[skins lady]

Good signing. Maybe it's a long-term deal this time. It seems like he's a free agent every year.

[betterczechyourself]

meh

he will be a free agent next year as well..

the day that ade gets a multi year deal from anyone the time space continuum is going to collapse

[LATrueRedskin]

He's a good special teams player, so that's good enough for me.

[Redskin4Life]

I hope he won't since we'll have drafted a corner that'll take his spot over on Teams and will be our #3 (with the potential of being our #1 in the future).

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Now our offseason is perfect.

[santanadasavior]

I think that he has the ability to be our dime corner. We can use a safety if we ever want to use the quarter formation but I think he is good enough to be number 4.

as long as he does not have to provide man coverage and can defend the run most of the time, he is fine.. deep coverage is still his major weakness

[CNYSkinFan]

Now we can finally get rid of that Malcontent no good ***censored by spence*** Sean Springs.

[CarMike]

He's a good special teams player, so that's good enough for me.
Couldn't agree more...

[Redskinfan28]

I never thought I would be happy to say that I am happy that he is back, but I am. Good special teams player.

[FanFromArizona]

I like the resigning, but at some point I would like to see improvement in his CB skills.

I like his Special Teams play, but would like to see at some point in the future
competition by a youngster for his roster spot. I am sure there will come a point where we will be able to draft a player (perhaps in the late rounds of the draft) that can both play ST and have cover skills and develop better than Ade has.

Ade just has not developed into what I had hoped he would.

[whistleandthumb]

Who needs Nate Clements?!?

[santanadasavior]

as long as he does not have to provide man coverage and can defend the run most of the time, he is fine.. deep coverage is still his major weakness

I thought he did a pretty good job against Plaxico in our last game for the two plays he was in there for.

[shally]

whcih one, the one he fouled him or the one he took off his helmet and got flagged ? oh.. the same one was it ?
did we ever figure out how many yards he accounted for on that one play ??

[Keino]

I don't think I've seen a Defensive liability at CB on the roster so long outside of Mike Nelms....at least he could run back kicks.

ST play got him re-signed. Would be worried if he was our full time starter.

Man, it's pretty sad when there are more posts about Shally in the "Redskins sign Ade Jimoh" thread then there are about Ade Jimoh!!! :lol1:

:smash:
beaten like a rented mule he is....

[Brokenstriker]

shally for Team Doctor

[smoak]

Please stay on topic. I deleted posts that didn't have to do with Ade Jimoh or at least the Redskins. There are plenty of good Apache threads for rambling on other subjects.

Thank you.

For my part, I am glad to welcome home a true Redskin.

[Keino]

Ade Jimoh Sucks. I realize every player can't be a stud, but we can't upgrade our 4th CB? Bleh.

[redskin_rich]

Re-signing Jimoh is just more reason that we need to bring a good CB in that can stay healthy.
Smoot- missed games to injuries for 3 years running.
Rogers- missed games to injuries for 2 years running.
Springs- 6 years running and a lock to miss 3-4 games at this point, IMO.
Jimoh- stays healthy but must wear a firesuit.

honestly, i think it is a nature of the position that a lot of them get hurt.. not only do they have to turn and cut constantly and then plant.
but they also have to take on runners who have a full head of steam and tight ends and pulling guards and tackles who are coming at them full speed with malice
we often laughed at plays where dockery jacked up some poor corner, but that is the risk that they take and why they are so well paid.

and that does not even include bigger and bigger receivers who try to run over then

it is a very tough position to play

[Axegrinder]

Good re-signing.
He's improved every year,and he's a good special teamer.
I don't ever expect him to be a #1 cover corner,so I'll maintain tempered expectations.

[skinsfaninva]

Ade Jimoh Sucks. I realize every player can't be a stud, but we can't upgrade our 4th CB? Bleh.

Ade Jimoh Sucks? I don't think so. Is an All-Pro CB? NO! Is he a capable fill in as a 4th or 5th DB? Probably. Is he a leader on special teams and a special teams demon? YES!! He is more valuable to this team than alot of people tend to think.

