If he were 32 years old, we would probably move Jenkins underneath Harper and let Sharp have that spot for 3+ years.

Dislike dislike!

Jenkins is ready to explode... he doesn't need to be behind anyone.

I didn't say he wouldn't beat Roman for his job...

Still dislike! He doesn't need to be an in the box type safety... which is a typical
position in a Williams defense. Ex. Milloy in Buffalo, Landry in Washington, Darius in Jacksonville, Harper in New Orleans.

Harper/Jenkins - The perfect Gregg Williams safety tandem.

I agree with you papz... who needs Jenkins competing with Harper at Strong Safety when we could just embrace the inevitable now and let Jenkins take over at FS?!? I love Darren Sharper and everything he's done for us but I think there won't be too much of a drop-off in productivity with Jenkins going into his second year at FS.

I would want Sharper just for depth and exp...Jenkins is no doubt the man..and again welcome Chris..

I don't disagree with you one bit strato... but it's just the same old issue of whether or not Sharper will accept that role of being a backup/mentor rather than being a starter somewhere else. Malcolm Jenkins said that he could go to Sharper with his questions last season and Darren was more than willing to help him out, but I guess I have just gotten that vibe that coming back to the Saints in any other role than starter is not too desirable to him.
