Jansen was very solid today

I didn't even vote because I don't know which one should start, I think both can do the job if they are in there, and given how the injury bug lurks, I am just glad they both are there and able to go if needed. Our lines are definitely a big part of the team's success.

Isn't this a wonderful problem to have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to add that as of Wed Heyer still appears to be watching practice from the sideline and he is questionable for this sunday. I think the more time he misses the stronger Jansen's position as starter comes. Heyer is still green and he cannot afford to miss reps and still play at the caliber of a starting RT.

Meanwhile, Zorn sounds intent on giving Heyer the job back when he's healthy. Maybe he should think about it more.

I'm just tossing this out there, but perhaps Zorn is just doing this to keep Jansen motivated and hungry?

Because realistically I don't know how he can look at game film and NOT see that the OL has become more stout in the running game and with little dropoff in pass pro with JJ in there.

And if Buges has any say in the matter which I'm sure he does, he probably has JJ's back and would prefer to keep him in there.

I do not like the fact that jansen has to be benched to bring his A game. Not what I want in a franchise tackle. Jansen has played well enough to tighten up the leash on heyer, but I'd put the kid back in when he's healthy.

My biggest problem is why couldn't he protect campbell in preseason. Sure its only preseason but if JC gets hurt we're screwed in the reg season. Pass protection is more important than run blocking. We don't run block well, we lose yards... we don't pass protect, we lose our QB. You shouldn't have to committ backs or tight ends constantly to either side unless they're picking up blitzes.

I like jansen and he's made himself noticed for sure. He's a warrior, but he mailed it in and risked a lot this preseason. I think Zorns making the right call.

Yeah after reading that Times article I am a bit worried about about bringing heyer back in. To me we won the last couple games because of our oline and our oline only. Without running the way we did, I dont think we could've controlled the clock and dominated. I really hope we keep Jansen in.

The next three games we might not need a great run blocker to win, but after that, I think we will see in a drop of runs to the right if heyer returns.

Coming off a serious injury might have had something to do with his preseason struggles.

That looks more and more like the logical conclusion. Injury issues go both ways now because Heyer is nicked up and JJ appears to have come through two major battles w/o a hitch. Pretty impressive stuff.

I voted for Jansen, I've thought he was a beast for years. I believe that he is much better against the run than Heyer. But, and I think this is important, Zorn was a QB and thier for his first thoughts are to protect Jason. so my vote was JJ but I expect SH as soon as he's healthy. Either way we're better off having both.....HTTR

This comment is about the Rams game, and I can't understand how the O-line's superior play against the Cowboys and Eagles could drop off so much against the Rams. Jansen had a false start penalty and Campbell never really had the time to pass as he did in previous games. The offensive line didn't play like they had before, and the Rams defense were ranked about last in the NFL, or close to it.
