"Newman has been a mainstay there and is playing outstanding, but 21's going to be a superstar in this league for a long time."


Kind words but you best believe Favre is going to test Jenkins early and often.

I hope he does because Favre is right Jenkins is going to be a super star he already is the best CB on this team and has shown he can come up with big plays.

We've got a lot of guys who will be superstars for a long time. We are very fortunate.

I completely agree with Favre. Mike Jenkins is a top 5 corner, maybe even top 3.

My only beef with Mike is that he needs to stop giving recievers easy catches. He's too good to be playing off 7 yards on 1st and 10.

Is that him though, or a coach's call? I honestly don't know.

Jenkins is going to be matched up against Rice most of the time also. Rice usually lines up on his side of the field. Like a 5 inch advantage.

Every Vikings game I've watched this season if Favre sees Rice get 1 on 1 coverage, he rolls out and just throws it sky-high. If Jenkins can make a play on 1 of those for a turnover early in the game (and I promise Favre will take the shot on jenkins or Newman there) that will be huge for us.

I think Favre is going to pick on Scandrick a lot. Scandrick/Percy Harvin is a huge matchup not many of us have talked about. If Scandrick has a great game, I like our chances.

Farve is right and #21 is arguably playing the best at his position in the league right now.:)

Scandrick has been tackling great lately, but he is playing against a Steve Smith *Carolina*, Devin Hester type. You are right, that is probrably a bigger matchup than Newman or Jenkins.

That's why we gotta knock Favre on his *** early and often. We cannot get beaten by the old gunslinger.

Good point. I'm actually worried about this match up. Even though Scandrick has been playing better as of late, I still don't have much confidence in him.
