Pass coverage is just something he does not excel in.

Tell him to put on 15 pds and play OLB!

Agreed, adding either Jenkins or someone like Mack will be important regardless of what happens with the draft.

Harper is a good in-the-box strong safety, who excels in the areas that this type of a player should excel in - I can't remember too many occasions when he has been burned because of the mental side of his game.

Harper's worth is dependent on Ryan, his scheme, and whether or not Harper can fit the role of the SS going forward. If he isn't a good fit, they'll probably look to cut ties with him one way or the other. But if he seems like a fit, they'll probably just keep hold of him while maybe trying to do something with his contract to make him more releasable/tradable in the future.

Harper is arguably above average in pass coverage when it comes to flats, which is what his type of a SS is expected to be - he is not a FS or a CB.

If only it would be that simple.

I so not believe in "due to bounce back".

Either there is a logical reason he should play better this season or he is not worth trying to get.

Mike Jenkins?
Height: 5-10 Weight: 198 Age: 28
career high year 2009
5 Ints 19 PD 44 tackles
2010 - 2012 nothing impressive stats wise

"due to bounce back" lmao he has been trying for three years. I am not a big fan of his play. we got the ex cowgirl i wanted. min salary offer

dizzle88 · 04-06-2013, 08:15 AM

no!!! Dont want this guy at all

The last thing we want is another undersized patrick robinson clone in our secondary, weve already got one and thats enough

mikesaintfan · 04-06-2013, 09:18 AM

Harper will be traded to the Titans for a kicking tee and 3 water bottles

westbankdaze · 04-06-2013, 09:29 AM

**** NO. He is absolutely terrible !!!!! Please God no - my worst nightmare is coming true , we are morphing into the cowboys!!!!! Jenkins is the guy that literally gave up on plays during in his time with cowboys.

The Titans (Gregg Williams) don't need him now that they signed Pollard who is pretty much the same type of safety Harper is.

This article is crap. The title is stupid **** misleading and it just goes downhill from there. There are a whole bunch of shoulds and coulds and absolutely nothing that says anyone on the coaching staff or in the front office has even mentioned his name, much less are actually "targeting" him. On top of that, coveting Tracy Porter? Really? Another dropout from the Dick King School of Sports Hackery.
