Jansen was very solid today

Heyer earned this job. He came in and played very well as an undrafted rookie last year. I don't think people understand how big that is at a position like tackle. He held OUR Jason Taylor in check. This year he adapted Randy Thomas' work out and put on 30 lbs. of muscle. Jansen is solid, but according to the head coach, there were too many mental mistakes on his part and they felt that Heyer could anchor better in pass pro. Your back-ups are supposed to do what Jansen is doing now...nothing spectacular, but get the job done. Like another poster said- I feel good about both these guys.
