Kris Jenkins Is Why I'm Scared Of Drafting a Defensive Tackle

I remember the Wesley Walls curse at tight end, but that really stopped last year with Olsen and Shockey. It turns out that if you ignore a position and only throw a day two or three pick at it every once in a while, said position will suck. It's probably the same with DT.

As for MLB, we've already gotten like 3 all-pro seasons out of beason before he got injured, so that is a really delayed curse. I love Morgan, but he tackled with his noggin and the injuries shouldn't be a shock.

Jenkins just refused to keep his fat ass in shape. He always ballooned up in the offseason and I always said it would catch up with him. In his younger years, he was able to work his way back into playing shape through camp and the preseason, but the older you get, the harder it is to pull it off.

If Jenkins would've committed to keeping himself under 350, probably in the 330 range, he'd probably still be playing. I'd be willing to bet that he played a lot of snaps over 400.

Kris Jenkins helped propel our defensive line to elite status which helped us get to our first Super Bowl which we lost because of John Kasay's choke and God Brady. What's the bad part about drafting another Jenkins? Having a great line?

True....

But it would have been terrific if he lasted just a little longer. And idk if there's a Kris this draft... just like nobody knew Kris would be Kris coming out

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Backup QB has been an issue of mine for a long time but not just for Bryce and Dalton. We have never really been able to develop QBs or build an offense around strengths. Dalton isn't going to move the needle one way or another. The problem is in our FO and possibly coaching staff (current staff undetermined as of yet). I'm of the belief that you always try to get better. Dalton wasn't good other than one game against an abysmal defense. Churn the roster, including backup QB. If BY isn't the guy we've got to start over anyway. Who knows. We might actually find someone good. Other teams have done it before.

      Lol. Worst case? I think you mean most likely result. I don't think people are going to be wasting much breath on Dalton or QB2 if Bryce flounders this year. It's going to be people calling for coaches, GM's and owners heads for the mess we got ourselves in with Bryce in the first place. Rightfully so.

      I mean that's his sole reason for being here. He doesn't win football games. He's here to keep Bryce comfortable.
