Jansen has been MIA lately, but, in the limited action I've seen him in, he has looked bad. He looked bad last preseason and he's looked sub-par this preseason. I'm pretty concerned about him.

IMO you are too kind Sheriff. JJ looked awful last preseason - watching replays of those games I kept thinking his days are over. Soooooo slow, he was getting beat over and over. I think it's rationale to expect he'll be even more arthritic this season, and this for a guy who has been pretty outspoken about not taking care of himself.

All that aside, I think Chad R. will be at RT before long. I know he is technically Kendall's backup but Kendall is proving more durable than JJ. Also, Heyer still looks covered in baby-fat head to toe. Don't see him as a legit tackle yet. Rhinehardt will be good though. O-line should be solid if we can keep injuries to minimum.
