Couldnt disagree more. Jenks has been good this year.Tru coming back and Jenkins taking a step back might be the best thing to happen for this team.

Huh? By what standard is that? Jenks is giving up a 123 QB rating right now and getting outperformed in almost every way possible by a 6th round rookie CB. And that TD he gave up to Brandon Lloyd was just abysmal. Still can't get the taste out of my mouth on that one.Couldnt disagree more. Jenks has been good this year.
A few brain farts are what separate the good CBs from the bad ones. The most important attribute for a CB is consistency and Jenks just doesn't have it.Yeah - Jenks has had a few brain farts but he has been solid otherwise. Tru will only help solidify that unit and maybe not have JJ on an island quite as much.
What the heck is wrong with McGee?
yeah, I heard it was his foot, but either it's broken or turf toe....c'monHe's been injured for weeks. How he hurt his foot, I don't know, but I'd assume they're taking it easy on him because he just got back to practice yesterday for the first time.
I'd disagree. What very good CB hasn't been burned a few times in their first couple years as a pro? There are a boat load of consistent CBs that no one will ever remember. But when you have a playmaker at CB, he will get burned occasionally - especially early in his career. JJ is a playmaker and pretty good in Run defense. He has it and will build on it.A few brain farts are what separate the good CBs from the bad ones. The most important attribute for a CB is consistency and Jenks just doesn't have it.
By my standard. Ive watched every snap and hes been playing well. His tackling for a corner has been top notch. Hes had some tough matchups and certainly his share of mistakes but has been solid overall. Imo what would be best for the rams is Tru to come back healthy and us to have 3 good corners not Jenks to be hurt but suit yoursel.Huh? By what standard is that?

I haven't been impressed by Jenkins for a while now. He takes a ton of chances and that pick six against the Cowboys was the first time he's made a play to show for it since his rookie year. He plays very loose in man coverage and is probably the biggest liability on the defense behind only Ogletree right now.By my standard. Ive watched every snap and hes been playing well.

As far as the Ej Gaines comment, we all know that round drafted means nothing. Gaines playing well is a testament to Gaines and has NOTHING to do with Jenks. How many first round QBs are getting out performed by 6th round Draft pick Tom Brady?
16/29, 174 yards, 1 TD, and 1 Int is solid.Third best corner? Nope, Jenks has been pretty solid.
There is so much more to the Cornerback position that looking at stats through a vacuum is a pretty good waste of time in all honesty.16/29, 174 yards, 1 TD, and 1 Int is solid.
21/32, 306 yards, 4 TD, and 1 Int is not solid.
Guess whose statline is whose.
And this is the statline that had everybody calling for Finnegan's head as the worst CB since Justin King, btw:
26/34, 353 yards, 4 TD, and 1 Int
Not much worse than CB no.2 this year, purely statistically speaking
And then let's look at last year:
46/75, 523 yards, 2 Td, and 3 Int vs
56/87, 783 yards, 7 TD, and 1 Int
And here's Justin King in one of the worst years I've ever seen a CB play:
43/68, 571 yards, 6 TD, and 1 Int
Not too far from the numbers CB no.2 put up last year
Just try to look at this objectively for a moment.
So do you always get high while watching the Rams? Because no one's seeing what you see when it comes to Jenkins!I haven't been impressed by Jenkins for a while now.

If you want to be impressed by mediocrity then that's your choice, but Jenks is probably the third best CB on the team right now. And as for his tackling being "top notch", Jenkins has the 2nd most missed tackles on the team and 6th most in the league among CBs.
