SiperBowl Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 We could use a quality receiver like Michael Jenkins. He finishes his seven year Falcons career with 276 catches for 3,512 yards, a 12.7 yards per catch average and 20 touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 We could use a quality receiver like Michael Jenkins. He finishes his seven year Falcons career with 276 catches for 3,512 yards, a 12.7 yards per catch average and 20 touchdowns. I just wonder, if he is such a "quality" receiver, why did the Falcons feel the need to go to such extremes as to make the trade with the Browns to replace him with AJ Jones or June Jones or whatever that guys name is. Could he be someone the Browns could look at? Perhaps. But then, I always say: think about it, when you pick someone up, you have to let someone go. Who on this roster is he to replace?: Cribbs? MoMass? Robo? Mitchell? Little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm sure that training camp will weed out the problem of who you will have to let go. Yea, OK, but hypothetically let's say that YOU are the coach/GM of the team and that you are the one that has to make that training camp decision. What do YOU do if you bring Jenkins in to compete here? Who do YOU think should be cut to keep him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do YOU do if you bring Jenkins in to compete here? Who do YOU think should be cut to keep him? I would base my decision on that after the preseason games have been played. As all of us realize their are always injuries during preseason workouts and games. But if we could bring in a guy like Jenkins he could be a mentor for some of these young guys.

Crozone Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I've personally never liked Michael Jenkins. I'd much rather pick up Malcolm Floyd or Mike Sims-Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I've personally never liked Michael Jenkins. I'd much rather pick up Malcolm Floyd or Mike Sims-Walker. Well, I have always liked Michael Jenkins since his days at OSU. That isn't the question. The question is why did the Falcons....who who believe that they may be in line for a Super Bowl run...feel that Jenkins was expendable? You would think a Super Bowl caliber team would want to maximize the talent on their team. Perhaps they thought Jenkins minimized their talent?

Momszer Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Jenkins could be a cap casualty. I don't recall the falcons cap situation. If the Browns are in the market for a WR, I'd prefer Sims-Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiperBowl Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 With the extra cap room, the Falcons will likely be able to pursue free-agent defensive end Ray Edwards. http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-falcons-blog/2011/07/29/falcons-release-former-first-rounders-anderson-jenkins/?cxntfid=blogs_atlanta_falcons_blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagitron Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 He's not quality at all. Very inconsistent and when he's consistent he's consistently not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfl2001fan Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 20 TD's over 7 years = less than 3 TD's per season. Even if you throw out the first two years...over the course of 5 seasons...that'd still be 4 TD's per year (or one per 4 games.) I'm thinking this is not the least big intriguing. I wanted Harvey Dahl...but he's apparently gone to the Rams...so don't they have another FA OL? Their LG? We could use him on our right side as well.
