sporkdevil Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Michael Jenkins with an illness?Now that's interesting because lately he hasn't been able to catch anything.I would tell you that's funny, but you beat me in FF. And I'm a shallow and bitter person who just won't let small things slide.However, Snelling back is great. I'd love to see him get 10-15 carries tomorrow, and move Booker to the number 2 spot (like we needed an "illness" reason to do it) and see how it goes. Seems like Ryan has pretty good chemistry with the ol vet, and we really need something to jump start the passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozoatl Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Michael Jenkins with an illness?Now that's interesting because lately he hasn't been able to catch anything.True. He probably has a slight case of slick palms or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 True. He probably has a slight case of slick palms or something like that.I got a bad case of slick palms one time after eating some Lebanese cole slaw at an outdoor cafe' in Miami....Well, maybe not slick palms, but.......too much information?

Basically, we would bench Jenkins, but it's not like we would be missing him on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins is good as long as we are a run first team. He was pretty clutch all last year for us in the pass game, but he is a big physical blocker which is why he earned his pay day.

Dayum good blocker.Great point, I completely forgot about his blocking abilities...I've been so focused on the passing game.We need the passing game to come to life this week...they've got to get better if we want to compete with the Giants, Saints, and Eagles...two of those games which could indeed have wild card implications.

He's had a good case of the runs past two weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
