paulwhy Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 He should have been cut years ago. He was famous for giving up the big play ADIOS AMIGO !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeTK Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Jimoh was always solid on special teams.... i think its good to know that that doesn't cut it anymore... best of luck to him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTaylorthePunterSlayer Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ade means "liability" in Swahilli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodiesel#44 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 He was a special teams monster up to and through this preseason, but seemed unable to reach #5 CB status. I think some of the young guys seemed to play well on teams, and had more upside as potential starters/backups. I really liked Ade on teams, too bad he wasn't able to lift his CB game. I will miss him on kicks. Good luck Ade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isle-hawg Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I don't think most of us have any hate towards Ade. But truth be told he sucks as a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins0756 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 We're not keeping a guy just based on ST. At least Thrash can be a decent possession receiver on third down instead of being a guy that can just down a punt inside the 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm just disappointed he never made the jump to being a viable option at CB. Seemed like every time he was in the game, the other team went at him for a completion. Maybe someone will move him to safety. He's got good size and tackles well.

skinsjunkie2 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 You just earned yourself a 6 day break. I'm not sure when people decided they could say anything they want here? Thank you for that and on your last thought/question I was wondering the same thing myself. It's been an off weekend all around. Maybe it's the wait for the opener that's doing it. The wondering if this season is finally going to be "The Season" - enough waiting already is how I feel at the moment. I just hate the pre-season. Let the games begin already.

betsy thurman Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 i think we can appreciate the fact that Ade gave all he had - he just was not cut out to be a CB for us and it showed -- best of luck to him wherever he goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alldaz Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ade was great for the Redskins...a blue-collar football player who gave it his all every play...it was obvious he wasn't as athletically skilled as other high-caliber players, yet he exudes more heart and fight than many players in the NFL...He was good for us during his tenure and I hope he continues to get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMason Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I loved Ade. His only flaw was the fact that he's not starter material, and he was on a team that seemed to have a lot of injuries. So he'd get thrust into the starting line-up, cover first-string receivers, and get burned. I hope he catches on with another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxley Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Who is the new whipping boy going to be now? You know Ade Jimoh was crying on the way home. I feel bad for him. Brunell still, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 If there's anything we've learned from James Thrash, though, its that a guy can make a career in this league pretty much solely based on his special teams play. Not to mention that Jimoh has always made bigger contributions (at least visible to the average viewer) than Thrash in terms of blowing up punt and kick returners and downing punts. Watch Thrash on downfield run-blocking and you'll realize he is also pretty important from that aspect. He and Moss are pretty much the only two WR's (at least from what we have seen the last few years) we have who aren't afraid to get dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfanno9 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I suppose on special teams he was good enough but he looked like the worst corner in the NFL whenever he had to cover anybody. I guess they decided that the special teams will be fine without him and we now have four competent corners with Smoot replacing Kenny Wright and Macklin. Agreed. I think everyone liked Jimoh on special teams and cringed when they saw him on the field with the rest of the defense. I wouldn't be surprised if opposing offenses were given the word that "If Jimoh is on the field, forget the play that was called and just pass it to whoever Jimoh guards."

Dead Money Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Every play he made on ST.... was eventually wiped out by a glaring mistake when he was on the field on defense. He would make three ST tackles then commit a PI penalty on third and long. He sucks. I wish him well but "love for him?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzFoLife Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 we have no love for him because he gets burned more than Dennis Leary on "Rescue Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
