HB Blades or Stephon Heyer?

[SmootSmack]

Good question. We can put up a poll...but what about Jansen at RT?

I'm less uncomfortable with Heyer/Jansen at RT than Blades at LB. I like Blades but more in spot duty as a versatile backup. I guess I'm just not sold on him yet as a starter.

All that said, if Oher is available at 13 I'd still take him. Because I don't know how often we'll get an opportunity to get an OT like that.

Well since Heyer won the job out of camp last year, Buges and Cerrato both were effusive in their praise of him this offseason I am operating under the assumption that he is the starter going into camp (unless a T is drafted). I think if it were not cap prohibitive, Jansen would have already been cut.

NFL News Feed: Zorn Says He and Portis Are 'Solid' - The League at washingtonpost.com

In an interview this morning with a couple Washington-area reporters, Zorn said that Jon Jansen will be considered the incumbent starter in the competition with Stephon Heyer for the team's right tackle job.

"Jon ended up as the starter at the end of the season," Zorn said. "That hasn't changed. Stephon Heyer is very competitive and so is Jon. It'll be a battle there. But Jon, right now he's our starting right tackle."
