Re: Ryan Jensen
Good thread. Honestly, I'm not high on Jensen. That being said, I like Jensen at C more than anyone we have at RT.
I change my mind on Mangold constantly, but with no clear word on his health/rehab I'm not going to say he's an automatic upgrade becuase I dont think it's really true. If he's back to full health then yes. If he's not, well we're taking just as much risk with a broken C than Jensen, IMO.
I, too, would like to see them add a RT. Dunlap, Clady, Pasztor are options.
I'll be in "wait and see" mode with Jensen, but I'm not listening to the reports and all that BS. Gotta see it on the field, in a game and we won't get that chance till August."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: Ryan Jensen
I don't think Mangold is healthy. Reading between the lines, I could see him going unsigned into the regular season, and then maybe get picked up by someone on a flyer. I'm passing on the damaged goods.

Re: Ryan Jensen
Here are FilmStudy's notes from the 3rd (i.e. real) Preseason game last year against the Lions.
Jensen also had an extended trial at center (32 snaps) followed by a series at guard (11). He was nearly flawless, with his only negative score a shared penetration (Q3, 6:31) where he and Ducasse each had responsibility for allowing Allen to be tackled for a loss of 1. Otherwise, he made 40 blocks, missed 2, scored a raw .91 with 4 highlight blocks (great rate; see individual notes for descriptions). Given he missed the first 2 series, his adjustment can’t be as big as Lewis, but I credited him with .97 adjusted score, which is an A at either center or guard. In the final preseason game, I expect we’ll see more of Jensen at both center and guard.Last edited by Justlovemybirds; 05-26-2017 at 09:47 AM.

Re: Ryan Jensen
If I put my optimistic hat on, I have to think from a run blocking perspective, an interior of Lewis, Jensen and Yanda would be one mean ass combination. 3 guys who play tough as nails.
My big concern with Jensen is his pass blocking."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: Ryan Jensen
Jensen has a mean streak. Dude plays like a pissed off gorilla at times. I think he could work out. Plus, this is all still very, very early. If Jensen looks good at center, I don't think it will be too long before they experiment with Nico at LG and Lewis at RT.

Re: Ryan Jensen
The clamboring for Mangold.... remember who let him go...the Jets. JETS.... there's a reason for that and it's not all about money.. Glad Jensen is getting his shot!

Re: Ryan Jensen
I want Ryan Jensen to excel. My issue is that in order for this offense to take the next step, they can't keep settling for 'average' and 'adequate' at the Center position. How can you have two vertical threats and want to attack, but be so willing to allow 'adequate' play from your Center. Flacco needs a pocket to step up into those throws. That was the issue last year. It looked like Flacco had time in some cases, because Wagner and Stanley handled the edge-rushers. However, he didn't have a pocket to step up into, because Zuttah was constantly being pushed back into him.

Re: Ryan Jensen
Adequate is better than what we had last season. Remember that he'll be sandwiched between a future HOF guard and an up and coming talent. You can't have them all great, not even the Cowboys have great players everywhere on the OL, their RT is about adequate.
