That was quite foreboding


It's was bad enough to get burnt badly by LaFell in the NCG, but he also got burnt by Quan Cosby the very next bowl season in yet another high profile game in the Fiesta. Cosby went undrafted and has drifted between 3 or 4 teams in his NFL career which would seem even more telling in retrospect.

But I had great faith in 3G after he helped us win a SB, so I rooted Jenkins on to have his star turn at safety, but unfortunately, it was a turn for the worse.

Didn't know much about him going into the draft. Fell in love with him after I watched this!

Rookie year: (started at CB due to injury against TB) "Man, he is really developing, best CB out there today"



He had 1 good game at corner. He was pretty terrible actually.

But damn was excited after the NE game

He played so well and showed promise. We lost the Seahawks game due to his injury

If you ever feel like combing through my posts, I'm pretty much anti-Jenkins. This move is going to be such an upgrade, assuming Rob Ryan uses him correctly as a deep safety.

Byrd is almost an exact copy of Earl Thomas, but with better ball skills, though not as much athleticism.




We have 3 safeties now that are all upgrades in KV, Bush and Byrd

Cornerbacks can be so much more aggressive for turnovers now with Byrd playing deep...exciting stuff.
