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

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
