My hope is that we get an early lead so Bruce can be Bruce and pin his ears back.

The only way I see him struggling is if we get down again (like in Washington), and he has to defend against 300 lb lineman and TE's pushing him downfield. It was no coincidence that he started playing well last week when we got a lead and the Skins had to start passing.

He STILL needs to learn a Spin Move. But ya, he came alive when Clem went out.


Maybe he has that move and is ready to unveil it? Atlanta cant run that well anyway so we can put a bit slower LEO in there until 2nd down most likely, until is obvious anyway

Atlanta's O-line is not dominant in the middle. I could see Mebane and Branch actually getting push up the middle and they pass most of the time. Irvin does a good job getting around the backside so if we can get some push in the middle from Mebane and Branch, I could see Bruce creating some havoc in the backfield.

If his play at the end of the Skins game is any indication im not worried about him. What is concerning is who replaces him on passing downs?
