this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Jenkins had a terrible game. Worst game I've seen him play in a Saints uniform. Our Linebackers suck even worse, and our front 4 needs serious help....

I am not real sure how you put this on Jenkins. Those were some pretty horrendous play calls. Malcolm would be much better if he were put in winnable positions (i.e. facing the offense, not playing man defense so Williams can show how "creative" he is). His lack of speed is the reason he is playing Safety not Corner to begin with.

I don't like two things...
1) San Francisco brought the wood and caused turnover after turnover. We didn't and it cost us a trip to Indianapolis.
2) We cannot create a pass rush with a defensive line and an occasional linebacker. That's because we draft a lot of safeties, linebackers, and even cornerbacks who can be plugged in and out at various positions and can fill multiple roles. And who are not all that great at their primary assignments. Adequate at everything, excellent at nothing. We saw linebackers, defensive linemen, and SAFETIES (Great God) getting beat reapeatedly. If GW could just fill each position with a player who is excellent at that position, I suspect our defense would not collapse in the face of a shrewd offensive coordinator. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

What really needs to happen is move Harper to SLB (he would be a little small, but it is his natural position) and draft a SS. Oh, and hope like hell someone else offers to pay Greg Williams' salary next year.

I really thought that MJ was going to be Sharper Lite but he just hasnt panned out. I really don't know what to do but I suspect quddus will be our new starting FS next year.

I'm thinking the same thing, Jenkins may be a #1 pick but he does not play like one, I'm not seeing the up-side of his game and haven't for a while.

Jenkins played awesome at the end of 2010 and it made you think he had a couple picks and would get even better in 2011 - almost as you said "turning into darren sharper"
At this point I don't know if he'd be better suited to SS, but then roman excels because of how GW plays him to his strengths and I wouldn't want to lose that. Jenkins got burned by CJ last week ( yeah I know he's the best wideout in the NFl) for 210 yards and 2 TD's This week he gave vermin davis 180 yards and 2 TD's We need a safety that understands the coverage more but most of all we need a damn pass rush without sending 7 frickin players after the QB. Look at what spags did with new yorks front 4, if GW leaves I'd love for him to come here |
