Jenkins'  pick in the first half was caused by Ryan being hit by Travon Walker as he released the ball. 



The INT caused by the pressure and hit above was the only impactful play Jenkins made in the 1st half.
The score was 17-0 at that point. 

While they did score after the INT, it was a methodical 9 minute drive very well executed by Trevor and the entire offense. 
Most impact?  Trevor, Kirk, and Robinson all impacted the game more than Jenkins in the first half. 
Jenkins played well and was in position to capitalize on an errant throw caused by Walker, but... not the most impact. 

In the second half, he had a QB hurry on an unblocked, delayed DB blitz and one PBU. 

He allowed a 66.6% completion rate in coverage equating to 70 of Indy's 195 passing yards. 

In the third quarter he let J Taylor shove him to the ground quite easily when attempting to tackle him. 



Luckily, Cisco tripped him up to prevent a TD. 

Jenkins did make a good play when he shoved a receiver out of the back of the end zone before he could get two feet down.
Credit where due. He allowed the catch but made a heads up play. 

He got torched by Dulin late in the game allowing a deep pass. 

Then, finally, the aforementioned PBU in the end zone. Matt Ryan - rolling rapidly to his right to evade Foye Oluokun, tried to defy the laws of physics to throw across his body in the opposite direction of his direction of travel and lobbed up a duck for Jenkins. 
Kudos to Rayshawn for being in the spot and alert to the ball, but, see the pic in next post for clarity on the throw being impossible if your name isn't Pat Mahomes. 

So, I'm all ears for someone to tell me why I should be praising Jenkins above anyone else on the roster. 

In fact, after watching the all-22 and focusing on the back seven of our defense, Devin Lloyd actually played a better game in coverage than Jenkins. His advanced stats compared to Jenkins' support that opinion as well. 50% comp rate and 18 yards given up.

Here is the bad throw from Ryan:

You did a nice job of trying to discredit Jenkins game but the fact remains that he had more of an effect on this game than JR. Robinson had a 2.8 ypc average which is already pittiful, but on top of that he scored his longest touchdown run in his career of 37 yards, you take that run away and his aberage is somewhere around 1.8-2 ypc and it wasnt just him getting stone walled at the end running out the clock because he had like 10 rushes for 12 yards prior to the td. (Not exact numbers but something like that)


Point is, just like we trevor you have a bias for players that keeps you from being honest. You hate jenkins because he was crap last year but in this game he got an early int that was turned into a td that gave us huge momentum, he pushed a would be td out of bounds and he had a pass breakup in the endzone.. thought there was another but im not positive.


Love james, but he had no where near the impact of rj and there are a few other players on def that deserved your vote ahead of him.

Incorrect.

There is no bias involved in any of this. 
Unlike you, I don't litter this board with unfounded critique of any player in an attempt to mitigate my bad takes. 

I liked the Jenkins signing when we got him. 
I was disappointed last year in most players, including him, but this is a new year. I'm pulling for him to improve on last year (and week one of this year.) Looks like he's trending that way. 
I'm not discrediting him. 
I'm just showing how I put performances like his from last week in perspective. 

He made one good play in the first half. A few more in the second half. I listed him in my honorable mentions for good reason. 
James Robinson's 37 yard TD scamper was a better play with more impact than any of his IMO. 
It's also silly to write off all the good work JR did making tough 2 and 3 yard carries to run the clock down. 
We DOMINATED time of possession and he was integral to that effort. 
This is a man coming off a major injury who carried the ball 23 times and took some real punishment in the process. 
I give him big props for good and valid reason. 

This thread is seeking opinions on players we value in each game. 
I enjoy reading others takes on vital performers. 
I wouldn't have bothered to critique any one else's opinion here had you not attacked mine.
But you did, and it's probably just making you look like an [BLEEP] again. 
Good luck with that.
