Hear me out on this one. I know Jenkins is a source of frustration to some, and that is not off-base, but he is the boom-or-bust type. While I would like to see the bust part be less frequent, Jenkins is still a solid corner. It was just a few years ago when Rams nation watched in delight as Janoris picked off four balls and took three to the end zone. That playmaking ability is still there. Lets not forget, Jenkins was a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate way back when. Jenkins created four turnovers last year (two INT, 2 fumbles) and with another year under Williams, will be more comfortable. Factor in the emergence of EJ Gaines and TJ McDonald and opponents may sleep on Jenkins. A return to form could be in the cards in 2015.
