?

pretty sure he's commenting on the 'wood slur by association, not as a movie industry guy. he's a music producer, I believe.

nothing wrong with that interview

looked a bit overwhelmed

He needs to be put in motion a ton until he improves on handling the jam at the LOS

Reid and Dorsey are both saying Jenkins looks good in practice. It seems the 49ers thought he practiced well too.

This has me wondering if AJ Jenkins has a Danica Patrick problem.

Danica Patrick is a fast qualifier. She starts near the front because she is blistering on an empty track. Then you throw in traffic, and she goes cautious and can't pass and can't hold off other racers. On an empty track, she is a champion. In a real race, she is an also-ran who almost never podiums.

Now AJ is getting praise for practice in non-contact drills. Give him contact, and he crumbles.

I don't think this is coach-able. I guess we'll see.

On that we agree. And now teams know enough that if you are physical with him at all, hes done for.

9ers always get the best of us. If I had $$$$ on this I say they probably did it again. At least it's the 9ers

how do they know that? From the 3 games and one target he has? Or are we maybe just spinning our wheels for no ****ing reason.

I think there is far more we don't now about AJ than we do... He is a lottery ticket, nothing more.

We have seen it. Look at the pass he dropped against the Chiefs. Sean Smith barely touched him yet he dropped the ball and went flying backwards like he had been blown up by DJ....

49ers fans watched him while running a route that was specifically drawn for him, get blasted by a linemen, who wasn't even looking at him, but again he looked like he got hit by a TRUCK.

We have not seen a lot of aj Jenkins, but in his limited time, its not been good. His one catch, he fumbled, his one opportunity last year in a regular season game no one within 10 yards of him, perfectly placed he dropped.

Teams do not give up on first round picks that quickly unless they see no upside at all.

If you cant be physically tough on a team like the 49ers who instills toughness as a fundamental property, then I don't have much faith in that player.

For the record, Jon Baldwin isn't going to last long in SF either.

Williams played three years in NO.

I don't know where you got a total of two years played for him

he was pretty good down there. Must of gotten burned out by Ditka putting him in a wedding dress....

I'm not defending the guy, or saying he is going to be great....but the sample size it too small and your authoritative tone are laughable.

I guess. Im not trying to be authoritative. Nothing makes me more frustrated than a guy with true ability, that doesn't make use of it. Im sure that is a lot of the frustration with Baldwin for Chiefs fans. The POTENTIAL for him had to seem boundless when he was drafted by the Chiefs.

Aj Jenkins was supposed to come in and team with Crabs and give the 49ers an explosive set of receivers. But then he came in out of shape, refused an offer from the GOAT in Jerry Rice, then could only play in 3 games after manningham went down for the year.

its not good. And he hasn't really ever shown the desire to get better. If anything to be honest, he looks worse this year, than he did last year. Last year in preseason you could see the speed, and hands a little bit. This year, was just bad.

Sorry if I have an authoritative tone towards a bust of a first round wr that I had hope for.

Can't believe this thread is still going.

99% of informed Chiefs fans are not sorry to see Baldwin go. His absence creates a roster spot for another WR. Whether it's Jenkins or some URFA that no one has ever heard of, it really doesn't matter.

That's Jon Baldwin's problem, too. Looks GREAT in practice! He's a completely different player in the games, though.

It's looking more and more like all the Chiefs and Niners did was waste two airline tickets sending these guys to their new teams.

Yup. Exactly.

I'm sure Baldwin is a bust. These are just two bums with new scenery before they get jobs at Mickey D's or somewhere.

Looking more and more based on what?

Neither one should need to work again if they are smart with money.

Practice heros, big game zeros. Both players.

Oh ok.


I'm hoping a system change will help, seems Reid and co liked Jenkins coming out.

Likely they'll never be anything though

So, we go from Baldwin, Breaston, and Bowe to Donnie, Dexter, and Devon.

Killer B's to the D-minuses.

But they are much better than the Packers or Saints weapons....

I look at it this way with the exact same expectations.

The Chiefs flushed a pioli turd that was a waste of a roster spot and filled it with an UDFA who happened to be a former first rounder. No risk. if he pans out, awesome. If he doesn't, hope he enjoys his job at sizzler.

Regardless. I believe this next draft is going to be littered with Offensive players.......

qb, wr, interior olinemen.

I still liked what Steve Breaston did for this team. I think we could really use him right now, and that we shouldn't have cut him. Bowe, Avery, Breaston isn't nearly as shitty as Bowe, Avery, and... Jenkings? Hemingway? Wylie?

No, I have always like Breaston. Perfect 3rd down receiver type. Avery and Bowe on the outside Breaston on the inside. Would of been nice.

Didn't Breaston just get cut again?

He did. The Chiefs should bring him back.

I'm still full (wolverine) homer on Hemingway.

There has to be more to the Breaston story. He didn't last 2 weeks with New Orleans. Wonder if there's an injury or something.

Chances are you'll be right, but it's a little silly to evaluate a change of scenery when the scenery was only changed a few days ago.

Yes. Something is up with Breaston, he's either got an injury or his cheese slid off his cracker. There is a reason he didn't see the field for the Chiefs as down as they were and he was already cut this year....I'd guess he is done.

