Posse81 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Not that it really matters... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1720396 Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals on Tuesday signed free-agent defensive end LaDairis Jackson to a two-year contract. Jackson, who played college football at Oregon State, will be entering his third NFL season. The Bengals acquired him on waivers Oct. 22 from Washington. He was on the game-day inactive list for five games before the Bengals waived him on Nov. 25. Jackson played in 15 games for Washington in 2002, with 2.5 sacks among his 15 tackles.

Griff Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Who needs a young and up & coming player like LaDairis Jackson when we have the likes of a Bruce Smith. JUST KIDDING... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUSTINMFOX Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Yeah...did he not play for the Bengals this year??? He would have been a great third down pass rush specialist for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyG3 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I wish we had kept him. He looked pretty good in preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Wally - So did Steve Spurrier. (even so, I liked Jackson as well. Obviously the coaching staff saw something they didn't like this season.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 didnt they cut him once. He didnt really shine there last year after he was picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OURYEAR#56 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 When has 2.5 sacks impressed anybody? This was his third year in the league. He suppose to be a better player by now. A sack specialist has way more than 2.5 sacks. Weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 His one good preseason game made everyone think he was something that he clearly isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chet06 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 jackson will turn out to be decent if given the opporunity. We should have used him instead of Bruce Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yank Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I thought LJ was a big asset year before last. I have said before that losing him to injury and then release was another instance of the decrease in our "talent" level on D this past season compared to the year before.

Cskin Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I think he was part of the "attitude" that the coaching staff didn't care for that much. Wasn't it reported that he was upset he was deactivated and didn't play this year when our defense was struggling? It's probable that the team didn't feel he was ready medically speaking, a torn patella tendon and meniscus tear doesn't heal overnight, so they eventually released due to his attitude and slow progress. Cincy signed him.. then quickly realized he couldn't help them either due to the slow healing progress and conditioning. They released him to make room for a special teamer down the stretch I think. Lewis might believe something's there to build on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Come on; he had time to prove himself. Stop acting like we lost Reggie White in his prime. Every marginal player who leaves the 'Skins and signs with somebody else is automatically a huge loss. I guarantee we won't be hearing ANYTHING about Ladarias Jackson in the coming season.
