Re: This is why Malcolm Jenkins isn't going anywhere
There are stats you can massage to make any argument. What never fails is the eye ball test. Harper can't cover anything. He is stout vs. the run and a decent blitzer, but he has poor make up speed and gets caught up in traffic when trying to hang with people. Jenkins has very poor instincts in reading plays and when the ball is in the air. He bites on nearly every pump fake, takes poor angles, and while he doesn't usually allow receivers to separate from him he seldom succeeds in challenging on the ball. Tackling is another suspect area. Too many times he throws his body and makes no effort to wrap.
I would not be disappointed to see neither player back. But with Vaccaro suffering the injury both very well may be. My bottom line point - our new found pass rush is making our entire secondary aside from Keenan Lewis better than it is. |
