Schawiiiiiiiing!!! So pumped for this kid, debating a Jenkins jersey... Pretty cool read too to hear about his rehab, and how his brother had to help him through it. I always like hearing back stories like this that show the humanity of these guys....cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Can't wait to watch Jarvis Jack-you-up Jenkins play. He said he wants to be the most dominant DL on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I was so devastated when he got hurt last year. Nice to see that he is back, and presumably, better than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Okay, how good is Jarvis Jenkins going to be, really? From what I recall, we saw brief flashes, but not much more before he got hurt. I ask because I remember similar expectations when we got Jeremy Jarmon with a third round supplemental draft pick out of Kentucky in 2009. The Skins traded him to Denver for Jabar Gaffney in July 2011, and the Broncos cut him that September. He is currently out of football...Gaffney's schlong is longer that Jarmon's NFL career. Maybe Jarmon/Jenkins is a bad comparison. Tell me why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateSkins Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Jenkins has been hulking up during his rehab. He can now bench 225 32 times. At the combine he could only bench it 19 times. Dude is gonna be an animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major difference for me, is that Jarmon was drafted in the 3rd round of the supplemental draft. And Jenkins was the 2nd round pick in the regular draft. I think we've got way to high of expectations on Jenkins, but I think he's going to be a above average-good player for 10+ years. I personally thought he was really good in the pre-season, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCchillin89 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Maybe Jarmon/Jenkins is a bad comparison. Tell me why. Different players coming out of college. Jarmon was a prototype 4-3 DE. Jenkins was space eater, allowing DE's like Bowers to pile up the sacks. Jarmon might've been a good player but he was just drafted at the worst possible point for the Redskins. He just drafted by Cerrato to play 4-3 did not fit the 3-4. Constantly switching positions (4-3 DE, 3-4 OLB, 3-4 DE) under Shanny and blowing out his knee cost him his career I think. Jarvis was a high pick because Shanahan knew how he would fit in the Defense, he inherited Jarmon and couldn't make him fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jenkins was the 2nd round pick in the regular draft. Jarmon's draft projection was higher until he was suspended for his senior year because of a positive test for a banned supplement. He purchased it over the counter, and self reported the violation, but the NCAA suspended him for the year anyway, so he declared for the NFL draft.

Still different kids drafted under different circumstances. Anyone who's been suspended for the year in the NCAA, doesn't have the best chance in the pros.

You are right. Nothing wrong with a little off-season optimism. That's what makes sports fun and - sometimes - bearable. And after all, Jenkins did show flashes...

LD0506 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 People were doing this months ago and didn't want to hear anything then about how it's usually your 2nd year back before you really get over a lig tear, so I don't expect to know anything one way or the other this year. But after getting bent over with the cap thing and seeing charges dismissed because "we were askin for it", I am tolerant of anything people need here to get by.

pjfootballer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The difference to me in Jenkins and Jarmon is, Jarmon looked hesitant and lost, while Jenkins looked like he was hungry and belonged in this defense. I know it was just preseason, but that's all we have to go by for Jenkins. Also, he was a rookie and still continued to come to team meetings to learn while he was on the shelf. I have no ill will against Jarmon, but I see a better, hungrier, physically better player in Jenkins than Jarmon. Also, for laughs, you can say Vinny pick vs. Shanallen pick.
