Reis came up with the onside kick. Keep that guy.

Who stepped in for him last year? It was Young, and that's who it would be if he was to go down again. Jenkins is a CB.

However, when he did step in last time I think he got burned for a TD. I was a big fan of his in the beginning but less so each passing year. I hope he has it together this year. I was pulling for him to make the switch to safety.

Young won't be a starter for New Orleans. Ever. He's a ST player with backup potential. That's it.

LOL @ Jenkins hasn't done anything. Granted it's been at corner but in our system the line between free safety and corner gets rather blurry. Go watch the 3rd and 4th quarter of the SB for a good example. Guy made some great deflections in the play offs as well.

A few more inches on a play right before the pick 6 and it would have been Jenkins with the winning TD.

I voted for Jenkins, but the more I think about it, I'm going with Vaughn. Jenkins and Robinson can play nickel and dime.

lets let vaughn hit the field before we give chip the mvp. if jenkins would have studied and played the safety position all last season and chip has played nothing but safety in his career then the compitition would be on. if jenkins is moving to safety like all the experts said after the draft, it looks like its going to be a fight. unless he goes to strong, heck i don't know. help?

I voted for Vaughn just because he's a natural safety and I think he's got the size and speed to be a player in the NFL.

That being said, Malcolm Jenkins is going to be one heckuva player for years to come. He has great instincts. My only concern is that he hasn't played safety in the NFL, and in several years.

I know who it definitely would NOT be, and that's Usama Young. Dude is awful.
