This could work ..Jenkins hits like a mack truck and can cover...make it happen Loomis.

We do a lot of 4-2-5 and 3-3-5 sets also... Jenkins can play anywhere and there would be plenty of snaps for everyone.

Still, I wouldn't mind him in the nickel or as a backup, but Harper and Jenkins are the starters and I'm fine with that.

Jimmy Graham only 3 catches for 53 yards? He sucks. We should have never cut Shockey.
I'd trade a 3rd go get him back right now.

Oh wait, Shockey didn't even do as good as Graham. Can he play SS?

Those are Finley's numbers. Graham actually had 4 catches for 56, which obviously means Green Bay's SS really sucks.
