Without the homer scouting report, what is the general consensus on Jenkins' ability to be the starting LDE? Idk how to judge last season, only to assume with a yer since his injury/experience he should be able to make an impact this season right?

Also, what do you all think about Merling?

If I had to take a wild guess with Carriker, I'd say it was a setback. We'll see how that works out. Jenkins didn't play as well as I thought he would last year, but I think he was still recovering from his rookie season injury. Hopefully he's fully healthy this year and ready to make a strong impact.

As far as Merling goes, he's been a bust to this point, given where he was drafted and the expectations. I think he's a camp body right now, but if he works hard and impresses he could end up with a roster spot. I wouldn't really count on him to fill a major role right now though.
