Malcolm Jenkins=Jason David

skymike · 12-21-2009, 06:12 PM

For those you complaining about the worthiness of this thread, I believe we can write General Mills, enclose 2 proof of purchase seals, and request a full refund. Huh?

Oh wait, you're not getting paid to read this stuff---- I forgot. my bad.
So lets all find reasons to smile. Here, hold hands now and sing Seasons in the Sun. "We have joy we have fun....

Dont take me too seriously.

Ok, I disagree about Jenkins = Jason David, Poydras, but I wont challenge your English Lit background or emotional stability. I just disagree. I'm not even sure you were asserting anything, but possibly raising a question, or discussion point--- which is why I dont believe in telling anyone their thread is this or that.*** Its a question that can be asked, and I think "naaa," Jenkins will be just fine. All questions are alright with me.

I dont believe in the team goat concept, unless its a kicker. If the guy we believe is singlehandely holding us back is so bad, then why dont we replace him with another guy who came to training camp? Because he beat that guy out. I've seen team goats from Dave Waymer to Freddie Thomas to Jason David, and even Reggie--- who scores more TD's than anyone else besides Drew. We were convinced in 1984 that we would be in the Super Bowl for sure, if we just got rid of that damn Johnnie Poe. We also thought Ken Stabler was a savior. Some people think light bulbs & cow farts are heating up the World.

As for Jenkins speed, I think his mental grasp of the game will close most of the gaps. You're just not going to play corner and not get burned, as any WR can blow by the secondary on any given play. But I believe if his speed really was so suspect, the ball would be coming his way every play he plays, and its not. I think we would have seen such shortcoming well before week 15.

I've been wrong before, but I'm rather excited to see what kind of game MJ will bring after a little more experience.

*** Bear in mind, I have a thread entitled All I Have to Say is WOOOOO!," which offers zero insight or analysis--- BFD!

Jenkins is definitely getting caught out of position and a couple of bad throws by opposing quarterbacks has kept this from getting exposed till now...

Was Jenkins a good pick?...yes

Could we have used more of an impact at say Defensive Tackle or Defensive End?...sure...

But he's a Saint, one of our Saints...even if he was a Buckeye which makes him a tad slow ; ); he's made some plays, including special teams that have been big plays to date...

Jenkins was projected by many to play his career at Free Safety (the guy we have there now is not doing too too badly); so he's doing well contributing where there's a spot...

We have fair defensive depth with the exception of Strong Safety (we need a starter) and Defensive Tackle (same) and Defensive End (same)...

But the question is fair, but if you're going to blame...

I blame the Executive of the Year for not signing enough Defensive Tackles...

So what are you saying, exactly? That the Saints dont have a chance now?

They lost 1 game. If you'd told ANY, and i mean ANY Saints fan in August that their team would be 13-1 at this point, they'd have been thrilled to death.

Yes, you are right, they got their butts kicked, but even despite everything going wrong, they still had a realistic chance of driving down and getting a tied score with 2 minutes left. There's something to be said for the continued fight they showed.

Man, old times. This is like an Aaron Brooks thread but with better avatars...

It may very well be that MJ ends up at FS in the long run. With Porter and Greer locking down the CB positions, that doesn't seem like a bad thing, especially with Sharper getting long in the tooth.

In any event, he has a ton of positive attributes, not the least of which appear to be intelligence and character. The man has made some great plays, and I look forward to seeing him mature.

Jenkins is fine. You can see he has "juice" as Gruden calls it. He is a safety. His hips are stiff, it's not his speed because the guy can flat out fly. We are playing him until Greer comes back and Porter is back in fully. He will be the FS after Shaper leaves.
