VIDEO: Malcolm Jenkins Has Incredible NSFW Response to Orlando Scandrick Trash Talking the Eagles
By Michael Luciano
Despite playing most of Philly's defensive snaps and even grading out as Pro Football Focus' best player of Week 5, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to part ways with veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick. The player appeared on FS1's "Undisputed" in the aftermath and trashed just about everyone in the organization, pointing fingers at GM Howie Roseman, head coach Doug Pederson, and safety Malcolm Jenkins, who he believed escaped criticism for blowing coverages. Jenkins was perfectly clear in his response, asserting the Eagles don't need Scandrick around.

No walking that back.
Scandrick mentioned that he is close friends with Eagles corner Rasul Douglas, who has taken the brunt of the blame for Philadelphia's poor secondary alongside Sidney Jones.
Jenkins has proven himself to be an elite safety in this league, but he is far from perfect, so maybe there is some kernel of truth in Scandrick's scathing tea-spilling. In the meantime, Jenkins is having none of it.

While Jenkins has been far from perfect, calling him out as the weak link on an Eagles team that has several massive holes at key spots all over the field sounds a bit petty and vindictive from Scandrick.
