Sports Talk on WWL with Bobby Herbert, Kristian Garic and Mike Detillier had the chance to speak with one of the greatest defensive line coaches in football history, Pete Jenkins. Saints co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielson has a very close relationship with Coach Jenkins, and they communicate often, Coach Nielson considers Pete Jenkins to be his mentor.

Jenkins said in his texts from Ryan Nielson that he has been “so up and down”. He also added that Nielson texts him the day after the games and says he is “disappointed in our technique, disappointed how we played.” He also added the lack of effort and playing slow.
