Reaganaut Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Does this guy even belong in the NFL? We cut a solid nickel back in Bauman and keep David Terrell junior in the secondary. This has to be a money move, but how much was Bauman making? I do not understand the Ohalate cut, the Bauman cut, or the Upshaw cut given the lack of depth we have on the defense. I did not expect this, but when these players go on to be starters somewhere else I think we will look back at them like we did at Shawn Barber, Brian Mitchell, ND Kalu, or James Thrash. The lack of attention to the defensive line is a slap in the face for fans of this team. We haven't had one marquee defensive lineman since Charles Mann. Beam me up Mr. Speaker...

Tarhog Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Rome wasn't built in a day my friend. I'll go out on a limb here and say we finish in the top 7 defensively. I'm just very very impressed with how Williams has these guys playing, marquee players or not. As for the cuts, I'll confess I'm equally stumped by the Jimoh over Baumann ranking, but I have to trust Gibbs....hasn't let me down yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Well, with Upshaw and Ohalete, these were guys who did not buy into the system and were commiting penalties that hurt this team and dragged us down. And at 5'7 Bauman couldn't cut it in this league, and I don't think the coaches thought he was going to hit a growth spurt anythime soon. You can't teach height, but skills can be taught to Ade Jimoh...I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpgirth Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 The coach sees the players they are keeping having potential upside. They don't see a dropoff in talent from what they had previous. They see guys like Upshaw, Trotter and Armstead having already reached the ceiling. The Jimoh thing has me puzzled but then again training camp has been closed for a few weeks.:helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players can be built like Tarzan and play like Jane. Bauman was better than Jimoh period. Jimoh is straight garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atloldskin Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Lets see what the coaches see. Bauman has not impressed; Jimoh at least has size and has played better so far this year (of course he sucked last year!). I will give the coaches this one.

Guest SkinsHokie Fan Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Ade started to make some plays late in the preseason. He broke up a deep bomb against Miami and had a few nice plays against ATL. Yet I am still surprised he survived. I guess the fact that he stays on the field helped his cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishomelette Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I think other Redskins would be jealous of Jimoh. He is easily the most infamous, current Redskin. Many threads this preaseason have been devoted to discussing just him. Obviously we and the coaches want mo' Jimoh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyG3 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Jeez, Jimoh over Bauman? I am REALLY surprised by that one. But like Tarhog said - I gotta trust the Coach. He knows a lot better than we all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 He loks solid in zone coverage to me but it was his early knock for no getting an initial bump and getting caught on double moves that frew the ire of some. His size and speed and the potential/desire to learn probably has him still on the team as well as kamikze play on teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yank Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Too bad the Skins only have part time casual observers like Gibbs and Williams to make these boneheaded decisions. Wish they had full time pros in the Hall of Fame like we have on Xtremeskins. Although when you think about it hese novices have been money on every move they made in the offseason - Trotter, Armstead, ST, even Champ for Portis. Maybe they will learn something someday instead of just getting lucky ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Must have been his work ethic to keep him around. He probably contributed well on special team, probably. That's all I can think off right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrunkin Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Sure Jimoh has gotten beat... but so has Bauman... Ade Jimoh has played well at times too... I really dont know why there is so much hate for this guy... he's a redskin... and he will play like one... and if he screws up then ST will be there to back him up... IN GIBBS AND WILLIAMS WE TRUST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I think it came down to special teams play. Ade had some very good blocks on punt returns and gets down the field in coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 If that's the case, then it's possible Jimoh played better than we thought and Bauman did not. Thereby making it possible that it came down to ST's play as the tie breaker. If in fact Bauman played better than Jimoh at DB, I'm not so certain as a coach I would take Jimoh simply because he did better at ST's. Seems like a trade off at the expense of depth.
