Yeah, the 1 or two times that happens every year can be really frustrating huh? /sarcasm.

The recent talk about a possible move back to CB next year is because we now play a lot more zone coverage which does not suit Robinson or Greer, but does suit a slower CB like Jenkins. Not hacking on ya man but Jenkins ran something like a 4.6 or 4.7, 40, just saying. In his first two years Jenkins did make some great plays, not so much the last two.

4.55 at the combine. 4.46-4.51 at his Pro Day.

He's not slow by any means... as we've seen the past two years(running guys down). I've said this in the past... Jenkins plays like a SS on the field. If he's still here when Harper is gone, I think he'll play very well there. It's weird as when he flashed his All Pro potential, he was playing nickel/safety. One would have thought a move to FS full time would have been perfect for him. I'm not ready to give up on him as a FS, but I'd like to see him go back to that role that he had success in. That way Jenkins, Quddus, and Harper can all see time on the field together.

The young guys are impressive. I look forward to watching them grow.

And be Saints for along time.

He had a couple games this year where he showed excellent closing speed. I am not certain why he only does this at certain times, but the speed is there when properly motivated.

Jenkins, Quddus and Harper would be a nasty combination. What if there was a way to work Bush into the rotation as well? All 4 of them are turning out to be excellent players. Imagine of they were all on the field at the same time. I think I have seen this happen on 2nd and 3rd downs at times. And if I recall correctly it either ended up in a pass deflection, an interception, or a dropped pass.

Jenkins played CB when he started for us but he sucked so bad at that position. Come to think of it he just sucks period. He got moved to FS where he hasn't done crap at all. I'm all for the new players taking over.

Jenkins talked about Quaddus and Bush being depth- he!! he should realise he just lost his starting spot to Quaddus, his head is still in the clouds. Quaddus is our starter, trade Jenkins for some picks...please and invest in a corner that can play corner.

Agreed

We draft corners every year and not one of them can play (except elbert mack but we didn't draft him)

We need a dominant CB, I have no idea how Patrick Robinson was ever a first round pick, that was like a "all the best players are gone, just choose anyone scenario"

The defense has been significantly better without Jenkins, and when Harper is not in there. Cut our losses.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
