Should Jansen stay in the starting lineup?

Move Jansen to Center and bring back Heyer.

Or make Rabach run laps all day today.

I think Jansen earned his spot back. Heyer will be a quality backup as long as Jon plays well.

Very tough call. With the Philly blitz coming, whoever is there will be tested. A tough call for Zorn and Buges.

The advantage in the run game is a big deal. That may sway things to Jansen.

How is our Guard play?

over the mountain · 09-29-2008, 12:11 PM

both jansen and heyer are going to get nicks and injuries as the season goes along so id say we start who ever is able to practice all week. one good thing is that it seems it doesnt mess up the Oline cohesion if either one comes in from week to week. i didnt see any communication problems or missed assignments (except rabach) so they seem to be interchangeable which is a good thing.

either way they are both probaly at the same level, ones better at the run while i still am not convinced that heyer is descernably better at pass pro.

go skins!!

Maybe we could work him in at center some. Rabach was terrible yesterday. Not only did he have two bad calls but Ratliff was just abusing him yesterday.

skinsfan_nn · 09-29-2008, 12:25 PM

JJ had a SOLID game. He might have earned a shot back in the starting lineup. May the best man win!

He looked a whole lot closer to the old JJ yesterday than I've seen in quite some time, maybe thats just what he needed.

Jansen probably still has it. With that said, I think Heyer has earned his starting job based on his game film from the Saints and Cards games. I think it's Heyer's job when he's healthy.

Very strong over the last three weeks. Kendall appears to be better for Zorn's blocking schemes than Randy Thomas, although Thomas has put three nice games in a row together after a lackluster opening night.

Some breakdowns in protection aside, the only problem spot on the OL appears to be Center. But I'll admit, Rabach got totally f'ed on the holding call. He was simply going to cut Ratliff, and Ratliff happended to get caught on his arm as he tried to shoot the gap. Nothing remotely close to holding.

It was solid, nice to see some depth there at tackle...

Dirtbag59 · 09-29-2008, 12:51 PM

Absolutley and I think he will stay. Buges went through the same thing with Bostic and it worked out pretty well, so with that said, welcome back Jansen.

I think Heyer would benefit from the game experience since he's likely the future of the position. I think JJ makes a great back up but the Skins need to develop the future now.

Good, it's well deserved.

mredskins · 09-29-2008, 01:48 PM

I think it is great that we have two good options here. that is one of the big reasons for success this year. Guys are still going down like before but someone is stepping right in without missing a beat.

We have some great players i nthe wings ready to take over for some of our older veterans.

These are exiciting times!
