Jon Jansen

Yeah, I was just pointing out that he was in there tonight. Its gotta be between him and Winey I would think?

Oddly he doesn't look to be in much pain. Hopefully this is a false report! Of all the people to watch go down I feel horrible for him!

Dude, THIS SUCKS!!!! I can't believe Jansen went down. I gotta pray to the football gods tonight that he somehow heals up. This would be a major blow to the team, especially if Brunnel was QB (who on earth would block his blind-side). Man, I am going to have some rotten dreams tonight...

My bet is he's gone for the season. My dad ruptured his achilles, and it did not really hurt, but he could not stand up. Looked like that's what happened here. This is a huge blow. One of the best o linesman, and a leader and captain. Our only hope is that there's enough time to pick up a replacement and to rebuild the line in preseason. Buges really has his work cut out for him now.

He is done for the season!!! I really wish it was not so!!! You are so right about Buges has his work cut out for him now! What about Brandom Winey 6-7/320 2 year pro out of LSU? He played 11 games last year and started 2. Do you think Mark Wilson or Jim Molinaro can step in now?

Yes, he's out. Doesn't mean it's the end of our Redskins world this season. They might move Dockery back to T or can Wilson fill the void? Wilson's big enough but haven't heard much about him during camp so far. WE WILL NOW. I've been too excited about this upcoming season to let this injury ruin my outlook. But let's hope Thomas' knee problem isn't a BIG problem. Two guys out of the picture wouldn't be pretty.

Any achilles injury is a bad one. This is a bad break.

Why do these things always have to be season ending? Why must it happen to our best friggin offensive lineman? Why couldn't it have been just something minor, maybe out only 4-6 weeks or something?

SON OF A B#@$*!!!!!!!!

ok, still trying to cool down. Does Jevon Kearse play on the left or right side? What about Michael Strah....oh yeah... he lines up against the right tackle. Wonderful...

Oh well. We must move on. Jim Molinaro, Marc Wilson, Brandon Winey, Kenyatta Jones simply have to step up. If there's one coaching staff out there who can squeeze talent out of the less talented, it's Gibbs, Bugel & Co.

The only positive is that it happened very early in the preseason. I'm not sure what free agents are out there but I'm betting it's probably slim pickings.

I guess we'll see if Wilson is ready, or maybe Jones can slide over to RT. Whatever happens we're going to miss Jansen dearly.
