Jansen was very solid today

I don't think it's a coincidence that the running game has been so strong since #76 got back in there.

Heyer's injury could be a blessed just like Reed's illness was with Horton.

I just wish Jansen would break the habit he has had the last 2 to 3 years of showing up to training camp stiff as a board. As well as he is playing now, it is great and he has earned his spot in the starting lineup back.
But Jansen is a pro and is paid an awful lot of money, he needs to show up ready to play. Nobody should get a free pass at their starters job.
The coaches did the right thing in his situation. I think it set a good tone for everyone, especailly the young players on the team that nobody is untouchable. You all have to earn your spot. Kudos to the new coaching staff.

When Heyer went down I was fairly happy knowing that Jansen was waiting back there ( I do like Heyer but he made some mistakes in the Giants game , I know he is going to be good soon ). I had a feeling Jansen was going to come in and perform. Jansen had to be hungry, ready to come in and win his job back.

Congrats Jon keep it up! You have done a wonderful job at trying to reclaim your starting spot. Good luck and keep fighting every week!!

Jansen had a good game. As a matter of fact, both lines won the battle of the trenches. I think the defense was caught off guard early in the initial drive and the bogus punt return, that should have come back because of a block in the back, gave the Eagles the momentum early. The Skins maintained their composure and worked their way back into the game. By halftime, they controlled both lines of scrimmage. An impressive victory. The way that Zorn is controlling the clock in the second half of games reminds me of a young Joe Gibbs.

Now if we could get a blessing for someone to replace Rabach

Why? So he's made a couple of bone head plays 2 weeks in a row. The man can play.

I could'nt agree more. Sometimes you can get a little to comfortable. Jansen got a kick in the ass and he has responded.

I think we need to remember Jansen was coming off a pretty significant injury. Perhaps he just needed some extra time to get all the way back.

I think JJ is back and has earned the starting position back, he has looked really good these last two games. In form of the 'ROCK' of old, this wake up call might be just what he needed, your spot is earned not given.
