Last year he missed 5 games, got nagged by injuries all season, and Martz was sidelined. I wouldn't pay a lot for him given that we could get a David Givens for pretty cheap, but Bruce would be able to come in and assimilate our offense very quickly. He knows the Saunders style offense already.

he knows the style of offense, and i think he could contribute, but would you rather go after someone else?

Not really. Randle-El is a hot commodity and will be way overpriced when all is said and done. I don't want Antonio Bryant, he's a cancer. Jurevicius would be alright, but he's been in west coast offenses, not our style of offense. I'm not interested in Koren Robinson, he's not a Gibbs guy. Brandon Lloyd is restricted and I wouldn't want to give up any of our precious draft picks for him. I think I'd like Givens about as much as I'd like Bruce, between them it would come down to price for me.

I'd throw Moulds into that mix too. I know he supposedly had problems in Buff. last year, but he was never a malcontent before and I think the Buffalo offense and/or coaching staff had real problems last year. He is about the same age as Bruce and was a first tier WR for a long time. If he gets cut, and the price is right, then my I would go with Givens first then Bruce or Moulds then Randle-El.

im all for KR. he really is a gibbs guy. reformed christian. seriously an overall good guy.

I'm wary about Koren Robinson because he drops so many balls. I know he had a resurgence last year, but I'm not sure he's the most reliable to be our #2.

Randle-El really is a #1 guy. He's that good. He would have a breakout year like Santana did for us if he was a # 1 somewhere. I'd be surprised to seem him leave the Steelers though.

I think Isaac Bruce can still play. He had a decent season last year and that's with him being hurt part of the season as well as Bulger. His ship hasn't sailed just yet.

I'd just like another guy that could stretch the field. Antonio Bryant seems like an intriguing project. I wonder if he really does want to prove himself and a bit of redemption or if he really is just a mess.

he doesn't have the ball reaction and i don't think he's quite as fast. He had better numbers as a #3 than a #2 as well, so i'd be wary of betting the farm on him.

My bet is that the Skins don't go for a WR in free agency. I think Al Saunders will want to add another pass receiver at the TE slot. There are several good prospects at that position in the draft.

Can someone please explain why people are posting Javon Walker. I dont see his name as a free agent. Are you guys suggesting we trade for him?

Monksdown · 03-09-2006, 10:41 AM

Wow, we really have no idea do we?

He a big physical guy. We need a big receiver. Moss, Patten are smaller guys. We need another Red Zone guy, a guy that can out jump the DBs, make the touch catches across the middle.(I know moss does that)
