I think I hate Malcolm Jenkins more than I ever could hate Roman Harper.
Jenkins needs to maintain discipline in his assignments. He seriously needs to stop jumping routes & leaving areas of the field open when he is responsible for that territory. Its almost becoming a weekly occurrence with him. If he starts doing so, the interception opportunities will come as QB's may try to force some throws in tight windows. Jenkins catching those passes is another story though. He also needs to start wrapping up better on tackles instead of going for the kill shot all the time.

The problem with Jenkins is that he's a CB. He isn't a big hitter. When he does try to tackle, he does this weird dive with no arms extended and throw your back into the guy move that always ends up in him getting smoked.
Most of the defensive line trouble is personnel. Will Smith is not good. Sed Ellis is not good. These two seemingly have just dissolved away into nonfactors.
You can pretty much bet money that Ellis will end up 5 yards backward off the line and Will Smith will do this thing he always does where the bum rushes, throws his arm up like he's being held, and won't sniff the QB. Y'all know the move.
The LB's can hardly be blamed for the lack of a defensive line. Same for the corners. However, they aren't getting jams at the line, either, and Jenkins is playing the pass about as poorly as ever. Harper is having a solid year, but he's more feared as LB/blitz type player and I like the combo of him at nickel LB and Quddus at safety.
