Imagine how much I could eat at one sitting. They should pair him and Brick together. I could see him gaining some weight. man, I wish i could be 360 lbs. Imagine how much I could eat at one sitting.

I read the JEts were hoping hed egt to 360. Hell 335 is to light. Big TEd is way over 350. Ill take 350 , 360in a heartbeat, Block up the middle , male the RB go outside, string him out to the sideline 335 pounds Get real. I read the JEts were hoping hed egt to 360. Hell 335 is to light.

If there was a stat for 'double-teams neutralized' than that would be the only one I'd care about. With the emergence of a solid NT in Pouha last season, Mangini will have the luxury of using Pouha to keep Jenkins fresh, and keep him happy by not being overworked. And as for the article....335 pounds? Maybe at the rookie combine in 2001. He ballooned to close to 400 pounds, which isn't terrible considering his body frame is immense as it is. A realistic weight where he can eat space while still being explosive is around 360. As long as I don't see Jenkins being pushed backwards into Harris on 2 out of 3 plays than I consider this experiment a success.

Hopefully Tangini has done this hw and these guys will pay dividends. Harvlis, gotta take risks to be rewarded. Hopefully Tangini has done this hw and these guys will pay dividends.

I hope Jenkins is a mauler but, this is an experiment. Same with Woody. Gave both these players lots of money after years of injury & mediocrity. Good luck, Tangini.

The one thing we have to do not just with Jenkins but also with guys like Faneca and Woody is plan for their replacements. I don't see us getting any more than 2 -3 years out of any one of them, so drafting competant replacements is essential or we'll be back to where we were.

Robertson was playing out of position and many times was neutralized by a single linemen particularly in the red zone and short yardage formations. I'd like to keep him though in the rotation providing he'd take a cut in pay, possibly move him around on the line. Jenkins should also help keep guard of Harris. Although, Harris excelled without a big man in the middle, the second year should make him a beast(this is a compliment)while he is mastering the system. I'm still waiting for added depth on the OLB, and CB position, this is definitely a few steps in the right direction. For the record, I also like the addition of Pace.
