The only way Jacobs will get consistent looks is when the playcall actually designates him as the primary or secondary option. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen, because Moss and Cooley will ALWAYS be the primary and secondary option in virtually any pass play the Redskins call.
That said, it's up to Jacobs to prove he's worthy of being even a third option on any play, and he really hasn't done that. Heck, at this point, Ladell Betts and Mike Sellers have proven themselves as better passing options than Jacobs.
Time for the Skins to pick up a real #2 receiver in the offseason.

We did his name is Patten, and he was doing basically what Jacobs has done, nothing! That is why I can't blame Jacobs as of yet, Brunell has a 1 track mind, and you hit it JC, he looks Moss first, then Cooley, if neither are open he either throws it away, or dump's it to a back, I do not believe that if Gibbs made him a primary reciever in one of his game plans, that he wouldn't respond. Jacob's can't control the ball being thrown to him.
The question is, is he getting open? If he is then he's doing his job, Daseal attended a game and sad Jacob's was getting open, but Brunell never gave the guy the time of day. Has anyone else attended games and seen the same thing? It's not an observation that can made watching the game on TV.
