I rather have Jansen and give him another chance. The only reason I say this is, if Jansen does get cut then I would sign Runyan and give him a 1 year contract and plug the whole for this year.
jansen can't get cut. it's cheaper to keep him, so he's here regardless.

Six names. You have access to all the power of ESPN and you come up with 6 names. How many people have played the position in the last fifteen years? Hundreds. I stand by my contention that if it looks like a bust, smells like a bust, lives in the training room like a bust, and can't memorize plays like a bust, then it is probably a bust.
do you're own research then. the list is pretty long... mccardell didn't do anything till his 4th year, ginn had 400 yards his rookie season (and he started 9 games)... winslow had 2 crappy years ;), coles only had 370 his first season (another guy that started games). burress had 270 his rookie year (starting 9 games - and 0 TDs). hines ward had 240 yards as a rookie.
search nfl.com if you want more. it's VERY rare for a WR to jump in like boldin or colston.

It's not even worth discussing, he said there weren't any at all. Clearly that's wrong. But he still believes what he believes. I guess we should just draft more wide receivers this year

Interesting four page read about a WAPO Insider article of pure conjecture!
Insider apparently doesn't access CC/Schneed's salary cap page here in the Warpath! We still have some Cap wiggle room. Everything written in the Insider needs to be taken with a grain of salt!

My thoughts exactly. As was written in another thread by several people, the Post no longer has any "inside" info. In fact, the casual fan who watches Total Access has more insider info on the Skins.

Jansen will make a very good back-up IMO and wouldn't be surprised to see him compete on the interior, depending on Thomas' status.
I've been preaching this for awhile now. Jansen's diminished quickness hurts him against end rushers and OLB blitzing, but he's still good in the running game. A switch to guard would not only extend his career but I actually think he would be an upgrade to Thomas.

Who needs research when you have the smell test? Don't you know that trumps all?

We need to move Randy Thomas to right tackle and try that out and move Jansen to right guard. Thomas has always been a better pass blocker than run blocker which we need for our west coast offense to take root. If the injuries are behind Thomas is more than capable for the adjustment since he is athletic.
Not sure I like the idea of experimenting with moving guys around. Let's do the smart thing and draft a starter at RT and go from there.

Bingo! AND maybe JJ can play a little bu (if his ego can stand it) and maybe.......he can compete at R guard.
