Really and truly, how good is Cullen Jenkins? I've heard him mentioned all the way from "just a guy" to "best player on the team" or "most disruptive player on the team (in a good way)". If I remember correctly, Jim Bates loved him when he came in. I've read this board go different ways on him too.
I'm just curious about where he stacks up across the league in terms of ability and impact. What other DE is he like?
The thing that got me thinking about that was in the Cleveland game where he speed rushed around Joe Thomas for (I think it was) a sack. I tend to expect Jenkins to be more of a bull rush, quick move inside kind of rusher, so that speed rush around the edge surprised me. Is he that good? Was Joe Thomas caught flat footed on one play only? What's the deal?
