And with that, Spurrier's a Memory

Get on the truck son. We're headed for the belt factory.

Taylor Jacobs has been traded to the 49ers for Mike Rumph. Jacobs is the last vestige of Steve Spurrier's Gator Way. In his two year trainwreck with the Redskins, he cycled Danny Wuerffel, Reidel Anthony, Jacquez Green and Taylor Jacobs, through the roster, all his former players. Steve believed His Way could win at any level, just needed the ball players. None of them stuck as everyday NFL players. Wuerffel can't even hold the football without a glove on.

Now Jacobs is gone, a disappointment over three seasons. Spurrier drafted him in April 2003, and was gone from the Skins by December, phoning in his resignation from the golf course. Jacobs had a chance to make it with the team, appearing in 15 games each of the last two seasons under Gibbs. But he never clicked, and was just...there.

He was traded for Mike Rumph, a 5th year man with a history of injury. Basically a ham sandwich. I'll eat that ham sandwich if Rumph surprises me.
