He did leave several games early with "dings".  With that said, he's not actually drawing double teams in Philly that much, only when there is a spare blocker or the run play is going toward him. Offenses have too much to worry about with Cole and Babin. He's now playing on a FOUR man front that plays the wide nine. Not a THREE man front. Those who say he was double teamed in Green Bay giving Clay room to romp fail to realize with a 3 man rush 5 offensive lineman and a running back can double a couple of guys. This is why the Packers need to get pressure from the LBs or the secondary. Green Bay's 3 guys' first responsibility is to "hold the line". Their second responsibility is to "get push". Their 3rd responsibility is to get to the QB. So the Packers don't want a speed pass rusher in that position any more. They want a great big guy who can man handle o-linemen. I believe it would have been better to keep Jenkins because even though he isn't the big hole plugging guy the Packers need at that position, he's a far sight better than what they are left with now. Although, had he gone down with an injury 6 games into the season we all would be singing a different tune right now. Hindsight is always 20/20</blockquote>
