GMScud 06-18-2007, 01:04 AM I can see all 6 making it. We need the rotation. And Jimoh is our best special teams player.
If all 6 make it, we're going to have to go with 9 O-lineman or 4 safeties, because I can tell you right now that we're going to have 5 RB's. Cartwright is too valuable on teams, Sellers is just the man, and we need Blaylock when (not IF, but WHEN) Portis and/or Betts gets dinged up. I can't see any position other than OL or S where we can afford to be light a player.
RMSkins 06-18-2007, 01:04 AM Yeah, I'd rather see Jimoh make it over Butler. He's more durable, great on special teams, and he's been a part of the organization for a while now. Butler hasn't done diddly poo in this league for 2 years and is injury prone, which is exactly what we DO NOT NEED in our secondary after last year's debacle. I think I'd rather have Dallas Sartz make the team over Khary Campbell too, just based on potential.
Yeah what we DO NOT NEED in our secondary is Ade Jimoh getting burnt everytime he his in there, and also getting costly penalties by running his mouth. Yes Ade is a great special teams player, and he has been with this organiztion for awhile, but what does that count for? Simply put we are screwed if Ade Jimoh has to come in and play CB. You're right Butler hasn't done anything in the NFL the last two years, but we know that there is still the potential for him to return to form and be a starting caliber cornerback in the league, what other team can say that about their fifth string CB? Although I really like Ade he is just simply a Special teams player, and they're a dime a dozen. This was my logic in Butler making the team over Jimoh.

I would rather go with the 9 offensive lineman. I just happen to like Ade. Everytime we needed a big play on special teams in 05 he made it by hitting someone or forcing a fumble. And in 2006 as well against the Panthers on Steve Smith.

Letting Jimoh go would probably ruffle a few feathers in the locker room. He's a proven, durable contributor and veteran Redskin. He knows our special teams and D in and out. If we cut him in favor of Butler, it would be on a lesser level a similar mistake to ones we've made in the past. Letting proven vets go in favor of a flashier free-agent. Jimoh in, Butler out IMO. And I agree, 9 O-lineman, put the 10th guy on the practice squad in case of injury.

I agree, I think it would upset some players. I really like Jimoh, and I hope they find a way to keep him, but Butler's potential is just to much to part with, I think we can agree that IF Butler returns to form he is the much better CB, and that is what I am looking at.

I say get rid of Doughty before Jimoh. Don't care if he plays Safety.

But special teams is a 1/3 of the game, and Jimoh's contributions in that department are undeniable. So as I said before, to keep Butler and Jimoh, we'd need to lose an O-lineman.

either that or reed doughty

Doughty is another good special teamer, and after seeing how sick his kid is, I just can't hope for his release.

It hurts me to type it but he would have to be the first choice in the eyes of the coaches right now I would think.
