I actually just started watching the Vaccaro video and I'm halfway through. I'm really excited about his future.

I'm also realizing just how God awful Malcolm Jenkins is. God, how did we mask that terribleness?

Makes you appreciate the job Ryan and GW did (that one or two years anyway). Spags was pretty bad. But those guys were up against it. That said, I really think our D is going to be special this year.

Safety play is hard to judge on TV, a lot of the times you don't even see them on screen. One thing I will say one thing that stuck out to me with Jenkins was those crucial 1-3 seconds before he tackles; that small window where a player has to visualize, adjust, and execute. It seems to me has problems in visualizing a player's angle and adjusting to it. This also seems to apply to him in coverage; especially when he is playing deep zone and has to adjust to the carrier. He never seems to be in position, which makes me think he just doesn't have the instincts for football at a high level.

Think about it, he's never been great at coming up with INTs. A lot of that has to do with being able to read a QB - he was always playing 3 steps behind the QB, and 2 steps behind the ball carrier.