[Sharpshooter]

I won't say that Gibbs&CO <High Pitched voice "What I feel like, When we make a decision, It's all of us, Ok, I'll say something, Dan'll go over it Vinny.." Couldn't resist, anyway, I won't say that there haven't been some boneheaded personnell decisions made, But Gibbs isn't a moron, He knows how important teams are, and knows what a good teams player is...Is Thrash a 2 or even a 3 reciever anymore, No, but he has great character, and is great on teams...same with Jimoh. He's not being asked to be a top corner...just a good teams player. he's got that, plus he tries hard. that's why he's here

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I like having this guy on the team. I actually think he has done all right in a very limited role as corner the last two years. I also bet this signing is in some way a nod to Danny Smith with the success he has had with ST.

[Skinz4lyfe]

Good signing. Jimoh is a special teams demon and we need those kind of role guys on our team. Yo Jimoh!

[RedskinRyan]

Ade Jimoh Sucks. I realize every player can't be a stud, but we can't upgrade our 4th CB? Bleh.

are you kidding me? this resigning just assured that we're going to the super bowl, baby!

all jokes aside, i think this is a great signing for us. jimoh has been a stellar ST'er year in and year out. playing cb however...

[skinsfan36]

good signing hes an awesome special teamer. can cover a 4th reciever but not anything better then that.

[joethefan]

yippeee.....:banghead:


I know one thing we'd better not come slacking when it's time for Cooley and Taylor...

[skinsfan36]

yippeee.....:banghead:


I kow one thing we'd better not come clacking when it's time for Cooley and Taylor...
i think they have hinted to jlc taht they will try real hard to extend cooley this summer. and taylor is signed through 2010(2011 is voidable)

[joethefan]

i think they have hinted to jlc taht they will try real hard to extend cooley this summer. and taylor is signed through 2010(2011 is voidable)


yea i know, but if these are core guys like you say they are....makem happy...cause I got a feeling that if taylor has a half better season than last and makes it to the pro bowl without being second tier, he'll ask for a new deal that could lead to a hold out....so if you get him signed to a newer deal at least at the end of next season.....you won't have any issues....kida like the dock move we made....sign him early in hopes of no future money requests or hold outs and make the guy happy that's already worked out for you...and take care of him.

i agree with you extend him and cooley before they command crazy money

[DCassain21]

nice signing, good special team player and maybe could be the 4th corner

[skinfan43]

Good for Ade, big props for getting us to not hate him.
Maybe his wife will come back to HR and talk to us someday now.
Probably not.
BTW, anybody love Victory Golden Monkey as much as I do?

[betterczechyourself]

woot

[JsMaViSd]

if michael lewis got $10 mil guaranteed, id hate to see what taylor would ask for

[dj_stouty]

Any word on the contract details?

Great special teamer (I think he has averaged one ST tackle per game as a Redskin) but downright horrible and dreadful cornerback.

Put it this way, I'd rather have Adam Archuletta playing 4th corner than Ade. At least Arch is trailing the receiver enough to make a cool looking dive at the endzone while his man celebrates the TD. Ade is usually out in left field day dreaming.

[PennSkinsFan]

Excellent. Guy provides good depth at CB, but man, he is a machine on special teams and has helped elevate our coverage units as one of the best in the NFC

[GWBlitzST]

No. No. No. No. Special teams or not, this guy is a disaster area when he's asked to cover someone on defense. Just about any crazy person out there can gun on special teams. I want players on my team to be able to play the position they are listed as, which Jimoh has shown time and again he cannot.

[GWBlitzST]

i agree with you extend him and cooley before they command crazy money
Cooley won't ask for crazy money. If he does, we should list him as a HB, franchise him, and set his salary as his salary the year before, which would be the average of the highest top 5 HBs in the league (he being the only one)

I don't believe you can label anyone in the NFL as an "H-Back". Fullback? Yes...but not an H-back. At least not for franchising purposes...

And yes...I think Cooley will ask for and command top 5 TE money. He has been an absolute steal in terms of price of production, so they Skins better wrap him up now.

I guess we will find out what his asking price is after Randy McMichael lands a new team.

he might stall and try to go the dockery route anyway.. they better be prepared to franchise him if needed

Cooley is awesome. I want him to be the starting TE for the Skins for a long long time.

[GWBlitzST]

Oh yeah and Ade Jimoh must be really good at bringing Gregg Williams Gatorade, because I don't get why we wasted a spot on D for this guy when Eubanks could surely do his job on ST not to mention Arch and Doughty and ST.

[James F. Quinn]

I think his best chance to succeed is with the Redskins and he knows it. I really don't think other teams will break the bank for him
This is a TE who caught 71 passes on a mediocre offense with a limp-armed QB. A guy who consistently finds open spaces and runs down DBs trying to tackle him

I think there are a few teams that might want to offer him some serious money. They'd better not offer him $12M for 3 years and expect him to jump on it.

