When will Jansen go?

That said, Heyer is definitely not an upgrade in pass protection, as others said he received way too much TE and RB help to be considered a reliable pass protector.

He and Jansen are about equal in pass protection at this stage - we're going to have to give either one of them a fair amount of help. But Jansen can still run block, so we stick with him.

If he still sucks this year and can't regain his form, it will definitely be time to draft some help at RT.

A strong argument to keep JJ as the starter, but IMO it also highlights how weak we are evidently at this position when a guy who's a huge liability is still better than the alternatives. I don't know if this situation should be chalked up to poor judgment among the decision-makers or maybe a lack of legitimate starters in the draft/free-agency. Either way it's def hard to swallow for me as a fan.

umm isnt that why we drafted rhinehart? they envision him to take over either the guard spot or tackle spot.

Kendall is older than Jansen. I think at the time, they envisioned him developing to replace Kendall at G, who is in the last year of his contract.

I don't think they envisioned Rinehart would replace Jansen, as the team has financially committed to Jansen for several more years.

So in the even the Skins decide to make Rinehart a permanent replacement for Jansen, we'll just need to draft a young G to take over for Kendall instead.

Either way, we're looking at drafting a young lineman next year, unless Jansen returns to form.

Lets not burn anybody at the stake yet...its preseason. I still stick to my firm belief that these guys played soft the other night to avoid getting hurt. Obviously Buges believes in hi and he is not a respected oline coach for nothing. Give him a few games....if he gets hurt again then we can start panicking.

[doughtydoubter]

I still play him, randy, and samuels and rabach have been playing not to get hurt before the big game. Jansen gets beat sure, but so does samuels so does every tackle in this league, Lets out this thread to rest until the first game when he gets injured again! The we can bitch!

I bet you by the end of the year Jansen will get the ax. He continues to get injured and he cannot keep up with edge rushers in the NFC anymore.

My bet is Jensen will be released during the non cap year...as will a few others...probably M. Washington (due to age), L. Fletcher (due to age), A. Randel-El (due to better, younger receivers), R Thomas (better, younger guard).

Not sure about Portis and Samuels.

Well hopefully there will be no non-cap year.

Wouldn't an uncapped year mean that there's no CBA between the players and the owners? I don't want football to go the way of baseball.

[thomasfan31]

Wow you've listed like our best players. Why would we get rid of them when they still play soooo well?

[doughtydoubter]

dude im with you about the list of players, marcus, jansen..it will come a time when ther will be an uncapped year.
Long time redskins will depart some of us will shed tears.
cerrato and snyder will be licking their chops waiting eagerly to look under their christmas tree and see what they can get!
Little do they know...jerry jones and robert kraft will say.."no dan not yet"
There will be manning and brady, and calvin johnson up for the take!
There will be Chris Long, and aj hawk, and willis on dans plane with their agents seeing how much they can possibly make!
The analysts will pick us to be number 1 for once! They will start to give us props!
ALL of our players will dance with the stars, bill cowher and joe gibbs will want to call the shots.
And when the cap falls, hopefully for all of us in dc.
while we watch adrian peterson score his 50th rushing td
when mike vick is our ball boy, while we are in the big Sb
we can all sing hail to the redskins once again with glee.


man i must be on drugs today or something

[doughtydoubter]

definitely on drugs

[sportscurmudgeon]

More than a couple of the beck-up offensive linemen got time on the field against Jax.

I didn't see any flashes of greatness from them such that Jansen should be demoted or cut. What did I miss?

[doughtydoubter]

yeah if the league goes uncapped...it will never get capped again and thats the sad thing.
I DO think the league is flawed in the rookie pay. Still, there their needs to be a happy medium
