Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

I agree, but it seems like he won’t be the culprit. They’re using him closer to the line of scrimmage a lot more often. That’s why my first post mentioned that they figured out how to use him. In cases where he does drop back into a Cover 2 shell he hasn’t been the problem to begin with. That’s Williams that likes to get beat on those plays! Lol. Those first two weeks MJ looked horrible, but he’s been consistently good since then.

59 tackles
9 passes defended
2 sacks
2 INT’s

And he doesn’t leave the field.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

All true. Especially about him not leaving the field. That goes all the way back to Philly I believe. He has only not been on the field like..5 snaps a year? Crazy. Plus, like you say, his playing closer in has reinforced the run D. It’s understated by the League, but haven’t the set a record for no 100 yard rushers ? That does soooo much to make other teams one dimensional.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

I believe so. This is why I kept saying I wasn’t worried about the defense. If we score like we’re supposed to we‘ll be just fine.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Well...I figured this convo was gonna get crazy. Sheesh. But blasting people and calling them racist? Cmon.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

One of the main things missing online is subtlety and nuisance I believe (I could be wrong of course). It’s hard to interpret someone’s true intent or emotions. I’ve been here only a short while, but we all (ideally) are gathered here on this website as Saints fans. I can’t see how anyone that would know anything about the team and pull for the Saints and take time to post here be a racist...nor would I see anyone posting here and pulling for the Saints call another Saints fan a racist.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Kind of sucks for Vonn Bell the Bengals are 2 8 1 once again a good player on a horrible team.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

unfortunately when a term meant for the most egregious of persons is now cast around so flippantly, it loses it's original mark.

"racist" lost the impact and now basically equates to "i don't like your beliefs"

It may be a good idea for us all to make a pact to keep these topics in Poli-Sci from now on.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Whilst the Internet has done so many good things for the world, one of the worst is that people can basically bully and accuse others of something, with little to no consequences.

As you said, people throw terms around so flippantly now they are the generic thing used when people try to win arguments.

Not sure if any of you are gamers, but I waited 7 years for a sequel to the Last of Us game, which I frankly didn't enjoy. However, write that on the Internet and you get accused of not liking the game because "it includes transgenders."

Internet can be a dangerous and idiotic place.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

20 years ago those people ran in groups of 3-4 and weren’t given much thought. Today they’re organizing violent nationwide protests.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Apparently the concept of rhetorical questions allude some people. I want to commend our friend, Rugby, who while he also continues to harbor some animosity toward Malcolm Jenkins, also has confessed on multiple occasions that he has a character flaw which prohibits him from from abandoning a grudge. :D

The point I was trying to achieve with iceshack was to get the same from him on why if Brees and his teammates are able to forgive and forget and move on, what is the hurdle keeping him from doing the same, especially since the event has nothing personally to do with himself.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Ok. But why is it so important for you to get something from iceshack? Do you need him to agree with you ?

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

You're assuming they have.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

In your attempt to use multisyllabic words, the purpose of the dictionary apparently eluded you.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

They have all stated as such. What reason do they all have to lie?

:confused:

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Judging by that shirt Brees had on during warm ups he’s acquiesced. I think it’s over. I have to agree with Guido, the fans are the only ones still talking about it, specifically the fans who disagreed with Jenkins and Thomas.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Would you expect them to state anything to the contrary and jeopardize an entire season?

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

:roflmao:

So you say they get on the same page to hide fact that they aren't on the same page to imply they are on the same page.

Try again ...

:rofl:

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Anytime Jenkins comes up on this forum it’s prefaced with the reasons people don’t like him. At this point it isn’t football related because he’s looked from average to great since Week 4.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Amen.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

The shirt was a team decision, no? And considering the mobilization against Brees and his family, he had no choice but to acquiesce...

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

He’s Drew Brees. He definitely has a choice.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Moving past feelings to focus on a common objective is business. What Brees was subjected to was personal.

Roll on the floor all you want.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Not if he wanted to survive a season of onslaught from players, politicians and media.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

FOX News and President Trump would have had his back. People, politicians, and media aren’t exclusively Liberal.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

I didn't bring him up but I do agree he's playing to the level we'd all hoped he would. Personally I think the work Jenkins does off the field is important and I'm glad he does it.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

As should we all.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

The statement wasn’t directed at you specifically, just a general observation. That’s why this thread grew legs.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Didn't say they were. Didn't name any people or outlets. Those who agree with Brees aren't exclusively Conservative either, Rez.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

You are so right. Moving past feelings are important. Some people however do not feel it is at all possible. That's what is so humorous.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

That’s true. That would mean even more people would have his back then one would expect.

We’re 10-2 and winning games with a back up QB again. Defense is playing well too. Yet, here we are talking about something that happened before the season that the media isn’t even bringing up anymore.

It’s the “fans”.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Like Brees, Jenkins also has a choice. He chose to amplify Brees's comments and (in my opinion) make them seem other than what many thought they were and I'm sure what Brees intended them to be.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

That’s between them. Ain’t my business. Getting in other people’s beef can land you in a funeral home or a prison cell where I grew up. If they say it’s dead then it’s dead.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Amen, again, brother!

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

It really isn't anybody's business but theirs. Why is that so hard to understand. Seems pretty basic.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

A lot of it really comes across as instigating, and people who instigate fights got beat up too. People who instigated beef got shot too. It’s a dead horse.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

I'm happy all that is true. Because a few more losses and we'd probably be pointing to that pre-season issue as the reason the team totted from the inside.

And who cares what the media brings up? "Air yards". Nuff said.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

I mean you just told me Brees folded to media pressure. You weren’t wrong to state the media has influence. The media tells plenty of people what to think. Most just pretend they’re immune.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

You're right I should clarify - "I" don't care what the media says. But I don't have to face them in a locker room every day.

Re: Malcolm Jenkins
 

Debating isn't instigating. It shouldn't warrant being shot. People who disagree shouldn't be labeled "racists" or "nazis". Those are all ways small-minded people react.