[skinsfan36]

so jimoh signed a 3 yr deal according to warpath.net. they usually just give him 1 yr deals

[BurgundyNGold]

Good for Ade. He's gotten better every year and deserves the longer deal. Do you have a link for that?

[redskin_rich]

Better at what? He has always been good on special teams, that is why he has stuck around like a bad infection but he has shown no improvement as a CB.

[BurgundyNGold]

I think he has. Every game he plays corner he puts a highlight reel stick on somebody. And his coverage has gotten better. I won't say it's great or that I'm not a little concerned with him back there, but there were times last season when I wanted him in there instead of Kenny Wright. That's improvement.

[redskinz#1fan]

Cooley is very short for a NFL TE. I think his best chance to succeed is with the Redskins and he knows it. I really don't think other teams will break the bank for him, though I do think we should offer him a nice contract to reward him for his efforts.


I'll just say that I disagree with you....... a lot! You might want to go and watch some game tapes, and then comeback and rewrite your statement! I'll act like I never saw this! :rolleyes:

Ade is a fine special team player and if we were more solid with our top 3 CB's, I would have no problem keeping him here. But our top 3 CB's all have had injury problems and I would rather use the roster spot for 4th CB on a newcomer.
We already have vets like Thrash, Rock, K Campbell and youngsters like Doughty and Espy, that are mainly special teamers.

its on pcinoz's contract details on warpathhttp://www.skinsfans.com/pcinoz/Sala...20Summary.html3 year, vet min, $150K signing bonus, so he could be cut anytime, no that he will but just pointing that out.

then someone like eubanks or another player has to beat him out.. it is that simple

[joethefan]

I agree with you as well....what good are you if you're immediate positon is corner but the defenssive coaches have no confidence in you that you can step up....This signing may be good for ST but if his immediate postion is corner and he can't get on the field when you need a corner and you'd rather sign mike rumph then that is a problem IMO....our second and third stringers should be our ST guys....is he a 2nd stringer....?

[redskin_rich]

then someone like eubanks or another player has to beat him out.. it is that simple
No, it isn't that simple. This coaching staff likes vets and especially, when it come to fringe players, it would take an incredible performance in camp and preseason to unseat the incumbents and even then, it probably wouldn't happen.

i think you are correct.. guys like PP, rock, thrash, sellers have endeared themselves to the coaches by the sheer effort. k campbell and jimoh fall into that category as well. that is nearly half of the coverage units.

still we have added guys like morton and patterson to the squad in years past, so jimoh will remain on the bubble every year..but all they need is a hammy and the door flies open for someone else.. they are not all guaranteed spots

[skinsfan36]

i like eubanks making the team this year as the 5th corner,if he practices in camp like he did last year(portis said he looked great in practice)

yea but at least rock sellars and many others contribute on the field in thier positions....ade seems like all he does is cover kicjs and punts well...is that worth a full roster spot...the defensive coaches have no confidence in him....whay do you think we went after mike rumph as opposed to giving ade a shot at starting....last year.

I think so. Believe it or not, I think his hard work is paying off. I've seen improvement and I don't mind having him as dime corner. I'd need to see more improvement for me to be comfortable with him as nickel.

i honestly thought he regressed in pass coverage this year-- although his special teams play was superb

[BurgundyNGold]

Based on what evidence? How many TDs did he give up this year as compared to previous years? And you know what? He played more this season because of injuries to Springs and Rogers. Putting him up against someone like Marvin Harrison is not fair at all, but his size lets him cover folks like Drew Bennett. I just wish the DB coaches would teach these guys to look back for the ball on occasion. The whole lot of them always have their backs to the ball on pretty much every play.

well payy attention to the fact that if Mike Rumph can come in sign and start the next week...that tells me that ade aint ready...to be a 1 or 2. But the colts can sub a guy in that was a nobody and he make an impact....that's my issue....if rumph and wright played that badd last year why didn't they just try ade at that spot....

By the middle of the season, Jimoh was playing and Rumph wasn't even dressing. Honestly, I thought Jimoh was no worse than Wright last season and could have been better if given more opportunity.

[joethefan]

ou may be right but if he's not given the nod, what are we to think? that makes me thnik that the coaches have no confidence in him....

we need to begin looking for younger guys that add depth that are hungry as opposed to guys that play ST as a living....I don'tlike that concept...

