Sproles, Jenkins
 

:REGRET:

They both looked good tonight against the Falcons.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Yes, they sure did.

Two more reasons to let Loomis go.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

So glad we could help the Eagles.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Sproles!

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

I understood Sproles, but sure hate the Jenkins decision.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Yea, very upset about Jenkins. Still have his jersey in my closet. I assume eagles paid him considerably less then we paid Byrd. Could have used that money elsewhere.

Any concrete figures on their salary differences would be much appreciated!

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

I have two of his jerseys! And, at one point, I offered one of them up on this board...No one would bite. I was such a fan of his, two different people got me his jersey for Christmas. As I recall, Jenkins drew a LOT of hate from this board. He was a value to us, if not only for his character and leadership. To see people like jenkins, and Patrick Robinson thrive in other systems, that makes me question our coaching skills a lot more than it does the decision to part ways with them over salary cap or money issues.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Yea, as soon as he came out of college, I was begging to switch him from CB to Safety. As soon as they did, his level of play continued to rise. I think he took initial criticism because for a while, we had him playing a position in our system that didn't fit his strengths.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Exactly right his veteran leadership was a major value. It was like having a Field General back there with the younger players. Jenkins, Sproles and Jimmy still leave doubts in my mind. But as they say we gotta move forward.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

I never liked the Jenkins decision. Sproles looked great, Hell they both looked great.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

I can't believe all the slobbering I'm reading about Jenkins. I don't miss seeing him get torched. Everyone looks better on another team, because you see the good, and don't care about the bad. It's the same reason we get over-excited for certain players that come here. We think we know them, and then we get burned. The Eagles can keep him.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

I was happy to see Jenkins go and wouldn't change it even if I could.

He was slow, whiffed on tackles, took awful angles and had bricks for hands - kind of what we had with Bush recently.

He was given plenty of opportunities to succeed with the Saints, but didn't...

I think letting Harper go had a much bigger leadership effect on the team than Jenkins' departure. And Harper at his best was better than Jenkins at his best, IMO.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Yep ... a lot of fans are still trying to re live the past. I stopped looking in the rear view mirror long ago.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

And the legend of Sproles continues to grow.

Let ... it ... go.

Re: Sproles, Jenkins
 

Don't worry we will see him in week 5.
Shut him down and all the talk is done.
