Janoris Jenkins denies he’s under any pressure after ugly game

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had an outstanding game against the Giants on Sunday, and cornerback Janoris Jenkinstook most of the blame. Jenkins spent most of the day covering Evans, and the result was Evans having one of the best games of his career, catching eight passes for 190 yards and three touchdowns.

Jenkins, however, says he’s not under any pressure to step his game up.

“Ain’t no pressure,” Jenkins said, via Matt Lombardo of NJ.com. “It’s important to come back out and play football. Everybody gets paid. Like I said, there ain’t no pressure.”

Jenkins was beaten by Evans on a huge play in the game’s final minute, setting up the Bucs’ attempt at a game-winning field goal. Fortunately for Jenkins, the kick missed. Jenkins, however, said that he doesn’t get down on himself.

“I like to play football. They’re going to make some plays, I’m going to make some plays. It’s a new week. Like I said, there ain’t no pressure,” Jenkins said.

That may be true right now. If Jenkins struggles again on Sunday, playing a Washington offense that hasn’t had much success this year, he’s going to be feeling the pressure whether he says so or not.

I always liked the play of our former Ram.

Surprised he’s struggled this year, and I don’t think the Evans game was his only shaky one...

Evans gives a lot of CBs trouble

When you keep saying "there ain’t no pressure" there's pressure.

He's always going to give up games like this because he is a risk taker. He'll make a play on the ball and sometimes it doesn't pan out well.

This was the big criticism of him when he was with the Rams.

I like the guy as a player, he has skills. So I totally agree with you about the play of our former Ram.

And I respect that he gathered himself together when he got kicked out of Florida. Plus he always treats the media with respect and he's polite and when he has a bad game he admits it and moves right on from it. He seems like a good guy and the type I'd have a drink with and watch football with for sure.

 

[LesBaker]

Oh and I forgot to add........He's always strip club ready.

 

[RamDino]

Janoris Jenkins was a good player for us, and he represented the Rams very well. That doesn't mean I want him back. -lol

 

[A.J. Hicks]

I believe Evans torched him when he played for us as well.

 

[Ram65]

Some nice throws against JJ. He got torched but Winston was throwing great and Evans is tough to cover one on one. He didn't get any help. He probably isn't the same player he was as a Ram. I always liked that he would come up and make some great tackles in space.

Never understood the dismay for letting him leave. Good riddance.

Jenkins denies he has two brain cells to rub together.

 

[LesBaker]

For the money yeah it was smart to let him go.

But he played well, and still is playing well.

I’d say he played well enough not to get benched. Guy cost a ton of unnecessary TD’s and big yardage plays. I guess it’s all water under the bridge now.

The couch doesn't match the drapes.

I hope we studied his tape and saw where he went wrong cause Evans will need to be accounted for. It’s been nagging me all week having to play him.

I think this is a matter of extreme pride for our secondary to shut him down. He will be shut down and the talking heads will be talking next week how the Rams secondary is the best in the league. I hope I'm right!

 

[den-the-coach]

He was, but Jenkins was twice the cover corner, seems to have lost a step, but let's not forget his agent sold him out for a much lower contract from the Rams, IMO, I think the Rams learned from that experience and Jenkins hasn't really won anything in New York.

My concern with Evans is if he's getting deep balls thrown to him where he can go up for them. Which comes back to the rush and whether the DL is in Jameis' face. If the defense does what it's been doing with the rush and good coverage, it's going to be hard for him to have a huge game. More likely is a ton of underneath stuff which I'm not too worried about.

 

[I like Rams]

Even with Evans, the Bucs were always a guaranteed win when Fisher was here and Evans never burned Jenkins that bad before. Im guessing its a regimen problem more so then a Jenkins prob. Only person i remember burning Jenks that bad was Steve smith when we went against Carolina.
