Make room for me on the bandwagon too Matty.

I've been a fan of Jacobs ever since we stole him in the second round (hasn't looked like a steal yet, but give it one more year). I'm just glad that it finally looks like he's going to get a chance to prove himself this year.

And as with most WRs: Third Year's a Charm. Make us proud TJ.:biggthump

Big time break-out for Jacobs in my eyes. You guys know what I'm always preaching about WRs needing three years, so I'll spare you.

But hey, this is his 3rd year!

Gibbs formations are based on protection, so I doubt we will ever see a 5 WR set & dump off to Cooley.
What I'm looking for is Jacobs, Patton(slot), & Moss/Mccants lined up with Cooley at H-back, Portis in the backfield, someone at TE cuz I'm still not sure who I like at that position.
I'm thinking Gibbs wants to play smash-mouth football. I would think Gibbs will want to wear down the 'D' beating them up with a strong ground attack & punish them with dump offs & out pattern when the LB's bite hard on p/a.

Of course this is just my opinion based on years of game film I watched of the Gibbs Era.

I've been saying all along that I expect Jacobs to breakout this year. I really hope he does. Hopefully that can kinda ease that pain we all had when we passed on Mike Williams. Jacobs was very productive in Florida, so he can definitely play at a high level.

This would make 7 skill position players on the field at once, which is impossible. 3 WRs, 1 HB, 1 RB, 1 TE, and 1 QB. I think you'll usually see Gibbs keep an H-Back on the field, along with a TE, and typically only 2 WRs on the field. That's his smash-mouth style. I'd expect the WRs to be Moss & Patten, though if Jacobs has a good camp, maybe he can beat out Patten. Jacobs should get a good amount of play in 3-WR sets, but Gibbs generally likes a TE/HB/RB/2WR set over a HB/RB/3WR set.

I hope it is.. Gibbs knows how to find a diamond in the rough, not that Taylor Jacobs came out unheralded, but he was regarded as a bust, and Gibbs gave him a second look.

Dude - get a clue. One, we drafted him because he was by far the best player available. Set to be a first round pick and a good starting receiver, but got the flu for the combine, and obviously, put up bad numbers which dropped him. I mean, Gibbs really had to fish in the 2nd round and scout his ass off to figure out who this kid was... Oh! Oops! That's right, Spurrier drafted him, everyone around the draft knew him, knew he put up big numbers in college, and was said to be a playmaker coming out of college.

Spurrier would have used him a lot more had it not been for freak injuries and I know a lot of people on this board have been high on Jacobs for a long time. Not to mention, I feel it takes 4 years till you can call someone a bust.

I think everyone or most everyone here on this board can agree that we're all behind Taylor Jacobs 100%! I know there are many if's concerning our receivers right now, but IF Jacobs can prove this year that he was steal in the second round, and Moss stays healthy this year, I think our receiver corp will be okay.

I hear ya... I was thinking the TE was only going to be inserted on these plays as an addl blocker or decoy. With 3 WR's you get to stretch the D in depth, but with Portis in the backfield you have to keep the LB's honest.

Gibbs will need to experiment a bit with his formations this season if he's going to produce better offensive numbers. Last season the offense was too simplified & the defenses picked up it really quick & shut it down.

that is true. moss will be #1, jacobs #2, and patten #3.

Jacobs was Spurriers boy. It's not like he has been injured constantly the past 2 years...Spurrier just wanted him riding the bench for a while.
