Malcolm Jenkins: “It Doesn’t Look Like” New York Giants

Headhunter : 4/15/2014 1:10 pm
Protect Eli Manning

New Orleans Saints safety scoffed at the Giants' offseason moves, saying quarterback Eli Manning took a beating in 2013 and is poised for a repeat in 2014 because the team hasn't done enough to keep him protected.

"I think the problem is he was sacked 39 times, a career high last year. If that continues, Eli’s best days are behind him. If they can protect him, then maybe, but it doesn’t look like it," Jenkins said.

Hate to admit it but he is right...  
MikeN in Ottawa : 4/15/2014 1:19 pm : link
unless we protect significantly better, Eli will not last the season. Now, I am hoping they will address this in the draft but, even still, does anyone have any confidence at all in the turnstile named Will Beatty?

I sure don't and I do not believe they have done enough at center either.
I find it so funny that people need to comment on this....  
GiantBlue : 4/15/2014 1:19 pm : link
He didn't say anything new or that was hidden in the film and he doesn't say anything about the future with any certainty. Just shut up! WOW!
He's a 100% correct.  
DeVito 32 : 4/15/2014 1:21 pm : link
They still need to upgrade the OL to protect Eli.
If he was that smart  
old man : 4/15/2014 1:23 pm : link
then who did he want the Giants to sign so that in his mind the Giants DID do enough, given our $1.98 cap space?
BDP? Monroe? Mack? Oher?

This guy talking shit like he's some impact player ? He was a top 15 pick for the Saints and was considered a bust for them, guy has 5 INTs in his career lol Rolle had 6 last season alone
I completely agree.  
Emlen'sGremlins : 4/15/2014 1:44 pm : link
We need a 1988 like first two rounds.
That's not talking shit, unless you've got low ass standards.  
Riggies : 4/15/2014 1:48 pm : link
Or one of the delusional that think a guy like Walton is a huge upgrade and the corpse of Snee is going to rebound significantly.

Eli's got a really tall task at hand, when it comes to bouncing back, and the probable roster that's going to be around him isn't remotely likely to do anything but make it taller.
I suppose it's too much to ask...

MJ is spot on. If the line doesnt improve, Eli will continue to suffer.

AnishPatel : 4/15/2014 2:13 pm : link
staff are signed for 2 years. So we better have success this upcoming year. If we fuck up OR if we need more years I think that doesn't bode well for Eli or TC.
the debateable point if you read what he said is  
Headhunter : 4/15/2014 2:17 pm : link
that he doesn't think that the Giants will protect him. So Schwartz, Walton, drat pick(s), doesn't matter, Malcolm Jenkins doesn't think they will protect Eli

He is absolutely right. Walton and Schwartz are not significant upgrades over Booth and Baas (sorry but it's the truth). Snee is a year older and his insurance policy is a less than impressive John Jerry. Beatty was abysmal in 2013.

Hard to expect the Giants offense to be much better than a year before but there is still the draft and at least we improved on defense and special teams.
In 63 career starts with the Saints Jenkins has 6 INTs and 38 PDs.  
BlueLou : 4/15/2014 2:27 pm : link
The same # of INTs Rolle had last year. I'm guessing this guy should STFU or at least start performing up to his current contract with the Iggles or his former draft position, 14th overall.

OK but maybe he knows how bad Charles Brown suxity?
Pardon SoKilla,

Why do some think Jenkins' value as a player  
Mad Mike : 4/15/2014 2:32 pm : link
impacts the merit of his opinion? He could be a pretty sucky player and still be able to accurately identify problems with Giants' offensive line. And what he's saying is hardly an uncommon opinion - seems pretty silly the way some posters are bashing him for it.
Mike it's less questioning the validity of his opinion  
BlueLou : 4/15/2014 2:36 pm : link
(at least in my case it is) than saying as an underachiever maybe he shouldn't be talking shit, period?
Jenkins is from Piscataway, NJ  
wgenesis123 : 4/15/2014 2:38 pm : link
He probably has followed the Giants closely for years.
Last I checked, none of us are pro football players  
Moondwg : 4/15/2014 2:39 pm : link
and yet, we have opinions, often stated much less effectively than Jenkins'. Who cares how talented he is?

