-Jenkins was hurt.
-Short offseason, new system
-He's expected to be a backup, not a starter
-It's the second game of the preseason.
-The sky is not falling.

FA. It appears all 32 front offices don't feel the need to add him just yet.

It was just 1 game, but it was ugly.

The guy started 1/2 the season for the number 1 defense in the NFL.

It may be he's still adjusting to our system and was out of position.

I think GW will take a longer look at him these next two games. If you don't see him getting a lot of playing time, he's likely already gone.

He supposedly has great versatility... able to play both safety spots and CB as well, but I guess that doesn't matter if you can't perform up to par in any of them... still optimistic about him despite the last game.

Good points, but he did get faked out of his jock...

Man, that's one clip I bet he'd like burned...
