Heyer will Start against Giants

Heyer to Start; Practice Squad Set (Updated) - Redskins Insider

No word on whether this is a demotion for Jansen, or a one time thing due to injury.

Thank the lord. I love JJ but I'm tired of seeing him get destroyed by less than top flite pass rushers. I think he and Heyer should split a lil time.

It's the right move. Keeping Durant Brooks was the right move. Keeping five wide recievers was a curious and quite possibly completely crazy move. Keeping Tryon was the move of someone who smokes crack.

Although I agree with the wilso post...don't politics belong in the parking lot. This side of the fence is football ONLY!

Leave it to some dirtbag......

I hope its not permanent (atleast for this season). I love the terps and was impressed by what heyer was able to do in a pretty crazy situation last year as an undrafted rookie but I still think jansen is our best option at RT. Jansen has slowed alot since the year he played with 2 broken hands(?) but he is still imo the entrenched starter. Next year i would like to see a very competitive battle for the RT spot with jansen given every opportunity to keep it. Jansen isnt an elite or even great tackle anymore but he is still good and gives us the best chance to win this year imo.

heyer's got that great big body with a large wing span and reports were that he reported to camp in great shape but i think he is still a year away from getting serious starter discussion. I also would like us to draft a tackle next year in the first couple of rounds.

go skins! only 5 days left!!!

go skins!

My guess is that it's a combination of the injury and Jansen's piss-poor play this pre-season. I am very curious to see how Jansen responds--my hope it that it will light a fire under him and he'll step back in. He's got a lot of pride as a player. Now he needs to step up and show why he should start.

Funny how Wise at the Post thought this was disrespectful to Jansen. Does he really think Jansen won the job this season? And it puts the lie to Wise's comments about a lack of open competition in camp. The FO can't win here, I suppose: either they've gone too much with draft picks or they aren't respecting vets. I have an idea: let's just let the Post pick and coach the team. That would solve all our problems, no doubt!

tryon <> DG YET! (great if he becomes a 20yr Skin)

JWsleep · 08-31-2008, 02:13 PM

Tyron has more potential than the cut DBs, IMO. Let's see if he can improve over time. With draft picks, a little patience!!!

Daseal · 08-31-2008, 02:49 PM

Good call. Jansen is finished IMO. He did a lot for the franchise, but his time is over.

12thMan · 08-31-2008, 03:05 PM

Bottom line, Jansen had a horrible pre-season. Stevie Wonder could have seen that. I like the fact that coach Zorn has the guts to make the call before we got two or three games into the season, and watch Jansen struggle horribly. He's making this a non-controversy before it get's off the ground. Good call.
