They already have a good running back, but it doesn't matter how good the back is if he can't take two steps with the ball without getting smothered by defenders. Bush probably would have put up pretty mediocre stats behind that line. Even if he did put up good stats, does anyone remember Tomlinson in 2002-2003? He was one of the top three backs both those seasons, but the team was still horrible.
Houston is already pretty decent at the offensive skill positions with Davis, Carr, and Johnson. An O-line that can actually block and a defense that can actually stop somebody will do much more towards making Houston into a competitive team then Bush would have.

I refer to my prior statement. Williams has been hyped up just as much as Bush the last two weeks. He may be a consistent 10 sack guy in the league, but he's not going to be a franchise left tackle, like tha' brick, and he's not going to get you some more draft picks, like dropping down to 4 and picking tha' brick would have. This is the worst kind of football move, it's cheap and stupid all the while thinking that it's actually smart. If you wanted to really be clever you should have traded down and takent the guy who can actually save the ass of your 'franchise' qb.
