It doesn't...But it does show that he has "skills", and only time will tell if he can be a starting CB for the Saints.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

SP was speaking very highly of Jenkins this morning in an interview on Sirius NFL radio.
I don't remember all the specifics, but he listed plays from all 3 games where Jenkins directly affected the scoreboard.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

And I think he (SP or GW?) mentioned he was improving quite a bit in practice too.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

From his current position on ST Jenkins has accounted for 14 points already this season.

He's in a perfect situation. There's no need to start him right now with three talented CBs out there.

Also he's gotten to play some nickel. He was out with the regular defense for at least a couple of plays yesterday.

Bring him along slowly. Trust me the season is long enough that he's going to get a shot at extended playing time before the season is over.

One thing I hope Williams continues to do is to get him out there during blowouts. He'll get lots of practice then without jeopardizing the game.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

When was the last time we had so many good DBs that we were worried about a good player getting playing time???

Not that I remember. Great problem to have!

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

he is not ready to be a starter at CB by a long shot. Can you say Free Safety. His play looks to have FS written all over it

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

He's been a special teams demon. This will earn him more opportunities from the coaches to get in on nickel or dime situations.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Disagree 100%. The only knock on his CB skills was lack of top end speed. He’s already proven that’s a myth by chasing down a couple different speedsters.

He is exactly where most rookie CB’s are their 1st year.

So far his play has "playmaker" written all over him.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

the knock on him isnt his top end speed right now

his problem is his ability(or lack of) in man coverage......he is doing great on special teams but that doesnt always translate to defensive production

currently he is the dime back and thats fine for now.....unfortunately we dont want our first round picks to all be busts so hes got to eventually step it up and prove he was worth it

i want him playing on defense as much as the next guy but hagan in right.....hes not ready yet

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Hagan didn't say he wasn't ready yet (which most rookie CB's aren't), he said he wasn't ready by a long shot.

There's a difference between not ready, and not ready by a long shot.

If we hadn't signed Greer, he'd probably be starting, or at least getting a ton of time at nickel.
