If You Had to Cut One
 

If you had to pick one player from this poll, and only one player, to cut, who would it be?

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Close call between Taylor and Nemo, but I went Taylor. I still think he will have a nice impact for our team at some point this season.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Toss up between Taylor and Ade, and I went with Ade. Although I'm not really sure now. Ade at least contributed on specials, where Taylor hasent contributed at all, but I still think you have to wait out this season before you show him the door.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson has shown the least of all these choices.

The Ade is solid on teams, and it's too early to pull the plug on Jacobs.

Rock and Nemo have both played hard this preseason, I'd like to see them both make the team. They've really battled for a spot.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Gosh, I hope it doesn't come down to a choice between that group of guys. Because if it does I have to cut Rock, which would really suck. Hopefully there will be a way to keep all 5, because they all bring value in some phase of the game.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

I picked Dyson, he hasn't done shit. Ade is a good teams guy and I would be surprised if they release him. The others I think will still be around maybe Cartwright.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

I picked Dyson, but I can't believe the Ade isn't running away with this.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson. We need depth in the secondary, Jacobs is still young with upside, rock and nemo both played extremely well.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson sucks my ass. What has he done?

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson IMO because we haven't seen enough of him. It's not like he came off a couple big seasons and then was hurt in camp, he's kind of a question mark coming in, and remains a question mark.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

I would cut Nemo and put him on the practice squad this year. I see him as the least likely to contribute this year, but he is a perfect guy to stick on the practice squad to reevaluate next summer.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson all the way. Everybody else contributes in one way or another. Ade is a beast on special teams, Rock is a good teams player, Nemo is a decent short yardage back, and Jacobs is a solid special teams player. Dyson is the odd man out.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

If there's anyone on our roster that historically is MORE injury-prone than Jacobs it's Dyson.. Let him go, at least Jacobs has upside potential.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

very close call between dyson and jimoh, but with dyson the heart just doesn't seem to be there from what has been seen so far from my point of view.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

What has dyson shown anyway other than he is taller than our other receivers. Wow! A tall pile of sh*t is still a pile of sh*t!!

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

How Jimoh ever makes it on the field on defense is one of those great unsolved mysteries of the Redskins universe, but he plays teams and he plays hard. If we kept a tall reciever it should have been Darnerian. Dyson goes and somehow we gotta keep Rock! He has been awesome this preseason. Talk about earning a place on the team. Maybe we should put Nemo and Rock both in on the goaline. Some sort of "old school" Y or T formation. That would confuse somebody.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

keep jimoh, he plays special teams. cut mr. music city miracle, what has he done for us.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson. He doesn't play special teams. :oink:

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

dyson, i mean, the ade really sucks, but at least he's OUR crappy player, and not someone else's used junk.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

If I had to cut one, I'd probably do it when no one was around.

That way no one could smell it but me.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson is the odd man out. We haven't seen much of him, but we haven't seen Jacobs at all. But Jacobs is younger, faster, he's been around the organization for a few years, and if healthy could some day work himself into the starting line-up.

I don't see Nemo or Rock going to the practice squad. So they keep both.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Dyson.....

I like the Rock and Nemo......

Ade-special teams demon.......

Taylor......I still want to see him healthy and see him play in a more open offense before I reserve judgement he has potetional but haven't seen his full capabilities......

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

dyson stinks and old

I don't think I've ever heard The Ade described more appropriately, "at least he's OUR crappy player"...I like that

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Well, I voted for Dyson too. Through three preseason games he's done exactly squat.

But Taylor Jacobs is right behind him -- he's the next guy I cut. Maybe if he doesn't scrape his knee or get a mosquito bite we'll get to see him play at SOME point this season.

Nemo seems a little rough around the edges. He's headed to the practice squad. Cartwright probably isn't the answer as a short yardage back, but he's developing into a solid receiver out of the backfield and probably makes it as the 3rd running back.

