Re: John Jenkins ?
He's a nose tackle, probably not going to hear much from him. According to Triplett's blog he played 23 snaps against the Eagles to Bunkley's 34. So he's out there a good bit.
Speaking of Bunkley he was a stud against the Eagles. I feel like he's one of the most underrated players on the defense. |

Re: John Jenkins ?
Jenkins had 5 tackles, 1 assist and 3 stops against the Eagles. Best game all year. Best run defense grade out all season matching his Buffalo performance.
He is a NT.... You dont hear schit about them unless they screw up. Jenk has no less than 1/3-1/2 of the snaps in every single game this season. Bunkley has only been in 13 games and has been solid in all games except Seaphucks and Fowlclowns |

Re: John Jenkins ?
Whe Bunkley was hurt and Jenkins came in and played well thats when I knew we had a good NT. I think this big guy can get better and better.

I'm not sure he's gonna take a pay cut next year, and he shouldn't. He may be restructured and extended however. |

Re: John Jenkins ?
Bunkley has great upper strength, Jenkins is more of a roadblock right now but he is on his way up and has improved quite a bit. Both were outstanding pickups.

He was good anyway but our scheme now suits him better, just like cam jordan I think alot of the reason our D is top 5 now is rob playing them to their strengths, e.g vaccaro as a nickle safety |
