SkinsOrlando Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Big Jon will be ready to go by week 1. Still working the cobwebs out, I'll say it again. Jansen will rebound huge this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knowledge316 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 so far i am concerned about his play...every game he's messed up at least once, even though the starters are playing few series...he needs to step it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Too soon to call for me. He understandably needs to some time to get back into a groove, but he's running out of preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskedsuperstar Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well, a QB can not hold on to the ball, in this type of offense. With a 3 step drop, the ball has to be thrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 He got beat for another sack on Saturday night. I'm concerned as he seems to have lost a step. Anyone share the same thoughts? I'm very concerned. Jansen is getting blown up when it comes to run blocking and he's getting blown by in pass protection. To be honest, Jansen has struggled in pass protection to some extent for the last few years. I think the injuries and age have just taken there toll.

TLusby Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I will tell you what concerns me is that JJ is averaging yielding a sack per quarter in preseason and his run blocking (which is his strength) has not looked good as he is not winning at the point of attack.

ttr77 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I am concerned with anyone that suffers major leg/foot injuries in 2 out of 4 seasons. Just the psychological effect of those types of injuries can be devastating, let alone the physical damage. But Jon has bounced back before. I think he'll do it again.

McMetal Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well, Rinehard got completely used on a blindside sack that could have ended Collins' career, so these things happen. There's no guarantees anyone behind Jansen would fare any better right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhouse Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 That sack was just something waiting to happen. JC had all the time in the world to get the ball out. I can understand that there was no one open to throw to but he stayed in the pocket just a little too long. Jansen will be fine. I would still rely on him if I was Buges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciscofan Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm glad this thread was started because I am concerned. He is a huge liability at this point financialy and performance wise. He really needs to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvitis Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 The coaches have blinders when it comes to Jansen. No matter how awful he is, and he is certainly that, they will not bench him. A rookie playing like Jansen would be cut, and he should be to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthor99 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 To me Jon seems to struggle against the Bull Rush. My only reasoning behind that is he may not have the 100% leg strength he needs in order to do a solid job against it. Remember, in the past 5 years Jansen has had very bad leg injuries. He blew out his achilles in Coach Gibbs first year, and dislocated his ankle last season. I think it's going to take another month or so for Jon to really trust those legs, and to get the strength back he needs to defend the bull rush. I personally will give him more time because we all know we he can do when 100% healthy. I'm just not convinced his legs are there yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttr77 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm glad this thread was started because I am concerned. He is a huge liability at this point financialy and performance wise. He really needs to step up. Financially? His salary keeps his team under the cap. I don't see where how this is a problem to anyone not paying his paycheck.

StillUnknown Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 yeah i'm concerned, his play has dropped off since the injuries. injuries like the one he suffered are tough to comeback from. i hope he does, but my confidence in him getting back to level he once was is not high.

GaryGreenMonk Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think he'll come around over time. After a knee injury like that, he probably lost quite a bit of muscle mass in his lower legs.. especially the injured one. He probably can't squat half what he previously could right now. Which is a big loss of power for an OL. As he builds that strength back up, he'll improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedlamVR Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Do we need these same threds every week ? We don't have anyone better right now ... he is going to get beat... there is not a OL in the league who doesn't . He may need time to get the confidence in his legs, we need to get a replacement for him soon (2009/10) but he is still above average . I would be more concerned about Randy Thomas ...

Abshir Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 For me it's been a nightmare to watch Jansen get beat, consistently, hopefully he will stay healthy and overcome some of these missteps. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I hope you are right. I've had my concerns since 06. Same here. Honestly, I think his days of being good are over. I think he's going to be exposed out there for as long as he continues to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
