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

My problems with Jenkins were these:
1. He would be all over a receiver and somehow the guy would make the catch over, above, around or through him. He had zero ball skills.
2. His tackling had to be among the poorest in "starting" caliber NFL safeties. The prime example is the whiff he made on Cam Newton in the Panthers loss last season.
I will never forget him for his hustle plays, though. Like the one on Mike Williams against Dallas that pretty much saved the game.
