| Re: wrong restructuring?
In the end, this would come down to your opinion of how good Thomas and Jansen are likely to be over the next 3 years or so.
If you don't like their chances of playing well, then it makes sense you wouldn't like the move.
I happen to think Randy Thomas is the best lineman on our team, on offense or defense. Samuels gets the glory as the LT and rightfully so, but Randy has been key to our run blocking as he's the only guy that can get around the edge and mow people down in space. His biggest asset is his speed, and a soft-tissue muscle injury shouldn't affect that.
As for Jansen, I can understand the concern after seeing his leg turn into a pretzel in week 1 against Miami. We should be able to cut him after the 2009 season and save some cap space. I still like him, but I can understand the concern with him. |
