Looks like the Dolphins gave up Jonathan Amaya and swapped sixth round picks for Reggie Bush.

Benjamin Volin So #Dolphins got a 1,000-yard rusher, and only had to give up a special teamer and swap 6th round picks. Nice trade

Yup, Jeff Ireland is an idiotAgent J 78 - January 24, 2012
very great trade
Kdog92 - January 24, 2012
I can't believe people were giving the Fins shit about this trade
I was pumped and now im even more exited. Reggie is already one of our most positive attitudes in the locker room
BSerious72 - January 24, 2012
Well, to be honest, we knew it was going to be a shitty trade if they didn't use him properly.
And they didn’t, for half a season.
PNSter - January 24, 2012
Any one that thought Reggie was going to run it between the tackles often and successfuly is an idiot....Oh yeah we fired that idiot.
Hollywood Dolfan - January 24, 2012
To be accurate most of Reggies yards came between the tackles
NawlinsPhinFan - January 24, 2012
They sure did...
It’s just that they implemented a lot more counters and misdirections instead of the straight up the gut plays.
TAYDIGGA - January 24, 2012
You're right and I should have phrased my statement was anyone that thought Reggie was going to be able type of plays as Brown and Williams did was an idiot. Completely different types of players and again with the Sporano square peg in a round whole.
I think it was Daball who finally figured it out for the play calling for Bush
Hollywood Dolfan - January 24, 2012
Well lets see what happens next. He hopefully the new coaches don’t try to do the same thing. You have to be deceptive about where he’s gonna go with the ball. I’ve been looking at his highlights on Youtube and that’s how he had so much success. I’m excited for yall. I’ve been watching yall due to Reggie coming here and outside of my Niners I’m hoping yall get a lot of success next season.
TAYDIGGA - January 24, 2012
After Reggie declared we stink
The team seam to respond. Bush had his 1st 100 yard game as a Phin the next game and the defense started to play better. We would win our 1st game ot the season the following week.
NawlinsPhinFan - January 24, 2012
Reggie was a great catch for Miami...
And I guess it didn’t work out too badly for New Orleans as well (i.e. Sproles).
Bill Moody - January 24, 2012
title scared me
I thought they traded him AWAY. That would have been horrible.
Fuhbawl - January 24, 2012 via mobile
I had the same wtf??!! moment
CanT0o - January 24, 2012
Yeah, I think someone should change that.
Mr. Imperial - January 24, 2012
Yes my heart dropped, title has to be changed
Goon305Boy10 - January 24, 2012 via mobile
Nah, it's fine...
The fact that it scared me made me read it.
TAYDIGGA - January 24, 2012

TAYDIGGA - January 24, 2012
I did too at first!
TAYDIGGA - January 24, 2012
Boy did we make out like a bandit in this trade.
and thats just after one season. Hes talking about going even bigger next year.
AcolyteofRa - January 24, 2012
That silence you hear is the Ireland haters thinking of a way to spin this trade as a negative... and failing
Saxonthebeach - January 24, 2012
IMO Ireland's stock is rising more and more.
And I didn’t hate him to begin with. If he can keep delivering “groceries” like this and Philbin can put the staff together that he wants I am going to be very happy this offseason.
Hollywood Dolfan - January 24, 2012
He had a great offseason last year, minus the quarterback.
However, it can be argued that this was Henne’s “last chance” as a starter. So what Ireland did was provide the Fins with a capable backup (Matt Moore) who rallied the team after an awful start (possibly due to a new offensive system and the injury of the starting quarterback).
My dad and I were talking about this earlier: whoever comes to the Dolphins as the new quarterback will line up under this line:
Long—Incognito—Pouncey—Carey—New RT
That’s not a bad set up….
DolfanVince86 - January 24, 2012
Jerry could fill the RT spot..........
He finally started to come on at the end of the year.
keyzkidd - January 24, 2012
could be John Jerry
could also be Nate Garner
DolfanVince86 - January 24, 2012
Ireland needs more good trades to
get the banner flyers to stop throwing their beer money away hiring pilots to fly over the stadium.
broxtone - January 24, 2012
Was Ireland holding a gun to their head when he made that deal??
Jason Scott_90 - January 25, 2012
probably
