Rating Malcolm Jenkins

jn671 · 12-10-2009, 06:50 PM

there is a difference between game speed and regular speed. idk if guys know what i mean. this kid can keep up.. i have seen him kept up with some speedy WR. i seem him excelling at FS and maybe the nickel like tracy did. But give him another year and he will be in his true potential. plus its too early to rate a rookie. by his third we should be able to rate him properly.. i have soo much confidence in this guy.. he can do it.. and plus once sharper retires.. looks like we might have a new FS in the midst.. also, give him more time to study GW's scheme.. im sure he's just adjusting to it. thats just IMO. oh and grade? ill give a C+ solely because of his ST plays.

Ok...maybe so..he just seems to be trailing all the time ..maybe he can learn to be fast...I could see him being a great safety...or nickel back... This new kid Marcus Mcauley?.....he has the speed ..lets see if he can be coached up...i luv the way Jenkins plays ST...he has that down...and he's a rook so maybe time will tell...

I think Gregg Williams sums it up quite nicely...

Q: Were there some communication issues with the new players?

A: Some is communication. It was fatigue. Some of it was just poor plays. I have to do coaching too. I have to help them with an easier plan in some situations also. One of those deep passes wasn’t one of those new guys. It happened to be one of those old guys that I had to chit chat with on the sideline. They’re pretty hard on him this week. That’s something you might want to talk with him about in the locker room. They’ve not been wanting to take me out to dinner much this week.

Q: Did Malcolm Jenkins struggle?

A: Malcolm had a couple things. He had a couple plays and there’s going to be learning experiences, but he really played well in some other areas, but they took advantage of a couple things.

Jenkins is a great playmaker, and he will be making more and more big plays.

His speed is a liability when our speed guys are injured, and he has to
cover the fastest receiver on the field. Otherwise, he should do fine.

I do think he will soon be converted to FS. Not so much because of his
speed, but because he is such a physical, smart, instinctive playmaker.

I like Jenkins so far...and he's with vets that can show him the ropes. His strrength pressing at the line can cancel a lot of problems in coverage. If he can continue to interrupt routes and blow away QB-receiver timing, it can only improve our results. He's a keeper.

I thought he got away with a lot during the Pats game and that he played poorly. There was a lot of holding calls that were blantant which wasn't called. He could not keep up with Welker at all.

He does look a little lost out there at times but Welker does that to a lot of DBs. This should be a good learning experience for him and should make him more coachable for next season. What he got away with at Ohio State wont work in the NFL.

What is this about Welker? He was as shut down as I have seen him in 2 years. Good job MJ!

MJ got away with a few calls but I still think he will be OK and glad we picked him.

I was hoping someone else noticed.

But if his assignment was to disrupt Welker's route and give the safety time to react then MJ did his job that night.

Maybe the Washington game was just a different game plan, but MJ did look behind his man most of the game.

Field conditions? Nah, bc the receivers had to run on the same field and they had no problems getting past our guys.
