He's a baller thats for sure.

I'd like to see our coaches show more confidence in him consistently and not let him back off 12 yards on a receiver.

But he is definetely he was well worth a 1st round pick when oh so many here had him as a bust.

That's kinda the idea behind our defense though. Pittsburgh plays it similarly (with similar personnel as well).

If you have CBs play up on those guys, they're gonna get burned if the pressure doesn't' get there.

Just about to say that... at times he gave obsurd cushion even on a TE. Part of the scheme? Not sure.. but I love this kid... He also made a great pic against Tampa that was called back..

I agree and think because there is not a big weak link we are seeing less confusion in the secondary. Last few years guys did not seem to know who had who this season I'm not seeing that.

Newman, Scandrick and Jenkins are all really good in coverage. Jenkins is more of a ball hawk, but if the other two would turn and look for the ball sooner, we'd have a lot more picks. Overall, I'm really satisfied with the play of the secondary. Sensabaugh and Hamlin, yes Hamlin, are playing well. And Ball has done well off the bench.

It's part of the scheme, I'm pretty sure, all the CB's have done it at one time or another. I don't think there's a CB in this league that would play that far off their man if you gave them the choice.

they run a lot of the Cover 2 shell on 3rd and long on the outside and have since Wade got here

He usually only rush 4 and sometimes 5 on 3rd and long

It is a Wade thing keep everything in front of you on 3rd an long it is a lot like the Tampa 2 in that regards this is not an every down type of thing but something Wade likes to do on 3rd and long

Jenkins is turning into a stud that's for sure. I might say his style is impetuous, his defense impregnable. He's ferocious, he wants the receiver's heart. Oh, and he wants to eat their children.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Before Wade got here we definitely had a habit of giving up those bombs, especially on play action and that's all but stopped. So I guess you can't complain too much about it.

Over generalize much? Not everybody is a negative nancy drama queen fan who overreacts about every single negative thing that happens in a game. Only 80% of us.

Yep and it's huge.

Newman has always locked his man down, but has trouble making plays when the ball is in the air.

And he also drops alot of picks. Last nights drop (and then subsequential kick) was Newman in a nutshell...

See the play, make a quick break on the ball, be in perfect position, yet fail to bring the ball in.

I honestly think by the end of the season Jenkins will be our best corner mainly due to his ability to come up with turnovers.

Definitely building confidence and opposing QBs will become more and more careful going in his direction, too.

Just have to continue to watch see his development but he's been having a very strong season so far
