Offseason decision to trade Jenkins fuels Panthers

maybe you should watch him

 

So are you saying you have watched many of the Jets games this season and you agree that Jenkins has been dominant? I am not saying he has not, just want to hear an opinion from someone who has been watching the Jets games...have you? As a team, the Jets have played against some of the worst rushing offenses in the NFL so far, so I have doubts about how good a run defense they really have, that's all.

 

Deshaun "Mr. Glass" Foster & David "Mittens" Carr. Those were more Detrimental to the team than Jenkins.

 

Jenkins has been good. He singlehandedly neutralized the Bills interior line. He was pushing the center 3 yards in the back field few times against New England who, with the 8th rank rushing attack, I wouldn't characterize as a bad rush offense.

 

I've watched quite a few. He's been eating linemen up. There are several thread started by people watching and commenting on his play.

 

Jenkins is a great talent, and unquestionably better than any DT currently on the Panthers roster. Buffalo at 24th in the league in rushing is not impressive, NE is but NE is also one of the teams they lost too. Oakland is the 10th rushing offense in the league and they ran for over 150 yards against the Jets. Just throwing out there that the Jet's run defense "might" be overrated right now.

 

Missed them....thanks for the info.

 

Foster wasn't a locker room problem. Carr, obviously. If we're talking about play, then certainly Jenkins' play doesn't enter into things, though his propensity to freelance and jump offsides were concerns.

 

I still find it significant that triple teaming him wasn't working, and that includes some passing down work where he collapsed the pocket.

that 150 includes a fake punt and a reverse, so it's more like 110 yards on 36 attempts for a 3 yard average, a full yard below their regular average.

 

It also might be slightly fucking relevant that Jenkins was our best defensive lineman last season. Think before you post, people. Think before you post. His impact on the field is not a question of media hype and never has been. He's that damn good. The off-field stuff is a valid question, but obviously it hasn't been a problem at all with the Jets. Maybe he just needed a change in scenery, or maybe guys tend to get pissy when the team is losing games.

Everyone keeps talking about the chemistry this year like it's a reason why we're winning. Personally I think the chemistry is great this year because the team is winning. Put us at 4-6 again like this point last year and I suspect that the same tension would be surfacing, Jenkins or no Jenkins. Ignorant people attribute wins to happiness or passion or any number of idiotic explanations that have little to do with actually winning games. We're 8-2 and Jenkins isn't coming back, so the "what ifs" are less relevant than the question of what we're going to do in the future to shore up the team's interior defense. Regardless, idiot writers shouldn't be attributing this team's success to Jenkins' absence, and idiot fans shouldn't be agreeing with idiot writers.
