Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush said he believes the team should have the top offense in the NFL this season. 'Honestly, I believe there's no excuse for us not to have the No. 1-ranked offense. We have all the right pieces and the necessary players here to be the top offense in the league. No excuse,' Bush said.

Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush said he is willing to be a punt returner if the team asks him to handle to role. 'You know, for me, I've done it before and I don't mind it,' Bush said. 'I feel I can still do it if I need to, and if they want me to do it, I'll definitely go out there and return punts.'

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson is excited RB Reggie Bush signed with the Lions, because it means teams will have to defend the Lions offense differently. "It's going to force them to bring another man down, more than we had last year," Johnson said on Monday. "You know, if you don't, Reggie can make you look foolish in the open field."

Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush is comfortable in the team's offense, and he's comparing it to the days when he was with the New Orleans Saints. 'I've always enjoyed being in the position that I am and doing what I do, being able to split out wide and catch balls so it's great that offenses are going toward that direction,' Bush said.

West Virginia WR Tavon Austin, who visited with the Detroit Lions Wednesday, April 17, said he would provide the team with another weapon similar to RB Reggie Bush. 'Another type of player like Reggie (Bush). Me and him would probably be twins back there,' Austin said.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said Tuesday, April 9, that RB Reggie Bush could potentially catch between 60-80 balls in 2013.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said all three of the teams running backs, Reggie Bush, Mikel Leshoure, and Joique Bell, will have a role in 2013. 'Joique runs the ball a little bit different than Mikel, but they both run a little bit different and present different things than Reggie, and I think that combination of guys is good. People like to say running back by committee and things like that, but each guy will have a role. There will be plenty of touches on the offense for everybody.'
Fantasy Impact: Even with that said, Bush is expected to get much of the work at running back for the Lions in 2013. He is the back to own in Detroit.
