So how’s the secondary play out with Jenkins?

I assume he will spot play some for Apple at times and in the slot at times.

Realistically, our best secondary grouping could be Lattimore, CGJ and Jenkins. But I seriously doubt he will start over Apple or CGJ or even PJ if he doesn’t play lights out. I think he mostly plays in the slot at times and then some on special packages.

I’m really surprised we don’t play more DBs. A lot of teams did it against us last year like the Rams and Eagles to great success. A lot of times they would only have one LB on the field. I’m surprised we don’t do that more often considering the injuries to our LBs and our wealth of DBs. Davis is our only good coverage LB but he’s also really valuable as a blitzer. I’d much rather have CGJ or Jenkins in Klein’s place in coverage, or even if they’re just spying Wilson or Jimmy G or whoever. I’d almost rather CGJ blitzing instead of Klein too.

It is harder to take LBers off the field with the losses on the DL.

They had CGJ coming up a lot in run support last night.

I think this signing was more about next season than anything else. If apple leaves, you have a capable 2. If you can reach a deal with Apple, you have a piece you can move with 0 cap hit.

His cap number next year will be 10,125,000 with a 1M roster bonus. Extend him, and spread out that salary a bit, cut him, keep him at that number. Lots of flexibility.