Springs going down last year just put us in emergency mode. I say we should even draft a corner high (if we were to get a 2nd or a 3rd)....We can't have another situation like that again....

Because they know that Ade can't and won't ever be more than a 4th CB. Those guys you mentioned have started many games. Whether or not they have played well is besides the point. At least they have been starting CB's in this league and their abilities weren't fully known to the coaches yet.
Ade gets torched by scrubs in scrimmages, putting him in a real game as a starter would be giving the other team an easy avenue to score. I would rather see Thrash play in coverage, if needed, than Jimoh.

And you just proved my point, whay waste a full roster spot on a guy whose number 1 position is corner if he can't help you there....this is waht I mean by drafting for depth....if our no 4 corrner gets torched by unknowns in preseason, why is he on the roster?.

I think Jimoh is actually a safety, at best IMO. He likes to deliver the hit, but can't do the "bump" and run like a natural corner. He is far better as a Nickel, because he is BACK like a safety. He also makes better plays from attack angles. he's in the wrong position.

Worth a shot. Here's the reason I say it.

Merton Hanks was playing corner for San Francisco, in the second surge of their dynasty(Montana's 88-89 seasons, and the beginning of Steve Young taking over). He was fine for all intents and purposes, but he got moved to Safety and when San Francisco got Deion Sanders, it helped both the DLine and Sanders tremendously. It was because Hanks' speed, love for hitting and aggitating receivers, TE's, and those angles drove the offenses crazy, while the teams' sack and INT rate simply went to the roof.

but would he be the one covering TE's up the seam?

[bgforever]

No, I think Taylor would, big time. Like his first year, notice how he (Taylor was all into the passing d). I think he returns to that this year, to showcase his multiple skills.

I also got an update on Hanks. He was a "fill in" Safety for Hall, because McDonald, was the other safety and people had to throw away from McDonald and Sanders, which allowed Hanks to get 7 freakin' picks in big games! He was also 4th on the team, in tackles in '94 their SB year, with 62., and a half a sack. Jimoh should be groomed for a Safety spot,and taught the reading of QB's. He seems so out of place at CB.

[RedskinsATW!]

OUTSTANDING! I was wondering how we were going to fill that gaping hole at CB when Kenny Wright left. Now I know! :rolleyes:

[Pet-E-Bone]

WOW!!!...I love when people put on their burgandy and gold glasses and talk about how great of a signing this was...are you guys serious?...they can pretty much plug anyone into special teams and Jimoh didn't stand out like Campbell and Fox do...and to top it off, please anyone name me one time that Jimoh didn't screw up somehow when he came in to play corner?...this year, when he played, he was called for a few blatant pass interferences that he had to do cuz he was getting burned so badly...I'm guessing that he is the biggest a** kisser in the world because there is no way that he is on any other NFL rosters except ours...we were 5-11 last year people...time to weed out the weak links and he is definitely one of them....

I'm not sure exactly where you're coming from with the B&G colored glasses talk. Just about ALL the commentary in this thread is either dripping w/ sarcasm, or blantly derogatory of Ade Jimoh.

I think most folks on this board couldn't care less if Jimoh were to cut. The fact that he got a multi-year deal is the surprize.

I think most folks on this board couldn't care less if Jimoh were to cut. The fact that he got a multi-year deal is the surprize.

yup.. 3 years does seem to be a strong vote of confidence for what looks to be a special teams player

I have no problem rewarding Special Teams players, AS LONG AS they can be contributors on the field in their natural position. James Thrash is a great example. The guy plays solid Teams...yet is also good for at least one clutch catch per game; when called upon.

Jimoh is the opposite. Ade tends to give up at least one big play per game when asked to play corner.

The scary thing is that someday, I could see him being the Redskin with the most tenure on the team. :(

Just goes to show the state of this franchise compared to 20 years ago. Back then, we had a great special teamer and nickle LB named Monte Coleman, who had a very long tenure on this team.
Now, we have Ade Jimoh...

no salary cap then.. but monte was a better player 3 years into his career than jimoh ever has been.. and monte had the problem of coming from a smaller school and being very light weight

Good, I am glad that Ade will be back, but we really need to find a 4th corner, now that we have Smoot, Springs, and Rogers, we just need one more man who can cover. No harm meant to Jimoh, but coverage is not his forte.
