Mickalino Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Do you think the Lions message board had a "Washington Releases Jansen ... what do you think" thread? Actually, there is.............http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=93&f=1801&t=4373077 :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:That is priceless! As we are different, so are we the same. Oh yeah. It's a trip seeing posts saying "Only the Redskins",then heading over to other teams message boards and realizing "Well. Maybe not." Actually, in this case, they're better.....the person who started the thread, didn't just say "Should we ????".....but they said "I predict well sign him" Nice guarantee EDIT : Nevermind, they edited their post to predict that, AFTER he signed with Detroit. What I want to know, is whether that's the member's actual picture of herself in her avatar ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Hunter #21 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I wish him all the best in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam291 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 wow...he wasnt even worth the vet minimum for depth? thats really saying something... That means we'd cut him and sign him to a new vet minimum contract. He probably didn't want to do that, and from our cap position, it probably didn't make much sense.

Blackest Eyes Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I knew he would sign in Detroit. Good luck buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogghead Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Now that he's gone, I wish him all the luck, except for week 3. I hope we put AH and BO on his side all day and wear his ass out! RAK should have at the minimum of 2 sacks with rookie of the week honors. Im sure Blache, is having wet dreams of how to expose his weakness of not being able to contain speed rushers. I cant wait. Good luck JJ and thank you for your services. :saber::saber::saber: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrfriedm Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I wish Jon Jansen nothing but the best in Detroit, except in going against the Redskins, of course. Jansen definitely did what he could do to help the Washington Redskins during his 10 year stint in D.C. Unfortunately, the Redskins releasing Jansen was a tough, business decision to make; I'm sure that it surprised some Redskins fans, including myself. 100% correct. Very well stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portis for 6 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Actually, there is.............http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=93&f=1801&t=4373077 LOL!! Some lion fans are thrilled to have Him, Good luck jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 This is where 33 year old tackles at the end of their careers end up, with a rebuilding team that lacks any veteran leadership. That's what Jansen is there for. To provide a bridge to the next generation. Here I still think the true battle is between Stephon Heyer and Jeremy Bridges with Mike Williams a long shot. We might see Bridges or Williams at guard as well, although I am not certain that Williams will make the final roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hopefully Orakpo is up to speed by week three so he can run circles around Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squatch66 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 i saw this story on yahoo. the funniest part of the story was reading the comments from the lions fans. "omg we signed jansen the skins are so stupid we are going to have a rock solid line this year championship!!!!!!" :hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 So you are saying that the Lions have real live fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spear Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I get the feeling that Jansen is gone because his pride wouldn't let him accept the roles his body could fill (backup backup tackle/backup center). He wouldn't step out of the way, so he was moved out of the way. The guy isn't a starter or depth. He just shouldn't be on the field and I don't expect him to be on Detroit's 53-man roster when the season opens, much less starting when we play them.

squatch66 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 nah he will make the 53 man roster. i think that he is there for depth/insurance in case gosder cherilus either gets hurt or sucks it up this season. all i have to say is this: if jansen sees the field at all then you can go ahead and label cherilus a bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Good to see for Jon. It will be interesting to see what position he ends up playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Perhaps this is a silly remark but...I don't think he was as terrible as some are saying. Our line has been in bad shape for a bit now and sometimes it can be hard to judge what ONE player is doing when several are apart of the play. He has had injuries. He is a super good guy. Having said all that... I think he was WAY overpaid last contract and he isn't currently going to fit with our line. I hope he has a fantastic year with Detroit and then retires.

scruffylookin Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 So if we will be facing Jansen this season..........let me be the first to say congratulations to Renaldo Wynn on making the Skins. Looks like there's now a reason to keep Renaldo Wynn on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worstSeat Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:That is priceless! As we are different, so are we the same. Yeah, but they are pretty realistic about what he could do... If anyone's going to struggle mightily in pass protection, it should be our 2008 first-rounder with massive upside, not a 10-year vet on his last legs. Jansen at his peak was pretty good, but even then he was basically Backus sized up to 120%. No thanks. or... Wildcat67 wrote: Redskins released RT Jon Jansen. After Jansen struggled mightily in pass protection last year, the Redskins were determined to replace him "for good" this offseason. Well....he'd fit in here at least. I feel badly for those that talk about, "If he's healthy, he's good." Jansen was healthy last year, wasn't he? Definitely an improvement on Heyer for the run, but yeah, not starting material anymore. EDIT: Think they sent a private jet for him? You know, Detroit keeps a private jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 The scary part.......Jansen may be one of the best O-linemen on their team right now. But I really hope Stafford sees no playing time at all this year.... oh, and week three Orakpo vs. Jansen am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I hope he does well. I do not think he'll last the season. That team is bad, he is going to have to do alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
