Tim Jennings

[Mark Miller]

Tim Jennings is a veteran DB who was surpisingly cut by the Bears. Could be wishful thinking but what a gift that would be if he could fill in.

Re: Tim Jennings

I think there a few factors people aren't really considering when it comes to this idea:
1. If you sign Jennings what is his role for the entire season? McKelvin is likely going on PUP which puts him out for 6 weeks, when he's back he moves into the starting line up so where does Jennings go?
2. When you move Jennings you basically take Darby from the #2 spot to the #4 spot, because he's not going to get reps over Robey who is a very good nickel CB. Are we sure we're ok with that?
3. Speaking on Darby, after McKelvin comes back you would assume Jennings would move into the Dime role that Darby would be occupying which then means that Darby becomes our #5 CB and gets even fewer reps? Not great in terms of development for our top draft pick.
4. How much is Jennings going to ask for? His last deal was 4 years and 22 million, I highly doubt he's going to want to come here and sign a 1 year deal which means committing some longer term money.

I'd pass on Jennings personally.

Re: Tim Jennings

Darby will get plenty of help. The whole idea for this D is for Gilmore to be on his own and coverage rolled to the other side. It would happen even if that overrated scrub mckelvin was starting too. understand whats going on and stop crying like little *****es in here.

Re: Tim Jennings

I think McKelvin is done for the season. The guy is on a scooter. Darby is not even close to game ready. Do we need Darby "developing" when we are a legitimate playoff team? We need to bring someone in and Jennings would be a good fit.

Darby's issue isn't one that he needs help for. He's got good coverage position for the most part.

agreed...not saying he's a stud just yet. just saying he will be getting help and hopefully grow into the position.

No I know, and I'm not trying to be argumentative. What I mean is that Darby's biggest issue is something that we really can't help him with except to deal with the pain a little bit. He struggles to turn his head and locate the ball. Ideally he's playing more soft zone coverage in the slot all season and learning from guys like McKelvin, Gilmore, and Robey but with McKelvin's injury we don't have that luxury which means he's going to get targeted and beat a lot.

Re: Tim Jennings

we should bring him in... need a little experience while mcklevin is down. he could also mentor darby.

oh I hear you and agree. Instincts are tough to teach. I remember McKelvin having that issue too. Losing site of the ball. Let's hope Rex dials it up on D to help him and mask it up.
