Rating Malcolm Jenkins

Just saying that because he has a tendancy to bit on fakes, if some does not think he can be a corner, what makes anyone think he can be an All Pro safety? That not a trait one would want at either positions.

Though the past two games he's looked completely overmatched and overwhelmed, it's all a learning process and he's still a rookie. He's definitely not as polished as one would want, but in the end he'll be just fine where he's at. He's fast and smart enough to continue to grow into a fine talent at either position. I can remember many clamoring for him to start this season... with his play of late, I'm sure one could see the reason why he was sitting at the bottom of the depth chart. If we went into the playoffs with Jenkins starting at one side, I'd be pretty worried.

As far as a grade is concerned, C/C-.

The past two games? He looked awesome in the Patriots game; sure tackling, solid coverage, no blown assignments.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
