I know that Portis got a lot of yards to the left behind Samuels and Sellers, but Jansen seemed very solid in run blocking today
unfortunately I haven't been able to review his pass blocking and I know that we let guys through way too much, so can anybody tell me about that that was focused on line play?

I agree...the ability to run out the game last 2 weeks against Dallas and Philly truly state his value to this team

Thank you for posting this thread. As for those who claim that Jansen is washed up and our OL is old and over the hill, think again. The reason this team is 4-1 is due to our OL solid play and of course Campbell, but everything begins in the trenches. We are healthy on the OL and what a difference it makes. We won today despite having Shawn Springs, Stephon Heyer, Jason Taylor and Marcus Washington. That shows the depth of this team and our rookie receivers are slowly starting to contribute, the sky's the limit for this team. Keep it up and stay hungry!!
GO SKINS!!!

Hey man, no problem.. I think Jansen has just had the same issues as Moss the past few years, injuries slowing him down, I think being in the reserve role he's ready and definitely has something to prove as a veteran, he's by no means your typical backup, he's the backup you dream of having, even if he's the vet vs having the solid young backup
hopefully heyer can become that long term guy, but I don't think at this point you can truly say that heyer has a great advantage vs jansen

As posted earlier. JJ has played two really solid games against two key divisional foes. Looking more like the ROCK of past, here the last two weeks, nice to see!

Jansen's strength is run blocking, so I can see how the playcalling went that way today. A few runs to the right side kept Philly guessing all day.

I have to admit I always thought it was funny that the team was starting Heyer at RT, even if it was Buges making the decision.

I've been tough on Jansen. His play has been great these last two weeks. He's been mauling people in run blocking, and hasn't been a liability in pass protection. It's nice to have an extra tackle on the bench with game experience -- be that Heyer or Jansen.

The whole offensive line was solid. I loved that 4th and 2 play to Portis up the middle with 2 minutes and 40 some seconds remaining in the game. Somebody said it was something that Parcells would have called.

Jansen has stepped up big the last 2 weeks. We ran the ball with authority today, against one of the top run Ds. Having the option of running to both sides is huge.
Nice to see it, plus the silver lining is that we've got excellent depth there.
Kneeling out in Dallas and Philly! Wow. Way to go skins!!!
