Right Tackle

Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor · 09-09-2007, 02:30 PM

Actually I'm glad that Heyer is playing right tackle now. He is more versatile and more finesse than Jansen which fits the Al Saunders offense the best. I hate to see him get hurt but watch what I say. I know that I'm going to catch flack for saying this but I know what I'm talking about. He will be the future right tackle for us next year.

Yeah, I thought for sure Todd Wade would be in there.

I guess it's a good sign. Maybe Stephon Heyer will be the next Joe Jacoby --undrafted free agent signee -- and a fixture for years to come.

I believe Wade was held out due to injury. My guess is that he starts next week if he is healthy.

The only reason Heyer went in there instead of Wade is b/c Wade was on the inactive list (anyone know why btw??). Heyer is still a project, but Buges is great at getting max value out of a player. I think he and Wade can both help. Make them fight it out in practice and see what happens going forward... Thank god we got Kendall, otherwise we'd be up shit's creek with no paddle.

It should also be noted that a major reason Yoder saw a lot of time and Cooley only caught one ball is b/c we had to keep them on the line to help Heyer handle Taylor/outside pass rush...

You just might be right, that guy is a stud!!

GridIron26 · 09-09-2007, 05:27 PM

I told you guys, all guys kept bashing on Heyer through the preseason.. I knew he could develop into good T..

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 09-09-2007, 05:46 PM

Heyer looked decent for an NFL RT, and great for a UFA rookie RT. I hope, however, that Wade is healthy next week and can start. I really believe our passing game suffered greatly when Jansen went out and Cooley and/or the backs were being held in to block on the right side of the line.

I agree. Cooley's not the best at blocking and keeping him back in pass protection does us no good.

I agree Heyer looked border line amazing, but come on guys lets not throw a party over this guy just yet. I would rather have Jansen out there at least for the rest of this year, unless he continues to get man-handled.

Heyer was good but he did get pushed back pretty bad a few times and Dierdorf remarked that he was playing too high on Taylor. If Wade is healthy he should be in there.

Didn't Taylor also aggravate his groin midway through the first half? So he wasn't 100% anyway

Maybe and maybe not. Heyer has a lot to learn but he has alot to work with. Some of th OL men we have drafted lately you can't say that about. He was playing against a pro bowl type player so it is a big step to having a young line for seasons to come. Pluse D line coach can work on that being too high and other things!!!

Heyer really held up well considering he's basically never played right tackle. Its almost miraculous. I guess Gibbs was pretty brilliant in getting Heyer all that work in the pre-season.

My first instinct is to say put Wade in next week, but Perhaps Heyer is just this decades Jacoby. Either way we should be able to absorb the loss of Jansen - which is of course unfortunate.

I think either Wade or Heyer will fill in nicely. The problem now becomes DEPTH. I would think that we will be searching the wire for some Off Tackles if the docs say Jansen is done for the year and/or an time that goes past 6 weeks.

Congratulations on predicting the score right.
