With Patten, Moss, and Thrash secured, and Antonio Brown seemingly locking up the main kick and punt returner spot, it meant a choice between Dyson, Jacobs and McCants. Based solely on their performances as Redskins, McCants has by far the most production.

You have to give the nod to the coaches using their best judgement, but I don't like the move.

My sentiments exactly. Gibbs is waiting patiently for Jacobs to heal while McCants is cut and possibly could land a third wideout spot after its all over with. What I didn't like about Gibbs's remarks about McCants was first he compared McCants to Art Monk, then all of a sudden McCants is inactive for all but five games and Gibbs says McCants got lost in his lack of special teams play. Well, as far as I can recall Art Monk never played on special teams. Taylor Jacobs to me is like Cliff Russell, who Gibbs cut last year. A lot of potential, but never healthy enough to even get through preseason. Some guys are not built to endure a serious work regiment and it shows. Lastly, Gibbs said he wanted guys who could play through their injuries, but hell McCants was there and looked good in preseason last year catching a TD from Brunell and where was Jacobs. Injured.
