Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

I am putting together a campaign to petition Redskins Managment to bring back the heart and soul of the Redskins team - THE ADE.

I think we can all agree that there was a dark cloud over the team last year when THE ADE was traded to the Bears for undisclosed monetary/giftcard concessions. Week by week, we saw the effects: special teams was flat, Santana was dropping passes, Campbell got injured, our O-Line was in the infirmary, the gatorade tasted watered down, and so on.

There is no disputing the facts: Our defense was 72% more efficient with THE ADE, teamwork was up 120% with THE ADE, morale was was raised from "orange" status to "green, and we witnessed all time highs in overall approval ratings. (Disclaimer - percentages are +/- 3%).

Let's not beat ourselves up. Coach Gibbs made a bad decision to let THE ADE go, and he has been since fired for his poor decision-making. Coach Williams would have taken over as head coach if not for his role in letting THE ADE get away. I think those responsible have been taken care of and it is time to rectify the situation.

Do your part by emailing the following to our Outstanding new Exective Vice President of Football Operations at [email]vcerrato@redskins.com[/email]:

Dear Mr. Cerrato,

I, __(Your Name)__________, hereby declare my unquestioned support and devotion to THE ADE. For the good of the team, the fans, the Redskins' legacy and mankind, I respectfully demand that you resign THE ADE to the team, effective immediately. Money is no question, as the success of the upcoming season and future of the franchise hangs in the balance.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Do the right thing!

Sincerely,
(Your Name again)

If Ade Jimoh had recovered the kickoff up in Seattle instead of Anthony Mix it would have counted as a touchdown.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

Ade contributed to special teams well. He did not, however, step in at CB well. He wasnt standout on special teams and therefore expendable. Thrash, Mix, Altbright, et all... stood out a little more and Jimoh was the odd man out. Perhaps this thread was a joke, but I just cannot see last seasons woes being blamed on the lack of a CB who never started.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

If you really think Thrash lately was a better special teamer than Ade, I think you're nuts. Ade seemed to make half the special team tackles.

That said, I think a lot of people here don't understand "Ade Jimoh Fan Club" yet.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

No, I am taking a stand against players that will not develop into solid backups or full time starters. He is a great special teamer. So what, he can't cover a Rod Gardner type runnig a 6 route.

With that being said the "Red snapper" needs to go too.

Whoa whoa whoa don't mess with the red snapper, have you read his letter to John Madden? Unless you want to find various red pubes in your cereal for the rest of your life you should probably retract that statement.

You're joking right? The last thing we need to do is get rid of one of the most consistent performers we have had over the last few years.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

before we send the petition we should change it to re-sign rather than resign :)

you always have funny posts man

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

Sorry guys I was trolling just now. Talk about an explosion of emotion. That gave me a good laugh though.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

I vote yes for Ade. Vet minimum and a Santana Moss autographed jersey.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

too funny!

where is the Ade these days? did he really get picked up by the bears?

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

Yeah he was signed, cut, signed, cut, signed by the Bears

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

It is great to see this wonderful support for THE ADE. SC brings up a good point, THE ADE would have won us the Super Bowl last year (I'm paraphrasing...).

For those wondering... THE ADE was signed by the Bears last year. They felt that he was the one, and only, threat to their return man, Devin Hester - and if you can't beat 'em, then secretely pay the Redskins shares of Six Flags stock to keep him from defusing your primary weapon.

By the way, don't let Mr. SmootSmack fool you, he is scared because he knows if the Redskins get THE ADE back, Smoot will obviously be cut and then he'll have to change his user name to a lengthy acronym that will carefully describe Smoot leaving the team, throwing a party with hookers on a boat, coming back to the team and then being cut. Something like: SLTTTAPWHOABCBTTTATBC.

That was funny, but Smoot wil not be let go of again. Not for a while anyway.

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the CB, ADE.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
ADE. (Ade, Ade)
Talkin' 'bout Jimoh. (Ade)

No, you got it right. That is precisely what I meant.

Touchdown = beat Seattle = beat down of Dallas (and New York Giants loss at Green Bay in the snow) = Redskins defeat of very cold Brett Favre (put some more hand warmers in your ski mask Brett) = payback against New England and reaping the rewards from the football gods instead of that benefit going to the Giants. It's all pretty straight forward really.

Go me for jumping the gun and looking like a complete ASS :woot:!!!!!!

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

You do know "April Fools" was like 18.....wait, 19 days ago.....right. Talk about belated. but if this is what sarcastic humor is supposed to be about how about we bring back someone just as talented on the offensive side of the ball.....Lloyd. LOL.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

lloyd's initial capital requirement was quite large and the dividends small... so very, very small, not to mention to ensuing downwards spiral of the team unity exchange... i mean, if you're going to fawn for a crappy player, at least make sure they're going to be paid like a crappy player.

and the ade isn't just a terrible CB, he's OUR terrible CB. he gives me hope that one day i might be out there giving up touchdowns and falling for double moves in a redskins uniform. you can't put a price on hope, especially when it comes so cheaply.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

3rd string QB?

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

dude, i'm willing to kick in a few bucks to buy some of these people a SENSE of HUMOR

Fer real, though, where do these people come from?

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

"ooooh noooo its ADE Jimooooooh" - My response everytime I saw him step on the field.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

He was good on special teams...but as for CB we needed an upgrade. The skins can't afford to carry a CB on the roster who can't play just to have him on special teams.

You just need to give him a chance. He's Patrick Ramsey-esque in his potential abilities.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

he's potentially the best CB... on an 0-16 team. really his employment status has no impact on the team, unless they decide to put him on the field :/.

still, signing him would "keep hope alive."

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

This cant be serious

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

I just am amazed Ade got his own thread. I would think you'd have to have some talent and or credible playing time for this kind of treatment.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

Jimoh is the new Skip Hicks. Looks good on paper, but never really did anything at all.

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

Does anyone remember that picture of him they had on Redskins.com when he was cut...he looked so defeated, it actually made me a little sad...hahah

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

Thanks for your support everyone. I talked with Vinny today and he said we're just 15 signatures short of getting THE ADE back. So, if you haven't already sent in an email - do it TODAY!

Stuck in TX, since you're not gullible at all, you get to vote twice.

Thanks!
THE ADE

Re: Resign The Ade Jimoh - Official Petition Thread
 

While we are at it, why not bring back kenny wright. Come on, he was nothing more than an average special teams player and really a terrible corner back. He was burnt toast everytime.

Mariah Carey,

I couldn't agree more about Kenny W. THE ADE, on the other hand, gets a bad rep for being a bad CB, but I would challenge you to find one example of how THE ADE got burned on a play, that Champ Bailey or Smoot or Springs wouldn't have also been burnt. Do you remember the play two years ago against the Cardinals where THE ADE flattened out Larry Fitzgerald on the key play of the game? Didn't look too shabby on that play... (Anyone got the clip?)

By the way, you were great on American Idol the other night!
