Saints’ Malcolm Jenkins says he’s up to the challenge

“Before the draft, when we were talking about different scenarios,” Loomis said onWWL Radio,“one of the scenarios was that Malcolm could move into the nickel position because he has done that before and he does have good coverage skills.”

I know a lot of posters have been talking about this scenario; it's nice to hear that Loomis is open to it as well. I'm sure it hasn't been decided yet, but as the cards fall I think this is how it plays out. Vaccaro is a much more natural safety than Jenkins, who can thrive as our nickel IMHO.

My ultimate Cover 1 (I'm not even sure if RR plays much Cover 1 though) package would then be IAQ as the deep centerfielder, Vaccaro at strong, and Jenkins at nickel. Giggity.
