He may be better suited as a SS as his coverage skills are better than Harper in man cover, he supports the run decently and does have a nose for dislodging the ball. He hasn't proven himself as adept a pass rusher as Harper but it could only be lack of opportunity.

Frankly, if we were somehow able to upgrade FS with a better ballhawk, I could see Jenkins at SS and Harper re-signed for cheaper as both depth as well as in big nickel schemes or even as a flat out speed mismatch double edge rush. Kind of a hybrid safety position in lieu of a OLB in passing downs.

And M. Jenkins is better at strong safety and trade Harper or cut him he's garbage in coverage and that's what Ryan's D needs since they have OLB to blitz
Come On I'm more worried about safety than LT cause they'll draft T. Armstead

Harper is not slow. Too many football noobs point to that Bradford run down, but its obvious that Harper ran out of gas on that play. Don't confuse speed with stamina. Harper was gassed.

Vincent Jackson ran out of gas too. On any day of the week Vincent Jackson beats Malcolm Jenkins by 10 yards on a 100 yard sprint.

Harper has decent speed, especially for a STRONG Safety. Jenkins has average CB speed, and above average FS speed.

First of all, those 40 times average out to a 4.50. It's still not fast. I don't care what you say, or how you try to turn it around. A 4.50 is not fast for a supposed cornerback. It's a decent speed, for a FS, but it's still not even fast for that position. .

Usain Bolt have a slow 40 but no one can pass him in the 100 meter. They need to change the 40x to 100 meters. The avg qb can throw 55 to 65 yards

Well for one example the Dallas game where he ran down Roy Williams and forced the game winning fumble on what would have been a sure TD.
