falcon057 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Coach Mike Smith hasn't commented on whether WR Michael Jenkins (shoulder) will play Sunday or not. But Jenkins' name is penciled in as a probable starter against Pittsburgh. Jenkins injured his shoulder in an intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 6. Falcons RapidReports 2 minutes ago - With DT Jonathan Babineaux suspended Sunday for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, the Falcons listed DT Trey Lewis as a starter on the unofficial depth chart. Lewis had his best preseason since Atlanta drafted him in 2007. Falcons RapidReports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 That's just the Falcons playing games. We won't be seeing Jenkins on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidious Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Is the NFL still using the Probable, Questionable, Doubtful statuses or is there new lingo now? I always wondered if there was a fine or some type of punishment if a team listed a player as "OUT" & then started him. I would imagine the mafia would also be ticked & would put as hit out on a team for doing so due to losing money on bets. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner2endZone Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Dam! I wish the USS Babineaux was playing. I can't believe that crap he got into. That's so selfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnFalcon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 As much as some of us are disappointed with Jenkins production, it is going to hurt not having him in the lineup this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKH5785 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Jenkins hasn't been a proper threat when healthy, why are fans expecting him to be coming off a shoulder injury against one of the leagues more physical defenses.If he does play, he will be a non-factor against that Steelers secondary.

LADBABY Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 As much as some of us are disappointed with Jenkins production, it is going to hurt not having him in the lineup this week.If Finn catches 2 or 3 balls it is a wash. I hope Jenkinsis ready but if he isn't we should still be o.k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Jenkinsis ready but if he isn't we should still be o.k.This says a lot about what we expect out of Jenkins.If an old double ACL tear 4th WR can catch 2-3 balls at the #2 slot, then it would be a wash with Jenkins being out, they says a lot about how far away this offense is from having a legitimate #2 WR threat.

No where did I say that he would be ignored!Have you ever had a dislocated shoulder? Have you ever had a torn muscle in your shoulder? Have you ever had one of the two and tried to play WR? I have!All I'm saying is that he will be fresh off a shoulder injury, don't look for him to make a huge impact against one of the leagues more physical defenses. He struggles to make huge impacts against strong defensive teams when he is healthy.Anybody they put over there in the #2 slot is going to have a defender, and is going to block somebody, it doesn't make Jenkins better than anyone else.

It says more about what we expect out of:Turner, Norwood, Douglas, White and Gonzalez. There are not enough balls to go around. What is to keep one or more of thosecatches from being game winners? Finn is taller than Jenkins andred zone catches are important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Damn Eagle Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 It can be viewed both ways.I just choose to view it as a telling factor of how much we need a proper threat as our #2 WR.Totally agree. Replace Jenkins with a real #2 and see what happens. EVERYONE will get more catches because there's more people to cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn is taller than Jenkins andred zone catches are important!not enough balls to go around???? thats not entirly true, offenses only get a cretain amount of posessions in a game, its up to a defense to get the ball back to the offense to get more opprotunities to score(more balls to players)... how do u think manning passed for 4000+ yards and addia still had 1000+ yards in the same season, look at the vikings as well, all there key players had career years... i dnt believe in the ''theres not enough balls'' **** Arizona had three WR with 1000+ yards, i kno they throw the ball, but its not about scheme, im just talking about how many balls they dished out to players....so i think if the defense can just continue to get off the field on third downs, this offense will flourish even more then 08.....

sharky Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I hope he plays well, I've been a fan of his since he came into the league. He's got the size I think we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris30277 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Lewis showed a lot of potential his rookie year before he got hurt. He has basiclly come out of left field to make the team this year, but he has had the potential the whole time. If he plays like he should be able to, Babineux comes back and plays like he always does, and we get solid production from Jerry and Peters; our interior rotation will be nasty.
