You wouldn't. You'd draft his replacement and give him a year to learn.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins could see more nickel
The Saints took a very gifted athlete who excelled at CB in college and tried to make him a safety. For whatever reason it hasn't worked. If he's moved back to CB and used in a man scheme he will excel again. He's big, strong, and fast enough. I fear JR will have the same lack of success at OLB. Only the most gifted can make a position change at the NFL level and succeed.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins could see more nickel
We have such short memories. Jenkins aka "double move" used to get roasted at corner. He was so bad at corner we moved him to FS. I just don't get the love for him. He is a bust. Go back and watch the cowboys game in the dome a few years back. That game was the icing on the cake for that season for him.
Harper at least was a good at one time. But he has single handedly been the weak link in our defense the last couple of playoff games we lost. Vacarro is known for being able to cover guys bigger than him which has to be a reason we picked him up. |

I remember him muscling, taking the ball away from Washington receiver in his limited playing time... Harper was good at one time? LMAO Devin Hester Pass Interference? Seattle TE Three Touchdowns? Green Bay I, II? Don't hate the player - just hate his game... |

Regarding MJ - the only thing I can say is that it took the front office only one year to know he wasn't going to be playing CB any more. |

Brother, he's a defensive back; a safety; last line of defense; he can't cover, he can't hit straight up; and he can't catch; he's slooooww... You're right, he led the league in sacks as a safety, but how many times was he sent and didn't make the play?!? how many times was he sent more than contemporary safeties on other teams?!? We had to send him cause he was a liability in coverage... I appreciate the love, but man when I hear the sack stat quote I keep asking, as a Defensive Back, shouldn't he be able to First, Cover?!? The Sack thing should be a bonus as a DB, not what he hangs his hat on... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
