Cornerback Depth

[starfrombirth]

The only way Adam Jones sees starting time is injury to Henry or Newman. Until he can prove he has changed his ways this first year, I wouldn't want to pull a starter with the chance that I would have to reinsert them because 'Pacman made it rain'.

Both Jenkins and Jones will have their hands full getting used to NFL speed and learning their responsibilities on special teams and defense.

I would guess that Jones will see more time at #3, but in my mind Jenkins would have the better chance to unseat Henry because he doesn't have off the field concerns hovering over him.

It'll take Pacman about 5 minutes to get adjusted to NFL speed. He's already played..remember?

If and I say IF, pacman can return to his prior form, what he could potentially get into off the field won't be a factor IMO.

I would say that in his first year it is a factor. You don't want to disenfranchise (is that the word I am looking for?) Henry because a player that is 1 strike away from a lifelong ban. Next year if he has kept his nose clean, sure Adam would get the start. This year, I'd be very leary.

I hear you.

I doubt this very much.

Agreed, Newman lacks the ball skills and the hands to be an Ed Reed type player, he's also never played safety...
