Behind the Facemask: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Have you been able to get your hands on the football more this offseason because of the new defensive scheme or because of personal growth?

“I think it is a little bit of both. The scheme definitely puts me a lot closer to the line of scrimmage a lot. It puts me around the football a lot. That gives me the opportunities. I think the biggest thing this year is that I have been able to take advantage of those opportunities and catch the football. I am looking forward to continuing to grow in the defense and see how this season will play out.”

Are you expecting your best year yet?

“I think every year you are expecting your best year. That is what we work for. I definitely work hard to get better every day. In doing everything that I can, I am definitely hoping those efforts equal out to a better season.”

I think this will be his break out year. I'm calling >5 picks.

Re: Behind the Facemask: Malcolm Jenkins
 

First year - Hated him. Saw him burned way too many times.
He grew on me. Until Sam Bradford dusted him.
Then he grew on me again.

He's a Saint.

But so is Shanle.

However, Malcolm is more of a Saint than Shanle, and I welcome and appreciate that.

I'm thinking the same thing. Course I'm biased and hoping it'll happen but I think the new defensive scheme will allow him to be more of a true center fielder free safety. He got put out on an island an awful lot for a safety the last two years. Hard to jump routes when you're locked up man on man.
