John DeShazier: Malcolm Jenkins a major reason for defense's turnaround

triman · 10-10-2013, 08:44 AM

Another Jenkins is playing well at NT. Big John is taking up blockers and pushing the pocket to keep QBs from stepping up in the pocket and give others chances to make plays. A lot of Ivory fans were upset when we traded him for a 4th rd pick. Loomis and company traded two 4s for a guy that would go in rd1 in a redraft IMHO. We knocked it out of the park in this year's draft.

The one thing that has been consistently missing from him until this season, making plays on the ball

He has been playing very well, would like to see him get a few more picks - especially like the one vs bucs when he read it all the way and undercut the route

I found his errors decreased with Kenny Vaccaro on the field...

Could he be playing Strong Safety with a Free Safety title?!?

It was never fair to judge him from 2012 just like it wasn't fair to anybody else on that team, and he was a solid player before that even if not quite worthy of his draft status.

I do like how he seems to be turning himself into a leader on the field. Defensive MVP is stretching it though.

I think Jenkins is playing better this year but I think having Vacarro back there with him has a lot to do with that.

Rob Ryan is saving his career!! I still don't like him. Contract year they all seem to play better!!

Yes. As well as Rafael Bush has played don't be surprised if he is starting next year at FS and Harper/Jenkins both gone.

I could not have said it better.
Edit: He hustles at all times....but I just don't think he's very smart.
