Mike Jenkins, Derrick Ward and the Dallas Cowboys Season

I have been asked to do the impossible, to defend Dallas Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins for his sheer cowardice in not attempting to tackle Derrick Ward. However, as a maverick, I shall pull the Palin defense and completely dodge the question by talking about something else.

There is absolutely nothing to say about the Jenkins non-tackle. He’s a professional, a grown man, and he should act like it. I am more concerned with the overall picture and a bigger question. What happened to the Dallas Cowboys this season?

It is clear that there is a major problem with the team. Some point to the injuries that have decimated the team.

Yet the injury excuse does not truly explain the disaster that is the Dallas Cowboys season.

Even before the injuries, the Cowboys were not playing well. The loss to the Washington Redskins was something that did not have to happen. The game against the Arizona Cardinals did not need to end as it did. Even the win against Chad Ocho-Cinco Johnson and the Cincinnati Bengals was relatively weak.

Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins Video | Ducks Derrick Ward, Quits on Play, Misses Tackle

All day today while listening to sports talk radio in Dallas I heard references to rookie Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins completely quitting on a play and ducking Giants RB Derrick Ward. I figured it was just typical overreaction from the Dallas media after a Cowboys loss.

Umm…I don’t think anyone was overreacting.

The video evidence of Mike Jenkins completely wussing out is available for your viewing pleasure below. FYI — the second view at the end of the video is much more damning.

I must warn you, this video does contain visual evidence of an NFL player completely misplacing his testicles. If there ever was one play that summed up an entire season for a team, this is it. Squizz Jorgensen — you right-wing, holier-than-thou, Cowboys apologist — I am anxiously awaiting your defense of Mike Jenkins after watching this video:
