MUTigerFan Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Saw him in the Jets/Giants game last night, competing for a guard position. Didn't look too hot. Defenders going around and through him, leaving him on his backside watching sacks. Don't think he's gonna make it, even if Callahan likes him. Quote Link to comment

Weird.....all the announcers were saying he's got the starting job. I think that's the assumption since he's been playing with Callahan for 5 or 6 years now and the other guard is pretty much a project. Slauson starting with a false start, then a holding call later, and several times blitzers went right past him. His pass blocking w/o the blitz wasn't bad though. And the Jets only managed 83 rushing yards. And unrelated... Danny Woodhead had 5 receptions for 41 yards. Quote Link to comment

I saw Woodhead playing last night, and he looked like so tiny with all those huge NFL players, but he did well! Quote Link to comment
MUTigerFan Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I though Woodhead looked good too. Great quickness, good hands and, apparently, fearless - running around the field at 5'9". Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Matt Slauson looks absolutely horrible tonight against the Dolphins. There is no way he does not get cut at some point. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Part of the problem is that Slauson is a sixth round draft pick in his 2nd year. And the Jets stick him in to replace Alan Faneca, one of the top OGs in the NFL. Faneca was a pro-bowl player for like a decade or something. Slauson was lucky to make the roster last year. And now Jets fans——and even the announcers——are perplexed why Slauson is not as good as Faneca. It’s not a fair comparison. And btw, even Faneca sucked for his first couple of years in the league. But it was kinda cool that both left OGs were Huskers last night, Slausen and Richie Incognito. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Matt Slauson looking good. Talk about a turnaround. I thought he for sure was going to get cut. Congrats Matt! Nice work & keep it up! Quote Link to comment

He's had a great season this year. The trap blocks in the 4th quarter had to have him smiling! Looked good tonight! Quote Link to comment

He's had a great season this year. Early on it was ugly. Real ugly. He definitely turned things around though. Quote Link to comment

Nice work & keep it up! He's had a great season this year. The trap blocks in the 4th quarter had to have him smiling! Looked good tonight! Indeed. He's played like that all season long. From pre-season to this evening, he's played really well. Not perfect but really well. Quote Link to comment

Not only was he getting beat he led the team in false starts and holds. Great to see that he picked his game up. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I live in the NY/NJ metro area, and up until about week 3, so many people we're complaining about him. Twords the end of the season actually heard a couple callers saying they were happy with him. Quote Link to comment
