Has anyone else noticed that Jon Jansen looks like he has lost a step, or two, or three? He looks slow and not particularly powerful. According to a New York Times article (see link below), Bill Parcells has noticed Jansen's "slippage."
BTW, the Times article is long, but worth reading.

off the top, i'd say he's not partcularly suited to sustained pass protection 5yd play after 5yd play. he likes going forward not backward, he's been saying it forever.

the achilles injury probably took some power out of him

I thought about that, but it's been two years now.

Our whole line has been inconsistent this season. Inconsistent is the key word, because it's not like they have played poorly. We have a solid offense. Our problems offensively happen when someone on the OL lets up a key sack or commits a holding penalty in a crucial situation killing a drive. That's just them being inconsistent. If they were the unit they were last year, we would have a top 5 offensive unit, easy. But it's not all that bad just yet. They are all healthy at least, and at the beginning of the season, that was our biggest worry.

um, they are the exact same unit as last year. and 'consistency' is what precisely what makes a unit "good" or not. as are things like "letting up a key sack" or commiting penalties.
i swear your posts are like jedi mind tricks, GTripp: "no guys, our offense is really good. really!"
you're convinced we have a good offense! maybe we're good on some obscure stat sheet (read the WP article), but the team doesn't have the shutdown defense we've had for years to keep the scores low, and suddenly they've been exposed to not be good ENOUGH.
everyone believes we have the talent to be a much greater offense, but who needs to use all available talent when we can get decent stats using only half the team's potential?
