Giants' Jenkins annoyed by usage: 'Rabbit doesn't travel anymore'

Janoris Jenkins questioned his season-long usage after the cornerback endured an eighth straight loss Sunday with the New York Giants.

"You've got to use your weapons," the veteran said following the 31-13 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, according to SNY's Ralph Vacchiano. "I'm the only one in the league that doesn't travel (with the opponent's top receiver). I don't understand why."

Jenkins, a former Pro Bowler, was part of a secondary that conceded four touchdowns to Aaron Rodgers and company in Week 13. He wasn't in coverage on either of the touchdowns scored by Davante Adams, the Packers' top wideout.

Without Jenkins shadowing the Pro Bowler, Green Bay picked on youngsters DeAndre Baker and Sam Beal in coverage.

"It's common sense," Jenkins added. "I'm on the left side of the field all game. I get two passes thrown my way. All the top corners in the league travel. Rabbit doesn't travel anymore."

Jenkins had allowed receptions on 32 of 61 targets prior to Week 13, leading to 421 yards and three touchdowns against him, according to PFF. He also had four interceptions and had officially been credited with 13 pass breakups.

The 31-year-old broke up one pass and had one tackle against the Packers.

When asked if he would voice his frustrations directly to defensive coordinator James Bettcher, Jenkins replied: "I don't have to complain. I have to play football."
