in sunday’s game against the rams, jansen’s struggles in pass protection seemed to re-surface. it seems he has the power to neutralize the bull rush but lacks the athleticism to consistently combat speed rushers.

so, assuming heyer is now healthy, the questions is: who is our better option right now?

are we better off letting heyer develop his skills (particularly in run blocking)? if he is our long term answer at the position, one would assume that is the best thing to do. but how sure of that are we, really, at this point? is the fact that we aren’t sure yet cause to leave him out or to put him back in?

clinton portis is running his way to an MVP season. should jansen’s superior ability in the run game be our priority? or are we better served providing our young quarterback with the best possible protection?

a lot of factors to be considered here…

your thoughts:
