How this team can cut a player like Ifeanyi Ohalete and still keep a player like Ade Jimoh?

Just wondering.....

I thought Ade is a good as gone, but I think our depth at CB is questionable right now with a couple players nicked up.

Justice Hog, I just dont know sometimes, every time the skins get a player i really like Kalu, Barber, Trent not Ohalete...they just let them go.

You know, that's a good question. Jimoh always seems to mess something up.

Don't worry, that one is coming too. They are just waiting to see how Walt Harris plays. It is strictly for depth. As soon as we see how he does, Ade is gone.

All Harris has to do is play ok and not get burned, and Iffy is gone.

Well...in my opinion...to provide "depth" at a particular position, you have to actually play well enough at that position to be relied upon.

Jimoh sucks big time. He's a waste of a roster spot, in my opinion. I would have rather kept Ohalete and try moving him to 5th string CB than keep Jimoh!

Then again, if Ohalete had a bad attitude in the locker room, I can see the reason why he was kicked to the curb.

3 INT's each of the last 2 years
103 Tackles last year 5 passes defensed

Justice Hog asked the question:

How this team can cut a player like Ifeanyi Ohalete

In a different thread concerning this very thing, oafusp posted an article where Iffy himself admitted that he wasn't seeing "eye to eye" with Steve Jackson and was not using the techniques he wanted him to employ. But the move surprised me too.

Jeff Rhodes · Post by **Jeff Rhodes** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 12:17 pm

Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but in my book a player of Ohalete's modest-at-best accomplishments not seeing eye-to-eye with his coaches just isn't an option.

I don't know much about Steve Jackson, but I know a little about Gregg Williams and a lot about Joe Gibbs, and when those guys tell you to change what you're doing, you might want to think about listening.

I think Iffy and Winey got the same message on the same day.

LOL that is a good question. It sounds like Iffy and the coaches had a falling out. Iffy has the talent to make this roster no doubt.

Jimoh on the other hand wouldnt even make the team here at WVU

They released Iffy now since he is a vet and has a chance to catch on with another club.

Jimoh, on the other hand, sucks arse and wont make it any where else so they are keeping him around as a "body" til the end of camp.

-My 2 cents

On a Gibbs coached team, poor attitude will get you cut faster than poor play.

Abe Jimoh is soon to follow, His days as a Redskin are numbered. HTTR

Yup and they went on to teams that went to playoffs. So take note. Dont be hatin.

hkHog · Post by **hkHog** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 2:05 pm

No, I agree, we've cut so many guys who are great players. Steven Davis?!?! I'm sure Iffy'll land a spot somewhere.

cvillehog · Post by **cvillehog** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 2:10 pm

We aren't the only team to cut good players. There are only 53 spots on the roster, and someone has to be cut. It ends up being the nobodies and the guys who cost too much for their level of production that get the axe.

Is he the dude with the Dread locks? He sux and constantly gettin beat. He pissed Bostic off and Bostic stated, " You know his dreads are fair game and can be grabbed."

cj17 · Post by **cj17** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 3:42 pm

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's keep thinking clear. Trent Green, Shawn Barber, Stephen Davis, N.D. Kalu...these players weren't CUT. They were free agents, and weren't resigned. That is what is known as a "big difference." Iffy is a boderline Arena League talent...in short, he's awful. I'm surprised he didn't injure his neck Saturday night watching the WR's blow past him. No tears are shed, nothing is lost with his abscence. The only reason he started anyway was because of the Mark Carrier disaster. Now...time for Matt Bowen to be next....what a pathetic secondary (save for young Mr. Taylor).

don't worry Justice Hog .... Ade will be gone soon ...... very soon

DEHog · Post by **DEHog** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 8:32 pm

I think Iffy forced this one... he probaly asked if he was in the plans for this year and was told at best he'd be a ST player. He knows he may be able to start elsewhere so he more than likely asked to be released now so he can catch on with another team.

Do you think money has a lot to do with it? We'd all expect Jimoh to get cut anyway, but let's just say that having Iffy or Jimoh around are about equal value to Gibbs (attitudes perhaps, and skills, etc.). My guess is that, worst case scenario, it's much better to be paying 150k than 950k for a player that you value just as much as the other.
