GSF Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I know hindsight is 20/20, but I can't help but wonder if we could have gotten a decent passrusher with that pick. We certainly don't appear to need Jacobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Honestly..yeah. LOL I forget who was left, but damn... It'd be nice to have just ONE pass rusher. I thought LD Jackson might be that kind of guy. Maybe he can heal up and get off the inactive list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Chris Kelsay was still very much available. I was hoping we'd take him, but Jacobs still seems like a logical pick. McCants has clearly stepped up as the 3rd receiver. Jacobs may have a chance at #4 next week, but Johnson stepped up as well. I still think we should give Jacobs a chance. He's been injured, which isn't his fault. It's anybody's guess whether he'd be making the same plays as McCants is if he wasn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 we could have used a DL in round 2 or a safety. the upside for Jacobs according to the Redskins is equal to that of a top 15 pick in the draft. we are going to have to watch this closely, but if true Jacobs would be worth his weight in gold. remember that with the money we have paid Coles it may not be possible to give Gardner a new contract he likes. it may very well be that like Betts last year (for Davis) Jacobs may be the next #2 receiver on the Redskins and a good insurance policy in case someone gets hurt this season.

matty dread Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Last year around this time a lot of people were questioning the Ladell Betts pick, I don't hear anyone grumbling about it now. Point is you've got to give him time to pan out. He hasn't even stepped on the field yet. Could the Redskins have gone after a pass rusher? Sure, but when someone like Jacobs slips all the way down to #44 snatching him up is a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hindsight? yeah, we should have taken SOMEONE who can apply pressure on the QB. Down the road, we might lose Gardner in which case the Jacobs pick might work out. But this season? Yeah, we need a passrusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty dread Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Can someone tell me what impact type pass rusher was available at #44 that's making any noise this year? I'd like to know if there are any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidemankent Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Now wait everyone. Just look at all the other Gator players that Spurrier brought in and done so much for us. Matthews and Woeful have played so well for us last year .............. oh wait, nevermind. huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 so, what happens if Gardner or Coles gets dinged later in the season and the Redskins need a playmaking WR to be the team's deep threat? McCants doesn't fit that role. And Russell appears to be just too raw. Jacobs could yet save our bacon at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 If Coles gets hurt, bulldog, our season is over. Plain and simple. Well, that's just my own opinion, but Coles is the best thing to hit the Washington Redskins since Deion! ... I mean Joe Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 can we make an agreement that any reference to Deion Sanders as being part of or affiliated in any way with the Washington Redskins be erased completely and permanently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