Ade Jimoh is the Matt Stevens of a few years back ... All you ever see is him getting beaten, but somehow, he slips past the final roster cuts year after year. It's a mystery.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Gotta go with Dyson. He hasn't shown much except that he's taller than the other WR's. It appears that if/when they want bigger receiving targets, they'll just throw to the H-backs and TE's. Rock and Ade are great on teams and Broughton will be great on short yardage, although he still may go on the PS this year. Jacobs has one more year to prove he can be valuable on the field...if not he's gone.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

I'm not going to talk about shit about Jacobs because I'll be itching to see the people who change their tune if/when he comes back and lights it up.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

i cant believe a couple guys said NEMO, lol, we finally get a guy who can punch it in on third and shorts and goaline and people want to cut him already. keep him in short yardage only and he will be great for us, and the playaction passes will be great in short yardage with nemo in the game. i just see with nemo in the game, cooley will benefit on goaline situations even more. you know most teams will see nemo and start to stack while cooley slips into the flat one on one.

oh btw, i picked ade, dyson maybe a tall POS, but if you throw to a tall POS and it hits the top of it... would it have touched the short POS at all? and im sure dyson has more career catches that tall pieces of shit combined. shit dont catch ANYTHING but flies and maggots and maybe someones shoe sole every now and then. :headbange

I don't get it either. Especially with how promising he's looked this preseason.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

Nemo's had a problem holding onto the ball a couple of times. Fumbling will get you on Joe Gibbs excrement list pretty darn fast.

You know we talk about him always being injured,(rightfully so, I might add) but even healthy, he never actually lit anything up. I'd have to cut him. I'd have cut him before McCants. Potential can only hold a roster spot for so long. Dyson has experience and can play adequately enough to be a strong 4th wideout. Hell he'd be a strong 3rd option. You gotta keep rock, because he's always done everything he was asked to do and done it well. Nemo, because you don't want him on any other teams. Ade would probably be #2 because the guy couldn't cover if he was made of blankets. He's a career Special Teamer.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

I'm sorry guys, but conventional thinking in the NFL doesn't have teams cutting former 2nd round picks after just two seasons because they've had some bad luck with injuries.

Jacobs has all the talent to be a very good WR. He's more talented than McCants and he's been praised for his work ethic, something that McCants will probably never receive praise for.

I guess work ethic is overrated with some people. Maybe that kind of player cut it under former coaching staffs, but not with this one. I'm putting my trust in this staff who sees these players up close and personal and knows a heck of alot more about these guys than we do.

If Jacobs is still in the same boat at this time next year, then it's time to start looking to cut the cord. But after two seasons? Definitely not.

I'd disagree that dyson would be a good #3... thrash is a good #3, jacobs COULD be a good #3, dyson is an average #4 at best.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

I think Ade has got to stay. The man hits hard on special teams and is a Gibbs type of player.

Both Rock and Nemo are very valuable in different ways. Nemo provides smashmouth on interior runs and short yardage, while Rock combines quickness, toughness, and pass catching ability.

Jacobs injuries make him a liability but I'm afraid if we release him that some other team will find him useful. Give him one more year.

Dyson does have veteran leadership, but we also get that from Patten and Thrash. He'll probably end up getting released.

Ade Must Go
 

Look Dyson is not more than roster fodder and is washed up. But playing offense, its very hard to actually give up touchdowns (unless you're Ramsey). Every time that Ade JaBlows steps onto the field, you and I and every other Skins fan is thinkt the exact same thing:

"Please don't throw it to whomever JaBlows is covering, cause that's an automatic 6."

The guy gets beat worse than a marching band drum. Heck, even good ole, 50-50, the Rod Gobbler torched him and we all know that he sucks.

And this myth that JaBlows is a good special teamer is totally false. I sit on his sideline during kick-offs and the guy always does one of four things -- get pancake blocked, leave his lane like a fool and create a hole, get a stupid penalty or over-run the returner.

I say good riddance to bad rubbish.

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

You should add Rufus Brown to that list...

Re: If You Had to Cut One
 

For some crazy reason I'll defer to our coaching staff when it comes to Jimoh.

He's managed to stick year after year.

He's obviously doing something right.
