"I was kind of from a coaching style, I was brought up a little bit different," Jenkins said following Tuesday's practice at the NovaCare Complex. "Where most mistakes that teammates make or players make were brought up more in a team setting. The approach here is more in the individual rooms and that is by design. A lot of the times when things happen on the defensive side of the ball; if the secondary isn't playing well, those mistakes aren't pointed out in front of the whole entire defense. It's dealt with in the defensive back's room.
"So, a defensive lineman won't necessarily know what the mistakes were or where we need to get better at. For me, I'm a bit of a control freak. I like to know what the mistakes are and where we're trying to get better at. Obviously, Billy (Davis) and the coaching staff feels that's not my place. That's they're right and they handle it a lot differently than I've been used to."

"Me and Billy talk pretty often," Jenkins said. "I've been open about how I feel. But, I'm not a coach. That's fine. I think that this point everybody is obviously frustrated and looking for answers. Everyone is working hard to get it corrected, getting it fixed and putting this behind us.
"For me, I like to know what the specific plan is moving forward. What was the mistake? What are we trying to correct? But, that approach isn't always right. There are one thousand ways to skin a cat. That's just my personal opinion. They expressed to me why we do it the way we do it and I'm completely fine with that."
