And he was that bad as a rookie CB that you're saying he needs to switch positions? That's something that very few people can do. Usama tried it, and he's awful. I just don't really understand why there's such a push for him to change positions, something that could potentially ruin his career. Add on top of that the fact that nobody even knows if he can play safety, and it doesn't make sense to me. Why fix something that ain't really broken? If he struggles the next couple of years, then sure, I think that's something we should consider, but Malcolm played well in 2009. I'm not sure if we were watching the same player this season or not, but Jenkins looked pretty good for a rookie. He held his own and made some really good plays at times.

I can give you 2 reasons...Greer and Porter. I want all of my good players on the field at the same time...and if I got a guy that can play CB, but it would benefit the team more if he played S...I would want that guy to be a team player.
