Devin Bush appreciation thread
Three games into his true sophomore season Devin Bush has become my favorite Michigan player to watch at any position. He's tough as nails, has great ball instincts, and he brings it on every play. We could have a future first or second rounder on our hands here. Jake Ryan was a 4th round pick and I'd argue Bush is already better than Ryan was at this point in his career.
Edit: I embedded a sweet gif of Bush sacking Air Force's QB but its no longer in the OP and I'm unable to re-embed it for some reason.
Here's the link if anyone wants to see it:

We need another big game this Saturday!
The defense needs to pitch a shut out

Going to be totally honest here: I was not thrilled when UM placed all their eggs in the Devin Bush basket back when he was being recruited. I wasn't much more excited about Bush than I was about his teammates, Metellus and Gil.
Happy to be proven wrong on Bush and Metellus.

Maybe a cameron cheeseman appreciation thread ? He is undervalued for sure !

Seems like a strange place for an ob exam but these are strange times we're living in.

and then flies. He reacts as fast as he moves. I think he is going to be a joy to watch for some time. I also love seeing backs run away from Bush only to find they're running toward Gary, Hurst, or Winovich.

In terms of stats/records or impact/legend status/the things you cannot measure?

Let's pump the brakes a bit. I love Bush, but I'e seen people here say that he could be one of the "best linebackers ever to wear Maize and Blue".
Jabrill was the center of the nation's best defense, was a two time All-American, a first rounder, and became the first every athlete to win B1G awards on more than one side of the ball...and I don't think people see him as one of the best LB ever to play for Michigan. So for Bush to surpass both those marks would be hard.

Looks like he may be even better than Peppers when all is said and done.
He may not be as versatile as Peppers, but he appears to excel at his given position more than Peppers does. But we'll know more when we see the competition get better.

16 solo tackles, plus 9 assists so far. 4.5 tackles for loss. 3.5 sacks. The young man leads in all those categories.
September 17th, 2017 at 8:50 PM ^
Also leading the conference in sacks. Hudson is number two.

Just got to hope he stays on the field and doesn't either get injured or ejected for targeting.
But assuming he can avoid those things, he's heading for an All-Conference type of year and possibly more.

Why can't some of you appreciate Bush without knocking Peppers because you're hurt he left without playing in a bowl game or meeting your lofty expectations?
September 17th, 2017 at 5:14 PM ^
Not a single person in this thread knocked Peppers.
September 17th, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
Okay...comparing him.
They don't play the same position, they aren't being asked to do the same things, etc.
How do we skip over all ILBs and go to Peppers?

Devin Bush Jr. is the fastest backer we've had since Ian Gold.
He is better than Gold. Smarter.

Well, two decades. We had a lot of good LBs in the early 90s.
