Everyone's favorite DB!

Well, I know we've been talking quite a bit about Sean Taylor, but we know he'll come to play and that he's going to own seriously. However, is our fan favorite, MR ADE JIMOH in trouble, Joe? I met you at training camp, you were behind the line, work with Ade some. He's really gotta make the squad, I'd be devestated if he's not at least practice squad.

I also wanna know, where can I purchase #23 JIMOH. I would be the talk of the town! I wanna know about Ade Jimoh. I saw that bum Rashad Bauman getting a lot of plays in on the first day of camp, where was #23!

I would say that you will have to have # 23 custom made. Try going to nfl.com and see if you can do it there. I got a catalog this from there and had where you could do that.

Yea it woudl be cool to have him stick around, solely for conversational purposes.

You know what? Ade really looks like he has a legitimate shot at making the roster, not just the practice squad, and he could play a significant role in the nickel and dime packages this year. Behind Smoot and Springs, I would rank the other corners:

3. Bauman
4. Jimoh
5. Wilds
6. Ralph Brown
7. Rufus Brown
8. Michael Hall
9. Ryan Clark

The jury is clearly out on Walt Harris, as he has been unable to practice. An interesting thing to remember about him, though, is that he was signed to a contract that was conditional upon him making a full recovery from his knee surgery. If he isn't cleared to play by the last round of roster cuts, he could very well be released, and I don't think it would have any negative cap implications.

We still have to see these guys play through the rest of camp and the preseason games, but I would put good money on Jimoh and Wilds still being there when the dust settles on the final roster in September. Both of those guys look like they could turn into very good corners with the coaching that's available to them now. They've looked pretty good in practice so far.

Alright Joe! Giving my boy Ade some love - man I'm gonna get emotional....

I haven't been there - but from reading your reports from training camp - it looks like Ade's been playing some solid football.

Nowhere to go but up!

If anyone is still interested in an Ade Jimoh jersey - I've got got a collection of about 30 at my house - one for each day of the month. Nevermind, I couldn't part with any of them...

Ade, you make me laugh, out loud! I think it is funny how last year's burnt toast has:

a. Remained on the Team
b. Remained on the Field
c. Remained in TC
d. Remained in the mix for back-up!
e. Surprised coaches and fans
f. Remained as your Forum Handle!

It has caused all of us to look more closely at this unhearalded FA, and appreciate even more the fact that he is still able to get paid by the Redskins!

All of us would like a shot at such a "Toasty" job!

My hat's off to you sir! However, I'm not taking my shirt off, because apparently you don't need it!

Ade Jimoh may have been the worst corner in the league last season, but I have to admit he's a bit of a sentimental favorite of mine also. I saw some interviews with him on Comcast Sportsnet and thought he seemed like a very bright and personable guy. People like that are good guys to have on a team that needs to come together. With as many new players as the Skins have, I think I'd like to see Jimoh on the team next season.

Dave Butz Baby! · 08-06-2004, 11:02 AM

Yeah, Joe...

You definitely need to give him some love from us next time you get a chance to! When I was at camp Wednesday, his was the only autograph I was really after. Got shut out, though.

Ade/Smoot '04, Baby!

Winskins · 08-06-2004, 05:50 PM

I can confirm that Ade has been looking pretty sharp out there. He's no Smoot out there or anything, but I definitely see him putting in effort and making plays out there.

I'll be sure to get his autograph tomorrow during fan appreciation day and tell him how much he's loved over here at the Warpath!!!
