Samuels, Jansen shrug off criticism - Sports - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper (http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20061105-124908-5562r.htm)
Jon Jansen was making his first start for Michigan 11 years ago when he discovered offensive linemen only receive attention when something goes wrong.
Playing against Virginia before a home crowd of more than 100,000, Jansen held his own until late in the game.
"I was having a great game," he said in the Washington Redskins locker room after practice on Thursday. "But then I gave up a pressure and it was one of those things that was pointed out -- in the papers, in the team meetings, everywhere else -- because I was a freshman. It was one of those things you learn to understand and accept or you get out of the game."
Jansen accepted the criticism and will play his 104th NFL game (all starts) today when the Redskins play host to the Dallas Cowboys. Chris Samuels did the same when he was at Alabama. Samuels will play his 100th game (all starts) today.
