falcndave Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 On Roddy's 90 yard TD, I LOVED the way Jenkins ran past two defenders to get into vastly unneeded blocking position. The things the guys do in mundane situations tell me a bunch about how this team approaches their job. Odd things happen. Guys cramp up. Guys celebrate early. Guys stumble. It is nice to know guys will work hard to get into plays. The only thing you know for certain is, "you never know." Also, what is up with Mike and those quicks? He was the fastest dude on the field for that 90 yards. Roddy was carrying the ball, but I was still shocked to see Jenkins running down that group from 4 or 5 yards back. We may have more than 1 guy with deep speed. The guy has sticky hands as well. I wouldn't mind us working him down some deep seam routes with Gonzo running a crossing pattern underneath. We have the weapons with which to injure some defenses. Yesterday's confidence infusion may be bigger than any of us know. I don't put a lot of substance to beating the 9ers. However, the confidence gained in the process may be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazz77 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I was thinking the same thing when I saw that I said to myself Jenkins deserves mad props for that. The commentators mentioned it later in the game how they knew Roddy was fast but he and Jenks looked amazing outrunning the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Lee Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Jenkins has always had awesome straight line speed. The guy was a huge HS track guy in central florida as well as in the Big 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseofEuphoria Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 LOL he wasnt exactly running either...more like jogging.Jenkins has been a true professional for the Falcons. He doesnt complain about 'not getting enough balls thrown his way' or the fact that he's rarely mentioned in the 'Falcons offensive weapons' list. Be thankful this guy is on our team.
