ntotoro Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Wonder if he'll go back to his old number now that Soutmire is gone. I know he won't pick up next year as much as he did between the '04 and '05 seasons, but I'm looking forward to seeing more improvement from him in the Nickel position.

Skins24 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 ....but I'm looking forward to seeing more improvement from him in the Nickel position. Yeah, instead of getting beat 3-5 times a game, only once or twice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest santana4prez Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Another key player resigned. Jimoh is a great special teams player and a up and coming cornerback. HTTR:helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 awesome, im a big fan of jimoh, but only on special teams. he tends to give me a heart attack when playing nickel corner so im hoping we can pick someone up to play nickel corner instead of jimoh or even draft someone, which im almost positive we will.

kevinklein Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Ade won't be our Nickel Corner if Gibbs/Williams/Snyder can help it. They've already expressed the fact that they are interested in obtaining a more established CB. Jimoh's resigning is most likely due to the fact that he played excellent on Special Teams last year.

speedmike Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 GREAT News. We definitely need him on board, whether or not we sign another CB this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already expressed the fact that they are interested in obtaining a more established CB. Well, I think we are looking for depth, because we are only three deep in corners before you hit the scrubs. It doesn't mean that whoever they sign is going to beat out Jimoh. Course, that's what training camp is for. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 For two years I questioned this guy, but not as of last year. He's worthy of the roster spot. 4th in tackles on ST last year, and improving as a corner. Darwin rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 im hoping this is a 2-3 year deal, thatd be great. He made great strides, and provides the solid depth we need, I want another nickel CB, but he is a dependable guy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlamVR Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 One thing that really hurt last year was all the CB on the team got really banged up Springs, Harris and Rodgers . Ade had a good year and I wouldn't mind seeing him in the nickle possition and so I like this signing ...that said I also would mind getting some olid depth with him like fletcher .

Isifhan Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I love the people that base his play currently on the play that he displayed during the spurrier years....the guy has made some serious strides, is an impact player on teams and a solid #3 option. I'm very happy with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painfulyetloyal Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 awesome, im a big fan of jimoh, but only on special teams. he tends to give me a heart attack when playing nickel corner so im hoping we can pick someone up to play nickel corner instead of jimoh or even draft someone, which im almost positive we will. WOW, you're almost positive we'll draft a CB to play nickle corner? What, are you JG grandson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Good news if you ask me. Personally, I've been pushing for him to atleast take a shot at being our nickel guy since Harris left. Not to mention this kid is the ST of special teams and can LAY THE WOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMUGator19 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 hes improving, and is a BEAST on ST, he will do just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankbones Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 so many people are ignorant about how jimoh played last yearhe made huge strides It really is getting quite annoying. ST play aside, Jimoh was solid for us last year. The tackle he made on Fitzgerald to seal the game against the Cards was an unbelievable play. So many people have made this guy a scapegoat over the years, but the fact is he has continued to improve every year with us. And he is our best special teams player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Id be more comfortable with Tom Carter at cornerback than this guy. Jimoh was a special teams beast in 2005. He is still a developing corner. I think a good offseason and training camp could really help him become a good caliber nickle corner. Give the guy a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchslmnky Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 The way he palyed corner the first year really was really hurting my eyes. But I think everyone is saying it correctly. Jimoh has improved every year but I think last year he was looking really good not only on ST but corner as well. I am glad that we signed him even though it was only to his tender. He will be a URFA in 2007. We might want to sign him before then because his value could really jump this year if he continues to improve like he did last year.
