ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions plan to put Reggie Bush in the backfield to take toss sweeps around the outside and to hit holes between the tackles. They also want him to line up at times as a wide receiver and to send him in motion, hoping to keep defences guessing about how Matthew Stafford might get him the ball. Bush cant wait. "I definitely want to show I can be an every-down back," he said before the Lions closed their three-day minicamp Thursday. "I wanted to prove to myself and to people that I could do it all and I wasnt a utility back." The Lions certainly arent paying Bush big bucks just to be on the field for a down once in a while. Detroit signed Bush to a $16 million, four-year contract in March, counting on him becoming the big-play running back it hasnt had since concussions took Jahvid Best off the field. "I couldve signed back with Miami, Arizona," Bush said. "Seattle was kind of after me early on and Atlanta was a possibility, too." He has run for 4,162 yards and 29 touchdowns and caught 372 passes for 2,730 yards and 15 scores in two seasons with the Dolphins and five with New Orleans, which drafted him No. 2 overall out of Southern California in 2006. Bush said his role will look like the one he had with the Saints, and not much like his job description in Miami. It will also be similar to what Best did for Detroit until early in the fourth quarter on Oct. 16, 2011, when he lost a yard on a run and was tackled by San Franciscos NaVorro Bowman. In Bests first five games that season, he combined to average more than 100 yards rushing and receiving per game during the teams 5-0 start. Since then, the Lions have lost 19 of 28 games. "I definitely see the opportunity to be able to make an impact on this offence right away," Bush said. "What they were able to do with Jahvid Best, they were able to do something special. But its not just about me. Hopefully, we can all be effective on this offence because its going to take more than one running back." As good as receiver Calvin Johnson has been the past two years with 218 receptions for 3,645 yards and 21 touchdowns, he hasnt been able to overcome being the focal point of a one-dimensional offence. Johnson is confident Bush can change that. "Hes going to force another defender to come down when he starts getting free and making plays," Johnson said. Stafford said Bush should help the Lions have much of what theyve missed without Best. "Hes similar and hes definitely a guy who adds to the talent pool in our running back group," Stafford said. "He has a different skill set that is a great compliment to the other backs we have and our offence in general." It will be offensive co-ordinator Scott Linehans job next month in training camp and beyond to come up with ways to make the most of Johnson and Best. "Reggies definitely going to add a dynamic to our offence," Linehan said. "He gives us a running back that has produced in this league and really, in the last two years, done a really good job of just carrying the ball. Hes done it. "Prior to his last stop, he was doing a lot of the things youll see him do in our offence and be a dual-threat guy. He gives us a dynamic that we got with Jahvid. Its a little different, everybodys different, but he definitely gives us a guy that can be an effective rusher and effective receiver." NOTES: The Lions ended training camp by huddling around Balaal Hollings, an 18-year-old Detroit resident who survived getting shot in the head two months ago. Lions WR Nate Burleson said a small part of his message to the team was to avoid situations where they could get hurt, or worse, as he did attending a party. "He joked about saying, I got shot in the head and I didnt even step on anybodys shoe," Burleson recalled. "The message was deeper than that. He talked about not listening to the critics, people that talk football and dont know football. He said, Man told me I wasnt going to breathe again. Man told me I wasnt going to walk again. And Im here in front of you right now. That was the most powerful thing he said." Cheap Swell Bottle .