Care to qualify that "truth" as you put it regarding Walton and Schwartz? My dead grandmother is an upgrade over Baas, and Booth was VERY average or slightly below, whereas Schwartz was a highly-regarded FA.

Snee is what he is; who would you have replaced him with in FA? Jerry et al are cheap rental depth. Beatty was above average in 2011/12.

Finally, there will be lots of opportunity after the draft to pick up some reasonable quality OL as teams cast off vets for recently-drafted rookies.

So, what do you say there, Slick?
Let them all talk......  
Simms11 : 4/15/2014 2:57 pm : link
Eli needs to use all this banter as added fuel, as if he already didn't have enough to get better this year. Eli will be fine with better protection, a few new receiving threats, a better running game and a new offense!

I would love for them all to eat crow and I think Eli will be poised to do just that.
He is ....  
Ed A. : 4/15/2014 3:13 pm : link
an eagle. Ergo, he is assimilating into his new environment. Typical Philadelphia New York envy. Say it so it will come true. Take this guy with a grain of salt. Steps to improve the OL has already been made and the off season is far from being finished. Let's get to training camp, then we will see.
He's right  
Phil in LA : 4/15/2014 3:17 pm : link
we're not going anywhere till we fix the OL.

Neverend : 4/15/2014 6:18 pm : link
In the saints preparation for Carolina, they (like the rest of the nfl) saw that debacle of a 38-0 beatdown of the panthers against the giants.

Anybody who played Carolina saw that tape. Damn.

Apparently neither you or Jenkins know there is a draft or grasp the moves made to the OL already. Whine
I agree the Giants O line was not good, but Eli also got sacked  
GeofromNJ : 4/16/2014 10:35 am : link
because his TE had no separation ability, his slot receiver was doubled because Nicks was a non-factor, and he had no safety valve running back to dump off to. Hopefully these three deficiencies will be addressed this year in addition to the improved O line.

apparently your lack of reading comprehension rears it's ugly head, again. Jenkins mentioned that last season Eli had a career worst 39 sacks, he was correct, I commented, guess?
I haven't watched much tape this year so I'm shooting  
BlueLou : 4/16/2014 11:26 am : link
from what I see people writing about the OL depth this draft and what type of OL players might be "plug and play".

IF the Giants are confident that Beatty can and will rebound, and also that Charles Brown is at least an adequate swing OT reserve...

The Giants might very well be able to shore up their OL with players from the board at their 2nd and 3rd round slots...

Guys like Bitonio (sp?) or Jackson or Richburg or, whomever, like I said I don't know enough about the individual players. But I'm willing to lay an even money bet that in today's NFL a shitload of WRs are gonna be drafted before our 3rd round pick, likely a fair # of them even before our 2nd round pick, and that should push quality OL - especially quality OGs and OCs, back to where we can land one that's capable of starting as a rookie even in the 3rd round.

So I think Jenkins is reaching at this point.

Also, and I've said it before, I think the Giants are very, very likely to hold off on the WR pool this year until a later round, because I think they like RR's chance of being a very solid X for them this year.
He may be right...  
Chris in Philly : 4/16/2014 11:29 am : link
but I look forward to playing that loser. The Dhani Jones of safeties.
We signed arguably the top OG on the market  
GmenDynasty : 4/16/2014 11:41 am : link
and then possibly the most talented OC available (not counting Mack who was an RFA). he was paid starter money and Im assuming the prognosis on full recovery is very good for Walton.

I would say we made some headway here.

Lastly we are likely going with one OL in the top 3 rounds (likely round 2 is my guess) in a very,very deep draft for lineman. Chances are we are going to get a near immediate starter from the draft too.

BlueLou : 4/16/2014 11:44 am : link
not even close on Walton, do your homework.

It's half of what he said and neither he nor you apparently understand the moves made already and the upcoming draft. Even heads of lettuce know it's only April.
