zztrainv2 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 He played better than great against the Giants, just look at what he did to Umenyore (sp?) This week, he was great again, held his hown and no penalties in that dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I think this should be Heyer's job from here on out. Provided he keeps playing at a high level. He is playing great for a rookie. Hopefully he will only get better. I feel bad for Jansen, he is a great teammate, but I think it may be time for him to step aside. I hope Jansen will take a pay cut and stay on the team as a superb backup. It sucks that he can't stay healthy anymore. He has had some tough breaks (no pun intended).

Burgold Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Nice thread resussitation. Heyer has really played well and stepped up. Todd wasn't touched much the past two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week, he was great again, held his hown and no penalties in that dome. You mean Strahan. But still, he played great, and strahan's no push over. Heyer said that he and Strahan were jawing back and forth the whole game. It's crazy, when Strahan was 30 Heyer was only 17. Heyer's got a bright future ahead of him! Hopefully we don't lose him like we lost Dockery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTaylorINOURHearts Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I think we have found a replacement for Jansen...Jansen needs to restructure his contact, so he can stay here as a backup. We have to start letting the young guys play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Heyer = More proof that we're not as bad at finding young talent as people would like to think. Three Cheers for the young man! I read an article about him during training camp .. very humble guy. The kind of guy you really like to root for. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Heyer's been great from the word go. Period. He didn't struggle in the preseason. He played great. He hasn't struggled in the regular season. He isn't as good as Kampman who blew he and Wade up, but that happens. Heyer is a true GREAT find for us right now. We've gotten very fortunate he's played above his prospect rating this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Caught his postgame interview with Kelly last night on Comcast. He seems like a big humble kid that is very thankful to be here. He's one of the best stories from this year, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The Terps are taking over! Heyer has all the tools to be a solid, plus OL in the NFL. His knee injury as a jr really prevented him from being 100% as a senior. Because of this, we went from a 3rd or 4th rd pick, to a UFA. It happens, and Heyer isn't the type of guy to sulk and bemoan his past difficulties. If anything, its helped him get where he is right now; a NFL Rookie starter.

I'm just happy he is playing for his home team and that he is playing real solid and didn't mess up his chance as starter by playing hard every down. Not only did he rep the terps but now the skins!

Capt Rich Fla Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I feel any lineman coming back after injury now is not going to just be handed their job back. They will have to fight for it now. That is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I feel any lineman coming back after injury now is not going to just be handed their job back. They will have to fight for it now. That is great. Agreed. I also think Lorenzo Alexander is another future OL (OG to be exact), especially given that we have a lot less young depth there than on the DL. Buges struck out with Molinaro and the other one (name always escaped me), but he's made up for it with these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins59 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Sure, it's true that Heyer got beat in Green Bay, but I think he has improved since then. He is gonna be our starter in the future. Jon Jansen may be cut after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny White Guy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Heyer has really impressed me too, you really have to hand it to the guy. I hope he can keep up the great work, we're going to need him to work very hard until February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Edds Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Awhile back, one this site's originals, had some harsh words about Joe Bugel, and his perceived failure to field any adequate, young back-up OL guys.Considering the adversity the OL has had to overcome, to see this team put up 32 points, and provide Collins with the protection he had tonight, you have to tip your hat to Joe Bugel. Stephon Heyer's play punctuates the incredible job Buges has put forth this year..:2cents: well said! Definitely could use a few more young studs on both lines that we don't have to rush into the starting lineup. Buges has a lot do with his success thus far!

#21Taylor4Ever Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I just wish I could talk and think about other things than ST....but I just can't Believe me man, we're all with you still missing #21. I think he's up there all excited for our possible playoff placement. I miss the guy too and it still hurts a lot, but we must move on knowing he's in a better place.

#21Taylor4Ever Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 As for Heyer....I said before and I'll say it again---we got the better of the two Terps linemen. Everyone thought the Ravens did better with whatchamacallit(lol), but Heyer has definitely been a rock on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgreena911 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 As for Heyer....I said before and I'll say it again---we got the better of the two Terps linemen. Everyone thought the Ravens did better with whatchamacallit(lol), but Heyer has definitely been a rock on the right side. As a Terps fan, I can tell you, without reservation, that Stephan Heyer would have been a first team AA if not for a season ending knee injury his junior year - he was not 100% for his senior season which is why he flew under the radar - he is a tremendous, humble young man, with an incredible work ethic and passion for success. He worked TIRELESSLY to get back on the field and never once bemoaned his circumstances. The Skins got a real Gem when they picked him up - I expect continued great things from him. It's wonderful that he's playing for the Skins. As for Jared Gaither - he has all the physical gifts and tools in the world, but he's still raw - he only needs more experience and discipline and he will be a great talent - he's three full years in terms of development behind Heyer so we're really talking apples and oranges between the two - he's also got the misfortune right now of being in a bad situation in Baltimore with the long losing streak, coaching controversy, etc., regardless - as a Terp fan, I'm pulling for both to be successful in their professional careers.
