This is from a USAToday article I remembered from early in the year ...

Malcolm Jenkins’ triumphant return to New Orleans couldn’t have got off to a better start. Jenkins was used all over the Saints’ defense and had an impact in seemingly every role. He spent snaps as a deep-lying free safety (22) in the box (20), crowding the line of scrimmage as a threat to blitz (17), covering the slot (7) and even split wide as a perimeter corner to match up with Bucs’ receivers (4). He even played special teams to add to his contributions. Jenkins had two total pressures from six pass-rushing snaps on the blitz, recorded two defensive stops and didn’t give up a catch during the game as the Saints defense frustrated Tom Brady and the Bucs.

So when he’s not in the box or close to the line he’s the Free Safety, and we haven’t had near as many issues getting beat deep.

So that was from September? That's not his role now in the defense we've seen the past few weeks, is it?

I think that’s the first Bucs game.

I saw another breakdown a few weeks back, but I can't remember the source. I only remember that it was similar in nature.
