IMO, he has made more timely/costly mistakes this year than anyone else.  He's fumbled 2 punts, fumbled a kickoff, and had one of the key penalties in the USM game last week.  If I was an OC for an opposing team, I'd go right at this guy knowing that he's going to make either a physical or mental mistake.  I cringe when I see a play going his way.Part of this has to go back to coaching.  Why would a player with so many miscues continue to be on the field in crucial situations? I might be able to stomach this if he was a Freshman, but he's a seasoned Senior.  I'd rather tolerate these mistakes from someone who is learning his role.  I understand that CJL has loyalties to his upperclassmen, but please, #19 needs to be on the sidelines, more than on the field.

As Jenkins continues to develop he'll be the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
