Should Jansen stay in the starting lineup?

Heyer seems to be a better pass blocker, while Jansen still seems to be an effective run blocker. Switching them in and out based on that would give too much away to opposing defenses, but maybe start Jansen, and bring Heyer in on two minute drills and other obvious passing situations.

I'm guessing it will depend on Heyer's sprained shoulder, but either option at this point is a relatively good option. This is the kind of problems any NFL team would dream of. The Eagles have an incredible pass rush (17 sacks in the first 4 games, including 9 against Pittsburgh), so I'd give the nod to Heyer at that point.

Maybe we could just play both Heyer and Jansen, depending on our game-plan and/or match-ups each week?

- i completely agree, and i think thats what they did with dallas.
PS-it wasn't mistake free he had an uncalled false start. it wasn't a big play though

My first inclination is HELL YES, leave him in as the run game was primo against a good D. I would like to see some highlights as well.

JJ played the entire game.

You can't switch them in and out during a game, it's way too obvious.

Move Jansen to Center and bring back Heyer. :D


Or make Rabach run laps all day today.

I think Jansen earned his spot back. Heyer will be a quality backup as long as Jon plays well.

Very tough call. With the Philly blitz coming, whoever is there will be tested. A tough call for Zorn and Buges.

The advantage in the run game is a big deal. That may sway things to Jansen.

How is our Guard play?

both jansen and heyer are going to get nicks and injuries as the season goes along so id say we start who ever is able to practice all week. one good thing is that it seems it doesnt mess up the Oline cohesion if either one comes in from week to week. i didnt see any communication problems or missed assignments (except rabach) so they seem to be interchangeable which is a good thing.

either way they are both probaly at the same level, ones better at the run while i still am not convinced that heyer is descernably better at pass pro.

go skins!!

Maybe we could work him in at center some. Rabach was terrible yesterday. Not only did he have two bad calls but Ratliff was just abusing him yesterday.
