Jenkins came back and proved he was a man and could take the heat.

Most of us Jaguars fans that support the team, had a feeling Jenkins was gonna have a great season in 2022 very early on....

(See how that works?)

By the way, I do this all in love!

WE all have concerns about players at certain times.  It's part of Fandom.  But honestly, I always like Jenkins and even Cisco, last year.  You could tell that Urban was killing a lot of players that just didn't want to play for such a piece of [BLEEP] and an organization that would support such a piece of [BLEEP].

Converserly, Shaq Griffin is just a wimp that couldn't handle the heat...  He was a cancer then in 2021 and he was a cancer at the beginning of 2022.  It was smart to IR him early and get him the hell out of the way.

Merry Christmas, my friend, but I'm afraid this is inaccurate. 

Jenkins stills sucks in coverage badly and that was why he was getting roasted last year. 
(he still misses some key tackles too, but I won't bother breaking that down till post season)

He hasn't done much to turn things around - but rather has a competent co0aching staff that plays him more wisely in a better scheme and better weekly game plans. 

Jenkins literally said it himself when asked the biggest difference between his play last year and this year. 

"Coaching."

Also - Shaq Griffin was loved in the locker room and in the press. He was a team first guy and not a cancer.

He's just a really bad corner back.

But don't you think that Jenkins is more Troy Palamalu than he is Ronnie Lott?

I think Jenkins is best near the line of scrimmage, let him disrupt [BLEEP] and then find his way to the ball.  I think he's got a future here...

(Edit, I'm still trying to figure out how to get these gifs to embedd into the post.)

But seriously, I think Jenkins is a great free safety on 1st and 2nd downs. Yeah, he may be a problem on passing downs, but only if you have him on a single coverate or a deep 2 zone shell where he has to cover half the field...

Jenkins has proven he's hard nosed. I think he's worthy of keeping for next year and maybe 2024 as well.
