First of all, welcome to the Hogs.net, Gibbs4Life. Secondly, I think their will be a few things that will transpire in the coming days that might be shocking a lot of us. Judging you by your screen name, I would like to think you trust in Gibbs as much as the rest of us. He is a great evaluator for talent and sees things that we don't. If its Ade over Bauman....so be it. I'm not sweating bullets even though I too liked Bauman more.

Im in shock, I thought for sure he would be cut... Go figure.. HTTR

Me too, but he seemed to play reasonably well (for the first time ever) in the Falcon's game. I trust Gibbs and Williams, maybe they know something that we don't?

Ade Jimoh??? Made the team??? :hmm:

I trust Gibbs, BUT THIS SCARES ME! I was hoping that that poor excuse for a DB never had a chance to give up another big play! Tampa right now is finding ways to exploit this.

Hard to believe that Jimoh wasn't cut and Sultan McCullough was. McCullough played his heart out...and Jimoh got beat like a wet dish rag for the entire preseason. I hope Williams & Co. know what the heck they're doing!

Jimoh has good speed but needs to work on his technique. I trust that Williams saw enough for a spot. :twisted:

I have to believe that somebody saw something in camp and preseason that I didn't see.
"Ade Jimoh"?
That has to be an anagram. Too bad it can't be rearranged to spell "great db".

njskinsfan · Post by **njskinsfan** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 6:57 pm

I don't think it would even spell "average DB" He plays like he is lost.
He costs us a game last year against the Cowgirls and will cost us another one this year.

I must be the only person who sees some potential in Ade Jimoh. He may end up being pretty good one day.. sure he has made mistakes however Ive seen him make some pretty good plays. It is also very possible he listens and learns very well and the defensive staff feel he has lots of potential.

skinsfaninroanoke · Post by **skinsfaninroanoke** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 7:37 pm

don't forget that we still have 5 DB and 4 safeties...

Springs, Smoot, Harris, Lott, Jimoh
Bowen, Taylor, Franz, Clark

Can we Say Special Teams - maybe that was what made the difference for Ade.

skinsfaninroanoke · Post by **skinsfaninroanoke** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 7:49 pm

I believe you are right - but also keep in mind that most defenses where you see four CBs in the game is going to be a zone defense - which maybe he did better in? ::shrug:: without seeing more of the field than I do on TV I couldn't tell ya...

I do know that he was blitzing a couple of times in the preseason... maybe Williams likes him as a dime blitzer?

Ok so today I get to see the final pre-season game 4DAYS afterwards! But thank the Good Lord for NFL Network!

Ade sucks at man-to-man coverage, but has good size and speed for zone coverages.

Plus, with Andre Lott stepping it up this year, I suspect G.Williams will have Lott, Taylor and Bowen on the field together (with Smoot, Springs and Harris) on passing downs. And I imagine Wilds and Brown will be placed on the practice squad for insurance.

I just hope the team is able to hold onto Gari Scott and Jafar Williams....but, I suspect the team up in Baltimore might pick one of them up.

Gibbs take special teams very serioulsy, I'm sure that is how Jimoh made it. It has to be?

With the quality depth at safety and the speed and ability of Taylor, maybe we will see some interesting wrinkles in our nickle packages.

DEHog · Post by **DEHog** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:42 am

We keep hearing how ST can play corner...any chance when the Skins go to the nickle they bring in Lott and more ST to the 3rd CB to cover the slot WR???

skinsfaninroanoke · Post by **skinsfaninroanoke** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 2:18 pm

actually DE - according to the roster, right now they have Lott tagged as CB, not S... I was surprised when I saw that as well, but then I remembered that he played both positions, supposedly well, at Tennessee.

I think some times we will see 5 DBs, but 3 of them safeties, with one cinching up like a rover role in college - half LB, half S - who could fit that role better?

I know GW likes the blitz... so even if we come out in a dime set - I would look to see who is closing up on the Oline before the snap - he has shown he isn't afraid to throw a CB or S blitz in there ::Grin::

I don't know if I would want to be on the other side of the line from that defense - if the QB isn't getting 3-5 unharrassed seconds to throw the ball, it makes for a very long day for the whole team - AS WE know from last year. Good QB and WR don't mean squat if they can't convert... and their defense will be tired faster which leaves it open for Portis to have good second halves - longer day for the defenses then...

Meanwhile - our defense stays fresh - tell me our guys weren't still looking good after the third series against Vick... pumped, primed and ready to rock and roll...

Here's the plan

Williams, who is known for using multiple cornerbacks in his defensive schemes, doesn't believe in designating a top cornerback. Instead, Williams will generally place Smoot on the left side and Springs on the right side while occasionally basing their matchups against opposing receivers on physical attributes. In third-down passing situations, Springs switches to nickel back and Walt Harris plays right cornerback.
