Good old Jenks caught three passes for 30 yards and had the game winning Touchdown with 4 minutes left to go in the game.

Outstanding clutch catch tip-toeing on the sideline and into the end zone in a comeback win. Tampa Bay is a team full of cunts.

I think he means that they kinda play dirty. Last hits out of bounds, horse collars, facemasks, multiple holds, those kinds of things.

Michael Jenkins has had an up-and-down career as an Atlanta Falcon. He was drafted in the first round by the Falcons when Rich McKay was the General Manager. In fact, McKay traded picks to get up into the end of the first round to get Jenkins at #27. The debate on whether Jenkins has lived up to his first round potential has been debated and rehashed to death. Most of that depends on what you think a #2 wide receiver should do in an offense. The part here is the thought that Jenkins was drafted to be a number 1 wide receiver, not a #2.

Roddy White was still in college when McKay pulled the trigger to get up and grab Jenkins. His physical tools are off the chart at 6?4, 217 and supposedly having speed to burn. His production, however, is another story altogether. His best year in terms of yards receiving was Matt Ryan?s rookie year with 777 yards, but his best year in terms of touchdowns was in 2006 with 7 TDs. Seemingly, the arrival of Tony Gonzalez has meant a decrease in production for Jenkins.

In 7 years as an Atlanta Falcon, he has only nabbed 20 total TDs and only hauled in 50 or more receptions 3 times, with 2 out of those three years being right at 50. Some believe that he plays the appropriate role for a 3rd target in an offense, since White is the #1 option and Gonzalez is the 2nd option. You can draw your own conclusions on if Jenkins is legit #2 receiver, but has Jenkins ever been the go-to guy when White and Gonzalez are double-covered?

David in Atlanta wonders if receiver Michael Jenkins can raise his level of play and match Roddy White?s production.

Pat Yasinskas: Short answer: No. Long answer: The Falcons aren?t looking for Jenkins to be anything like White. They?re two very different types of receivers. Jenkins is a role player. He?s a big guy, and is considered one of the top blocking receivers in the NFL. That alone gives him an important niche in Atlanta?s offense. He also is a decent possession receiver who makes some catches when needed. But he?s clearly the No. 3 option in the passing game behind White and tight end Tony Gonzalez. The Falcons might look for a speed receiver in the draft, but Jenkins? role in this offense is valued a lot more by the coaching staff than most people realize.

Question: Do you think Michael Jenkins is going to maintain as the No. 2 wide receiver this year?

Answer: I think it?s far too early to give this an in-depth answer because there?s so much that can happen between now and then, but I think Jenkins had a fantastic 2010 season despite missing much of training camp, the entire preseason and the first few weeks of the regular season. I think we saw exactly how much he means to the offense when he was on the shelf early in the season. The only reason I?m hesitant to come out with an emphatic yes has to do with the draft and what the Falcons are targeting. Word around the national media campfire is that a wide receiver could be taken within the first three rounds for the Falcons, so if that?s the case, Jenkins could have some competition heading into camp. But, I?d be very surprised if a rookie was able to unseat him in just one training camp.

This move was also about fortifying Atlanta's receivers for the future so quarterback Matt Ryan can always have a threat. White turns 30 in November. Michael Jenkins turns 29 in June. Jones turned 22 in November. This move was done just as much for Ryan's productive longevity as it was for a short-term bounce.

It just better pan out in both terms because the Falcons did give up a lot. They had no choice but to get to No. 6 to make it happen, though, because the Browns were poised to draft Jones, as well.

In looking at how aggressive this move is, I'd fully expect Atlanta to be equally as aggressive in free agency, addressing their needs at defensive end and cornerback. I don't see them going after someone like Oakland's Nnamdi Asomugha in the secondary, but Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards could definitely be on the radar.

By giving up so much to get Jones, Jenkins, a former first-round draft pick wide receiver, was also put on notice. I don't think the Falcons would dump him just because they got Jones, but they could demote him if Jones shows up in camp and performs as well as he has in postseason workouts.

I don't think the Falcons made this move thinking that Jones would be their #3 WR at any point. I think MJ is now their #3 and Jones will likely be #1 by the end of next season. On the bright side for MJ he might get more open looks with White and Jones pulling most of the coverage. That is a scary group of WR's IMO.
