DWinzit Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Although he only played three years in a rotation for the Redskins, James "Jumpy" Geathers is one my favorite players and people. I loved when he'd use his patented forklift move when rushing the passer, blockers just couldn't do anything. I had the privilege of meeting him in 92, great guy.

Good job on #11 and #12, those were the toughest ones, although you spelled Eric wrong......He spellled it Erik, that's what made him so special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 If I remember, didn't the Saints also think he had attitude problems, or am I thinking of someone else? I remember that being a nice rotation of Fred Stokes on 1st and 2nd, and Jumpy in on passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scskin Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Clifton is still with Spurrier, Robert is with the Bengals, Jeremy signed as an UDFA with the Saints. The biggest of them all is the baby Kwame. He is 6-6 320 and very highly recruited this year. Jumpy and his brother Robert put out some big ones. Robert played for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