His knees = hamburger helper.

I liked the pick too.

we still need a vertical threat though.


if we don't stretch the defenses deep then our offense will go into a shell again.

Donnie Avery. Unfortunately the 49er trash doesn't have the arm strength to get it to him.

Clay?

I fully believe that Donnie Avery was the real #2 for the past couple of weeks. I think both teams knew going into the game that this trade was possible.

Really, have you EVER seen Baldwin get that many targets? And Jenkins was had a ton of snaps against our first team. Flowers and Smith both were covering him. He was targeted 4 times, I think.

The coaching staffs knew they were going to make this trade, so they got together and agreed to show the other guy some specific stuff.

"Hey Jim! I'm gonna show you that Baldwin has no hands. Specifically."

Although Kaep and Harbs are saying he has "great" hands.

Taking that with a Mountain of salt. Harbs has been known to lavish praise on guys early in the off-season to get their confidence up.

More like "I want to give him press coverage and see if he can run a slant."

"I'll throw a slant your way."

"Cool. You want to see the deep ball?"

"Not really a concern with Alex."

"Don't I know it!"

LOL.

I've got 13 niner fodder on my ignore list and counting.

I feel like I've been a pretty solid poster here. But to each his own I suppose.

And yet we still suffer you....

Kap is going to make Baldnuts look like a ****ing star.

Pssst...Guys, this is a CHIEFS board. No one curr

Ninja please. GTFO.

Get out of my state.


Also this was a terrible trade. If we cut him we have to pay for it whereas if we cut Baldwin it would have been worth nothing.

Don't worry that idiot is a Jaguars fan who crashed in here and somehow is now masquerading as a Chiefs fan.

LMAO, you live in J-ville. If we could, we'd give you to Georgia but they wont take that shithole

Well, Gabbert did go to Mizzou. So there's that.

Hey man. How are you going to diss a place that gave us such great musical acts as Limp Bizkit and Cold?

"It's the ennd of the wooooooooorlld!"

Please add me.

LMAO

I really liked Breaston coming in. Too bad he got "Chief'd". JFC, this franchise...

Maybe Spain would take it back? Just tell them it's got gold and natives for them to enslave. Oh, and the fountain of youth! They fall for that one every time.

This thread gave me more than a few good laughs.

Has anyone signed Brandon Lloyd yet? If not we most certainly could use the guy.

Dunno what our cap situation is like, or what he'd be demanding if he's available.

I did too. I couldn't believe they "Chiefd" him either.

We've got tree-fiddy

Imagine Clark is Chris Rock and the store owner is an NFL free agent...

**** the cup; po' it in my hand!

Can you break a hundred?

That depends, is Haley the OC?...

LMAO:LOL:

Todd Haley is the most overrated coach in Pro football. Bar none.

There's that Eddie Izzard joke where he says, "It's 10% what you say, 20% how you look, but 70% how you say it."

Todd Haley's got the 70% down pretty well. Yelling seems to be an easy way to convince people that you're competent.

@LRiddickESPN: More I think about it, the more I like the fit between AJ Jenkins and the #Chiefs offense. Hope the kid shows well tonight.

@LRiddickESPN: Coach Reid has some great ideas/ concepts as to how to get a speedster like Jenkins open in the deep part of the field.

Hope he has some great ideas/concepts to get him the ball in the deep part of the field too.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------don't understand what the problem is with Lloyd.

A guy that talented has to be quite the annoying douche to not be able to keep a job.

He would help us a bunch unless he is just unable to get along with anybody.

Bowe - big body/possession
Lloyd - speed guy
Avery - speed guy
McCluster - gadget
Hemmingway - possession

WR lineup looks so much better with Lloyd in there

Hopefully Reid can get something out of Jenkins

There ya go.

much like Baldwin ... he has the physical talent and measurables

Draft Scout Snapshot: A closer look at the 49ers' picks: Round 1/30 -- A.J. Jenkins, WR, 6-0, 190, Illinois...Jenkins caught 90 passes last year, nearly half of starting quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase's completions. BEST PICK Wide receiver A.J. Jenkins: Their best pick may be their first. While the team is stacked with receivers, Jenkins is the only one, other than former first-round choice Michael Crabtree, who could be a future No. 1 receiver. So far, Crabtree has been a disappointment as the receiving bell cow and his disappearance in the playoffs did not help him. Jenkins appears to be what Crabtree is not and that's a gym rat who will make time to put in extra work with quarterback Alex Smith. - The Sports Xchange

LMAO I'm sure where you live there are less people born there than those that moved there. Proof that city is trash.

Granted

Sounds exciting. Is he hiding a real QB somewhere in the Arrowhead facility and not telling anybody about him?

Yep, he seems to be a much better fit in this type offense.

Not holding my brew, but there is obviously talent there

LMAO

There's an even older saying that goes "once you've used up all your NFL connections, fail, and keep being an insufferable prick you're done."

The Steelers are his last stop.

As a favor...

The news everybody has been waiting for!

Eh, you never know.

Looking at film of Jenkins or at least what I could find, he's definitely a much better route runner than Baldwin ever was. Much more fluid in and out of breaks.


Just gotta get him off the line of scrimmage
