First of relevance for Rams fans was a question from Max Kellerman:
Kellerman: Coming into this when the Giants gave you that huge contract, I'm a Giants fan. A big Giants fan. And my thought was, "Boy, he's a good corner, but he's like a risky corner." Just watching, you know, the Rams as much as I did, "He'll gamble. I don't know if he's a shutdown. Whoa, that's a lot of money to give a guy" who I thought of as maybe a B+ kind of corner. Watching you this year, you're playing like an A+. Now is that me not paying close enough attention, or is there actually a qualitative difference in your game this year?
Jenkins: Aw man, I can say it's kind of both. You know, I was at St. Louis, and you know, good organization, but I felt like somebody always had to make a play over there. And, I wanted to be that guy, because we were always either down by 21 or in a close game where somebody needs to make a play. To where, you know, I'm here at the Giants, and I can just play within the scheme. You know, because I depend on my offense. I know we got a good offense, and I just play within the scheme and play to the best of my ability.
Kellerman: So playing with better players has made you a better player in other words.
Jenkins: It's not better players. It's just not playing from behind all the time or not playing in a close game or things like that. Not having to jump routes because somebody gotta make a play.
Kellerman: Is that coaching staff you're talking about or organizational differences between the Giants and the Rams?
Jenkins: It's just probably, I'll just say the coordinators. They're just different.
Jenkins also touched on his recent comments suggesting that players aren't allowed to talk to Stan Kroenke:
Kellerman: As a Giants fan I've noticed that in the NFL you have some very good ownership, especially in northeastern teams with family traditions like the Maras like the Rooneys in Pittsburgh...and you were quoted recently in the last day or so as saying that Kroenke on the Rams, you weren't even supposed to look at him if he was in camp. If he was walking through, you were supposed to not even talk to him or anything like that, and you contrasted that with the culture around the Giants. Can you speak to that a little bit?
Jenkins: It's just different, man. You know, St. Louis [was] a great organization. There's nothing that was bad over there, but it's just different. Here in New York, you know, it's winning. Everybody wanna win. Everybody wanna go out and make that play that can't nobody on the other team make. You know what I mean, it just makes me feel like I'm home.
