Am starting to think he's washed up. I know he's the "1st team DT" right now..... But something doesn't seem right with him. Thoughts?
His role should probably be

pass rushing DT. They've been playing him out at end as I think they are giving both him and Kuhn every chance to make the team.

I don't think Kuhn is an NFL player. There is a chance, Jenkins isn't either at this stage in his career. I'm leaning with going with Hankins, Bromley and Ellis with some defensive ends bumping inside. If one of these guys get's hurt, you can probably find a vet tackle.
Also my impression. Think the desire to play is still there but the

body just can't do it. With Kuhn getting starts with the 1st team, the whole thing is curious. Imo the two are tied together; which one stays.
Agreed, there's a noticeable lack of burst

He's getting older, no surprise.
Do the position coaches decide who starts?  
aquidneck : 8/30/2015 10:09 am : link
The coordinator?

The HC?

Assume they all have eyes, expertise and a process that works somewhat better than random observations of fans.

So why then are Kuhn and Jenkins still cast in these seemingly inappropriate roles?
Kuhn ?

Did he play much after the first series or two besides specials?
I don't

think he's first-team DT anymore. He's been first-team DE. He gets some DT snaps in pass rush situations.

Yes.... I meant 1st team DE/dline
Cooked as an every down DT

Here are the DT's we have on the team currently aside from Hankins:

Kuhn
Jenkins-cooked
Bromley-can't beat the other team's second string
Staten- last seen turned around and going backwards against Jet's #3's
Hamilton-who?

That's it.

He's at best a situational DT on pass rush situations. Your own write up from last year says that he missed four games, and had 16 tackles with 1 sack in 12 games, and 11 starts. I think he's done. I'd cut him and Kuhn, and pick up a veteran DT from another team. We could go with three DT on the active roster, as long as we kept one on the PS.
Jenkins and Kuhn are mediocre

One is a has been the other a never was. Hankins/Bromley/Ellis are the top 3 talents. Another guy will make this team.
