Cowboys sending wrong message with Jenkins/Scandrick battle

[TheSport78]

How many GREAT tackles has Scandrick made?

BTW, tackling Steve Smith one-on-one in the open field with only six or so yards to go for a first down was pretty great if you ask me.

I remember the Big Ben sack which literally made me jump out of my seat. I also remember in one of the pre-season games he made a GREAT tackle near the goalline. Those are the two that come to mind, though.

was that the tackle where he body-slammed him, causing Stevie to get ejected from the game?

Yep.

Anyway, the reason this thread is dumb is that the outrage is over something that hasn't even happened yet. Why would anyone be so sure that Jenkins has won the competition before training camp has even started? Everything I read from minicamp said that Jenkins got first crack, but Scandrick got pretty much equal time with the first team. And nobody from the team has said that Jenkins is the starter.

So there's no wrong "message" to be sent.

Ok back in the Jimmy days, do you think Jenkins would be starting ahead of Scandrick as the #2 CB? HECK no! Jimmy always sent the right messages to his players. One of those messages were that if you were simply better than someone at your position, you would play and start! Everyone on this board knows that Scandrick is a better player than Jenkins at this point in their careers. But why is Jenkins going to start again? Oh yeah, because we have no leadership and authority at the head coaching position and the GM/owner is most likely pushing for Jenkins to start because he was a "1st round pick." Ahh I miss the old days!!

Scandrick is better inside in the slot at this point.....And please, this isn't 1991, the game has changed since then with all the spread offenses and three and four receiver sets... so you have no clue what Jimmy would of done today...

Just calling it like I see it Bob. Don't get all jealous just because my tongue is occupied elsewhere.
