Jacobs? Only Spurrier found value in him, not sure if any other team would also, it seems we are stuck with him.

Thrash, he is a cheap player that knows what to do. Those few punt/special teams play was the only thing posistive about the ST. Sure his role has the responsibilities of an intern but he is old, paid his dues, affordable, and really demonstrates heart. Everyone of the skins players and coaches sees his contributions . How can you not want him around? Just dont line him up as a wr, he is a special teams specialist. Theres no point to turn that responsibility over to a rookie or less exp. player. Not having to worry about being a wr maybe he will concentrate soley on ST and really make some big plays which can make a small difference and put us over.
