bigchuck Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Jaguars | WR Next? - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com) 21:36 PT: Bart Hubbuch reports for the Florida Times-Union WR may be the next position the Jacksonville Jaguars eye in free agency. Coach Tom Coughlin admits he still wants to upgrade the position. The team will closely look at the list of players released after June 1. The Jaguars also might consider free agent WR Michael Westbrook (Redskins). "We're speculating [about players available after June 1], and I've got a big list, but every year it seems to turn out different," Coughlin said. "Nothing seems to work out the way you draw it up." The team will not consider re-signing WR Keenan McCardell after they release him. He is drawing interest from the Chiefs, Tampa Bay and Cleveland.

cowboykilla Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Westbrook is the man. He will be a pro bowler next year. But I only like Redskins, so he's the enemy as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 If Westbrook signs with the Jags he SHOULD put up some pretty good numbers considering his 'protection' in the lineup Brunell to throw him the ball.......Jimmy Smith to take away primary coverage..........Fred Taylor to run the ball and present a home run threat from the backfield......................... yeah, if Jacksonville is productive on offense in 2002 it will be because Westbrook has made the difference :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you drinking on, and where can I get some? Westbrook has NEVER made a pro bowl and NEVER will. He's not a pro bowl caliber player. Westbrook is Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds......

indyskinsfan Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 There are still possibilities with Westbrook, but his impact will never be what it once was, if any. He has habits that still don't allow seperation and doesn't show up often enough in the really tight games to put the team over the top, when they are looking his way. Sure he got some numbers, TD's, yards, but the W's weren't in the mix to match up with it. Last year he was excluded, so that is understandable about his delimma. Aside from his one big year, he hasn't been consistant enough cause the defense problems covering him. The #1 receiver simply must make a team at least adjust, so single coverage and weak zones won't keep him away from his appointed duties. The most important moments for the #1 WR were few or none. He can get open on certain corners, but the Atlanta's, Arizona's, Dallas', San Diego's, , etc weren't the better of the games we needed to win, when the coverage was much tighter. He just couldn't get it done, consistantly. A touchdown or catch when the game is pretty much done, isn't going to get i. Yes the lessor games you should win, but we also needed to win the BIG games too. From KFFL: http://nfl.kffl.com/teams/players/WESTBROOKMICHAELWASWR.shtml Week Opp H/R In? Turf?

NO TD's - nadda. What hurts also is the indecisive Banks and Jimmy Raye presiding over the passing game, clouding the issue. Still seperation wasn't all that and it showed often enough that the #2 also covered, was thrown to. During that stretch, evey game had huge written all over it and he didn't rise to the occassion. I had always thought he'd at least surpass Gary Clark's level, but he always had excuses for not acheiving at least that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Who says the Jags will have the OL to allow their offense to flourish? Westbrook will that as another one of his large array of excuses why he didn't produce for his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Westy may do well in surrounding I just want our young guys o get a chance to show their skillz before they are written off Skaggs and D Mac in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 The difference between Westbrook and truly great wideouts, is that you'll never hear special ones making excuses for their performance...I can't imagine Jerry Rice saying, "I didn't play well because of my O-line."

Awesome Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I have no problem with him moving on, especially if its in the AFC. Not sure about the pro bowl. but one thing is for sure, he's not a #1, at least hasn't been for the past seven years. now, put him with a solid qb and a talented wr across from him , and who knows. All that comes to mind when i think about him these days is the pass he flat out dropped on the 20 yard line against Philly last year. I have always had the sneaking suspicion that the guy is just a ***** deep down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Westbrook and his bag of excuses is headed out of town and that is cause for rejoicing. You know who Westbrook reminds me of? Nick Van Excel. the guy has talent but because of a poor attitude early in his career and a 'know it all' mentality he was never able to develop into the player he COULD have been. the Lakers got rid of Van Excel because he was a locker room cancer. the Redskins got less production out of Westbrook than the Lakers did out of Nick, but essentially are cutting him loose for the same reason, it is time to move on.

Rat_Boy Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Once again, Tha Bulldog nails the mark dead center. My predicition? (Wish I could staple this up somewhere.) Westbrook will sign with a team (Jags?) that already has an ESTABLISHED #1 threat at WR. (Jimmy Smith?) So, since teh #1 threat will be drawing the primary coverage, Westbrook will be allowed to abuse #2 and #3 DB's FOR A CHANGE. He will then put up monster #'s, and all these Westbrook lovers (X-Factor, Cowboykilla, etc.) will come back and give us the "I told you so" bit to no end. Oh, and I am not meaning to offend the Westbrook followers. It's just what I think will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I believe that will happen as well. Westy as a number 2 but behaving like he's a number one. If he discovers humility at his next stop then he may evade the Van Exel comparison but I wouldnt take ods on that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
