Jamaal Anderson; just hear me out

[supercowboy8]

Jamaal Anderson, Age: 25; 6'6" 290 pounds
Jamaal Anderson can't get to the quarterback, but is an excellent run defender. I think he could be a really good 5-technique in the 3-4 and shouldn't cost alot.

I'm not saying give him big money, if you can get him cheap why not give him a shot.

The D Line is already loaded with JAGs.

Does JAG mean guys that aren't Pro-Bowlers?

Alright I'm gonna ask a silly question right now. In all my years of playin football and watching, I never heard the term JAG, yet I see it atleast 10 times everytime I log in here. So someone fill me in.

edit: my first instinct was "just average guys"..thanks for that

And as far as Anderson goes, yes if he comes cheap why not?

Yeah I still am trying to understand what a JAG is. It seems to be 'player that I don't like.'

And jobber I know what the acronym means but the usage is pretty much used for all kinds of players.

 

[The Natural]

I thought I was the only one who was out of the loop

 

[Illini88228]

They're going to need bodies along the line, definitely not the worst idea i've seen floated around here recently.

 

[cbow44]

if we have the room bring him in for cheap. can always cut him later. who knows maybe the lights suddenly come on.

Oh. It all makes sense now. Thanks Fuzzy.

I don't think the FO is really serious about Holland being the starter. He can't play a whole game without getting hurt, let alone a whole season.

I think the starting RG isn't on the roster right now.

We definitely need one vet safety and one vet OG to fill out the roster.

 

[landroverking]

I think it was big Bill that coined it.

 

[Hostile]

Is he available?

Yeah, but sometimes a JAG can turn into a pro-bowler....depends how an on who you use the term on. Doesn't happen often, but you never know.

I'm sure even though people see potential in a player, they still may be called a JAG by some people.

Tony Romo, Miles Austin. Seen something there, but took a while and somrting else to happen for them to stick around.

Romo may have very likely would have been cut if not for Quincy Carter failing a drug test. Austin looked good until Roy Williams was injured then he had to start, and never looked back.

If those 2 things didn't happen, would we still have those playes. Maybe but maybe not.

so JAG's or not on a few players.

Nothing wrong what you call a JAG -- you can't have probowl players at every spot

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

People who use the term "JAG" listen to far too much Randy Galloway and it explains why you guys have the opinions you do.

 

[dwmyers]

Is he available?

Was cut by the Falcons, AFAIK.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

That's freakish size. 6'6 290. He's never fulfilled his potential but maybe a change of scenery and a new defense can do that for him?

Maybe playing next to Ware and Ratliff can give revitalize his career

 

[InmanRoshi]

I've long thought he could re-invent his career as 3-4 two gapper. Reportedly he's was great against the run for Atlanta, but it's just hard to keep a DE on the field in the 4-3 when he brings absolutely nothing as a pass rusher. Especially when he's making Top 10 draft pick money. I would absolutely take a flier on him. He's still just 25.
