Mike Jenkins is making some news lately, but it’s not what he’s saying that’s getting all the attention, it’s what he’s writing.
Jenkins has his own official blog, and he has been keeping busy calling things the way he sees them.
“Heading into training camp I’m the starter at right cornerback, and my job is to maintain that position. I’m back in Florida training at IMG to get my body right, get my head right, be mentally ready heading into the season. …It’s my job to lose, but there’s a guy behind me with nothing to lose. If he makes a mistake, it’s not going to cause him to lose his job. If I make a mistake, the coaches are going to take a long, hard look at me in that position.”
I’m all for a good healthy position battle at training camp, but I prefer to see a winner proclaimed after all is said and done on the practice field. Actions speak a lot louder than words. I admire your confidence Mike, but I hope you can follow through and back it up come training camp.
As some of you know, Jenkins recently ditched his uniform number 31 and exchanged it for 21. In a previous entry Jenkins talks about his rookie year.
My rookie season was definitely harder than I expected. I went in and thought I knew all the rules, but I learned the hard way. I learned real quick that the speed of the game is way faster and the game is much harder.
I would rate the season a 6 or 7 from 1-10. There’s a lot of room for improvement and I’m my own hardest critic.
I’m looking forward to seeing both Orlando Scandrick and Mike Jenkins, battle it our for the starting gig in training camp. Scandrick has already show some great cover skills, but hopefully Jenkins can step up in his second year with the team and show even more.
Let the battle begin, and may the best man win…
can’t wait to see the battle!
I want all of the secondary to be battling! I love this. I was thinking Scandrick was better but either way I love it.
SHIT i’M GOING TO BE THERE AT THE ALAMODOME WATCHING THE BATTLE.
Scandrick was matched up on slot usually 3rd recievers where as Mike Jenkins had to cover more polished #2 recievers. They both show promise, i think that Scandrick will push Jenkins to be great. Trust me no 1rst round male ego wants to lose his job to a 5th round pick.
