Why Mike Jenkins regressed.

[Bob Sacamano]

No, it's not Campo. It's not Coach P running primarily zone coverage. It's due to the simple fact that Mike Jenkins is a lazy SOB. Coming out of college, there were rumors seemingly confirmed now, that the dude needed coaches to get on his ass for him to play to his potential. Now go back to the offseason when Jenkins told the world that he's comfortable where he was at after his phenominal 2009 campaign. He basically forewarned us all that he wasn't going to work hard this year, and look at the results. Dude needs to get Victor Butler'd.

He needs a coach who will get in his face when things go wrong, not some midget with curly hair looking up at him.

Looking like Harpo Marx. But it's not just Jenkins, it's Newman as well.

But everyone was talking about how hard he worked all offseason, and how good he looked during training camp.

I recall him getting dinged up a couple times in the first game or two, one of them was a knee thing. I wonder how much that affected him this yr.

Newman should of been gone 3-4 yrs ago. He was never the db that they "thought" they were getting. BOTH need to be gone. Along with the curly haired midget.

and 31 other teams would have lined up to get him...

Sweet, spruce him up and see if Dallas can get some picks for him. Along with others on defense.

Because, if you think 1, let alone 31 other teams would want him, trade him.

Newman's always been overrated. He was over aged in college playing against kids 3 and 4 years younger than him. Once he got to the NFL, the maturity level caught up and he got exposed for what he is. A good cover guy with lousy ball skills.

One of the worst draft picks in the history of this franchise. You can talk about busts and Newman wasn't one. But with the 5th overall pick in the draft, to come away with a decent cornerback, that is just awful. I can find half a dozen Terence Newmans in the middle rounds of every draft.

This isn't hindsight. I hated the selection the moment it was made.

Right.Samuel and Terence McGee were both taken in the middle/late 4th round in the same draft.

Asomugha was taken 31st,Polamalu was there until 16(Polamalu not a corner,I know)

Just out of curiosity, are there any picks we've made the past 10 years you do like?
