[QUOTE=Daseal]Taylor Jacobs impressed the hell out of Gibbs in mini-camp. At least that's what I got from his interviews. I'll be shocked if Jacobs gets cut. Jacobs has better hands and speed than Scott.[/QUOTE]

The Washington Post reported today that 14 players will be cut. Don't be surprised if one is Taylor Jacobs. The paper reported what I already know about Coach Gibbs. He is notorious for keeping undrafted and low draft players. It doesn't matter how much talent a player has, this is Gibbs football. I'll call the plays that compiment that particular player's skills. I hope Scott makes it.

jacobs did play in the rams game and showed he can run and catch... the fumble was really unfortunate, but i think the guy that got him just made a good defensive play and didn't give him time to secure it... i think he's plenty safe for now...

yeah, i understand you don't like jacob's injury record, yet you see them keeping betts lol ;)
jacob's rookie year went really poorly, and that wasn't really his fault, this is basically his first year.

Oh they tried to deal Betts and Gardner away this week for Ogunleye. But Miami didn't think Betts would make the team. For obvious reasons. Let's just say Jacobs was trying out for the team for the fist time. How would you judge his performance against the Rams. On that play he made a good catch and then slowed down to avoid a tackle and forgot about the player behind him. As Gibbs said one player mentioned somewhere in the post. Dawn, that was your chance." We'll know today whose hear and whose toast.

i think he showed he can play better than gari scott ;) that other guy wasn't good enough obviously... if he cut jacobs i'd be really surprised, and i'm sure someone else would pick him up...

anyways, as you said, we'll know whose right soon enough :D.

Jacobs has barely had the chance to prove himself.

If Scott makes the team over Jacobs I'd be very, very surprised and I'll gladly admit I was wrong, but I highly doubt that will happen.

In fact I think it's more likely we'll see Scott on the first cut list.

Oh well. We won't know until tomorrow anyway.

Where does Scott Cloman and Cliff Russell fit in this equation? I've heard many speak of Russell's speed.

Did we sign Thrash or does he have to wait and see what happens? We could definitely use him on punt return.

pretty sure thrash was signed before he started working out here ;)

I really want to know where all this nonesense about cutting jacob's is coming from, the guy has been in the league 1 year, he had a potentionally life threating injury, give the guy a break, how many player's miss games due to injury? The NFL is full of productive player's who have missed time due to injury, Why did the Bill's draft MaGahee? He never did anything in the NFL, in fact he couldn't hold up in college, and never played a down last year, I think we have to calm down on the injury front, He has to be judged on his ability, if the guy has a cronic injury problem then you might look else where, but there's nothing like that here, Jacob's isn't getting cut, you can take that to the bank.

I agree offiss, don't worry I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Jacobs won't be cut.

If you're not apart of the committee making the cut, I wouldn't believe anything you took to the bank. Cliff Russell was in the same boat as Taylor Jacobs. If you know anything about Gibbs you know he's famous for keeping undrafted and low drafted players. Jacobs is trying out for a position that needs him to shine at the kickoff/punt return also. Gari Scott scored a TD against Denver's first string and returned several kickoffs with no turnovers. If I didn't know that Jacobs was a high draft pick based on his performance, he would be gozonnnnnnnnnn!

Nor did Scott Cloman and Cliff Russell have a chance to prove themselves.....
