Isaac Bruce Released

Monksdown · 03-06-2006, 03:43 PM

If we get Isaac Bruce, Im taking a one way train to Dallas. Where it will be silver and blue for eternity. Come on guys, he will be overpriced, and over valued.

vet min., 800 yards, we're gold baby...

jordanz301 · 03-06-2006, 04:32 PM

i think we should pick this guy up immediately theres no one really in the draft that really is that appealing.......i doubt that hell sign vet min considering the fact that he got released bc he wouldnt restructure his contract. so thats out. but id love for this guy to sign with us.........everyone on this site is looking for a low mileage lamborghini asking for very low price. we need to get a reality check here and realize that no1s an idiot an there all gnna ask for more than what theyre worth!.....u get what u pay for in most cases.

I think my stock response for any good player in a need position on the market should be "Sure I'll take him for the right price." Stupid CBA is preoccupying me.

People want Moulds, but are saying Bruce is too old. Give me a break they are the same age.

Bruce may have a lot of f'ball left. Someone said he doesn't go over the middle well - I beg to differ, as I recall he runs the slant as well as anyone & is pretty tough. Great hands & I think blocks fairly well too.
No doubt about it, he's a Gibb's type guy, would be a great fit for us if a team like the vikings doesn't snatch him up at a high price.They've got the $ to pay him.

When I saw Bruce's name come across the ESPN wire I was definitely intrigued, but he does have the age and injury factors working against him.

"While the Rams had only a brief discussion Monday with Bruce's agent, Jimmy Sexton, four teams had called expressing interest in Bruce by late afternoon. Sexton declined to name those teams, but the Post-Dispatch confirmed the identity of three of the clubs: Detroit, Houston and Washington."

I think that Ike Bruce would be a great addition to this club. You put him as the #2 receiver and forget about it for the next 2 or 3 years. He was a great receiver. He still can be very good. We could draft a WR in the later rounds have Bruce, Patten and Moss ahead of him and bring him along until that guy is ready to slide at #2 ahead of Patten or at #3 behind him when Ike decides he's done. I think adding Isaac Bruce immediately makes this team better.

He is old, but we don't need a long term solution at the #2 spot right now. I don't think there's anyone in the draft who is going to come right into camp and jump ahead of Patten on the Skins depth chart. Isaac Bruce could be the short term solution to that problem. Plus, he's one the best receivers in Rams history.

That Guy · 03-07-2006, 10:49 AM

i'd take him over curtis or bryant or givens or R-el...

It depends on what the Skins are looking for. If we need a "long term solution" I think that Givens or Randle El would be the way to go. However, I think that Bruce is pretty much a can't miss guy. He's would come in, be the #2, and catch pretty much everything that comes his way. He has great hands and he runs great routes. Everyone else is rough around the edges. I think that if we get Bruce he'll only be here for 2 or 3 years, but I think it would be a very good stretch for him. I've always liked Ike Bruce. I would love to see him with the Skins.

That Guy · 03-07-2006, 11:18 AM

the WR market is terrible in FA and the draft, i think he's the best short term answer while waiting for someone else to free up or develop

Redskins_P · 03-07-2006, 11:22 AM

I think Bruce still has a couple years left in the tank. I wouldn't mind seeing him in burgundy and gold.

But aren't we looking for a possesion receiver with size?

That Guy · 03-07-2006, 11:24 AM

whose out there? i'd take talent and production over size any day...

jdlea · 03-07-2006, 11:28 AM

Well, Eric Moulds will probably be out there, but I think that Isaac Bruce could even fit into that category. He doesn't necessarily have great size, but he can get open and he has great hands. That could make him a go to guy on 3rd downs. Also, Isaac Bruce would be a threat so teams couldn't just roll coverage to Santana's side. He can be a game breaker and if we had Patten at 3 behind those two...wow. I think that the passing game could explode if Bruce brought anything close to what he was before he got hurt with the Rams.
