers between 20 and 49.  New Orleans is trying to persuade the NFL to change the rules, relating his #5 to a Category 5 hurricane.  \n\nThat part is bogus, and the Saints are just trying to show that they are appeasing to their star.  He will end up wearing 25.

He's too slow to play any skill positions and his feet are horrible - he would never hold up on offensive or defensive line.  So unless he can kick or punt, no.

Reggie Bush is supposed to be the next Walter Payton. I guess his son is compared to him too.

They obviously went with a need pick. Their DL last year was pretty bad. Not picking Bush means that Domanick Davis IS healthy. It's a tough call, would you take Bruce Smith or Marshall Faulk in their prime? I'm just glad Houston didn't take Bush cuz I wanna see Reggie play for many, many years. Houston now has Kubiak which has installed Denver's offense. Denver's offense is harsh on RBs. RBs don't usually last there.
