Jansen was very solid today

hmm...thinking about this one.

If a RT can't pass block, you get em help.
If a RT can't run block, you don't play em.

Run blocking can be learned, pass blocking requires speed.
Ideally, Heyer needs to learn how to drive a man off the ball before he becomes a legitamate long term starter...otherwise, he should be a LT backup and at best RT starter.

Jansen is an ideal backup for interior line and an obvious starter if he can hold his own 1 on 1 against the pass rush....which he has done in the last 2 weeks.

Using that same measure of judgement, why not argue to bench Samuels, he has gotten beaten several times in the last 2-3 weeks for sacks, even with Portis help....ridiculous.
Samuels is solid and Jansen has played as well as any time in the last 3 years...
I say, keep Jansen in until he give up 3 sacks in a game....and that my friends, aint gunna happen anytime soon.

Okay, with all due respect, are u insane? Bench the best LT on the roster? Samuels is so much better than ANYONE else on the line it is insane. Has he gotten beaten? Maybe, but if you had Heyer in there, Campbell would have been sacked a lot more. Heyer is solid but still learning - do you think Heyer would have blanked Trent Cole? I dont.

That is my exact point...no one would ever suggest benching Samuels.
