205enforcer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 i would go with bruce as he is more consistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth8ball Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Matt Jones is the player that DelRio wants to be his number one. He is sticking with Garrard because he feels he is a better passer and has more mobility than Lefty. DelRio is smart and has been cautious with bringing back Matt Jones and has tried to patiently worked his timing with Garrard back to where he needs to be. All signs point to the Jags feeding the ball to Jones early and often. As long as the hammy holds he will have a good chance at 100 yards and a Touchdown. Keep in mind it is the speed he has for his size that is his best attribute, breaking a long one is very possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingoes Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Bruce. His production is more consistent and Garrard seems to favor Wilford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth8ball Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) Bruce. His production is more consistent and Garrard seems to favor Wilford. Last 3 games vs Sea. Holt 325 yards and 5 TD's Bruce 61 and 0 TD's and Holt had a 45 yard and no touch game last year, which means 140 avg and 2.5 over the other two. make up your own mind and thank me on Mon.

Dingoes Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) I show Bruce over the last 4 games vs. Seattle with a total of 19 rec and 243 yds. In 2005 he was 1-16 in his only game against Seattle. Matt Jones in 2 games vs. Houston has a total of 3 rec for 21 yds, and 5 yds rushing, or 13 yds of offense per game if you want to play H2H stats. On the year Matt Jones has done the following: wk1 vs. Dal: 5 rec, 71 yds wk2 vs. Pit: 6-73 wk3 vs. Ind: 0-0 wk4 vs Wash: 2-13 wk8 vs. Phi: 2-32 wk9 vs. Tenn: 3-66 On the year Bruce has done the following: wk1 vs. Den: 5-64 wk2 vs. SF: 5-77 wk3 vs. AZ: 3-79 wk4 vs. Det: 7-100, 1td wk5 vs. GB: 2-23 wk6 vs. Sea: 5-45 wk8 vs. SD: 5-105 Wk9 vs. KC: 3-61 Stats aside, look at the defenses too- Dunta Robinson vs. Matt Jones or Kelly Herndon vs. Isaac Bruce. In the big picture, you're probably looking at 3 rec for either receiver and 50 yds of expected production. I just feel more comfortable about Bruce getting those numbers than Jones.

JetFanMike Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Matt Jones -- he's the #1 receiver and much more athletic than the guys guarding him. And he'll pretty much always be the Rams #2 option behind whichever RB is in the game. Bruce is the Rams #2 receiver at best (Curtis has been getting decent PT too); and is way behind Holt and SJax in the pecking order. Jones has a MUCh bigger upside.

Dingoes Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Who did you end up starting? Bruce had 7 rec for 66 yds. Jones had 1 rec for 11 yds. Should have had more, but this is the second week in a row he's bobbled away some passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
