I agree that consistancy is the key especially since the Nickel Corner is where Scandrick really shines playing the nickel is a bit more difficult then the corner, most of the time you can’t jam the Receiver so feet placement and technique is very important in order to stay with your man. Scandrick in my opinion has better technique then Jenkins which makes him a better fit for the slot roll moving from the edge to the corner during the game can hurt him in developing those skills as a nickel back..

Upon further review… I think it was more of a good throw then Jenkins getting burnt. At the snap of the ball the Safety shaded to the middle and Jenkins was dropping straight back. So it seems as if they were in a cover 3 with the corners and safety each taking a third of the field. If the Safety stayed home the seam wouldn’t have been open but he bit on the pump fake and left it wide open. It only looked like Jenkins was beat but he was coming over from his side of the third trying to make a play but was too late.

I watched it a couple of times and thats the way it looked to me. Although Raf does a better job of reviewing film so he may have gotten a better take on that.

It seemed like Delhomme looked Hamlin off and Hamlin never came over to help so I don’t think that was all on Jenkins.

He played way worse than anything Jenkins has done. On that TD allowed, Jenkins shares responsability with the Safety (Hamlin) who should have given him deep help, but Hamlin followed Manning’s pump fake and took himself out of position.

That pick wasn’t lucky he had his man well covered. Everybody knew Jake shouldn’t have thrown that ball but Jake, thats why Moose was like wtf? when he saw the ball coming in the air. He had already given up on the play.

I will say we need to teach all of our corners to dive at the ankles stop trying to grab guys waists because to many people are spinning out and running for more yards. If you go for the ankles even if spins he can’t go completely around if you got a headlock grip on his ankles. All he will do is jump around on one leg while the LB comes to whip him out.

I think he can be the answer with more experience because he has very good athletic ablity… If Moose didn’t push him in the back he might have brought down a 2nd pick. He has very good recovery speed when the ball is in the air.

Has an INT, and had another negated by penalty, plus another pass vs TB that he probably should have picked off, got his hands on it. He’s still learning and the only way he’ll get better is to let him play.

You can already see the play-making skills are there. The more time he gets at RCB the sooner he’ll develop into an all around player.

It wouldn’t be so bad if Hamlin would step it up. I put a lot of the blame on him. He’s supposed to be the captain of the secondary, if guys are confused, he’s not getting the job done. Not to mention his invisible man impression this season.

For example, Asante Samuel is a really good CB, but he gets toasted every once in a while, like the New Orleans game and first Cowboys game last year.

The CBs indeed need to improve and broaden their relationships with the tackling dummies… And they should add audio to the dummies: “Shoulder tackles don’t work, you have to hit, hold on and bring down”. They should also sleep while hearing the record.

No explanation needed, now you are describing the redskins, and lion.

we need game film of Aaron Glenn

his words ring like a true professional.

I think he is going to be one of the better nickel corners in the league. This is not a demotion, IMHO.
