JPP's hand looks like it is holding up

Watching the NFL replay and he had no problem using his right hand to get the strip sack to end the half.

Obviously its not as good an un blown up hand, but at least it looks like he has no limitations using it.

Speaking as a guy who almost lost his thumb and pointer finger

It's amazing what hand specialists can do via surgery.

I am sure the procedures JPP had during the off season strengthened and improved his abilities with his hand ten fold compared to his capability last year.

IMO he is outplaying vernon.

which is good and bad at the same time. I expected more thus far from Vernon.

Can't complain about Vernon

very few times have I seen him make mistakes. Most times he's playing the system perfectly and he's still getting shots. The only 'negative' has been the penalty against the redskins. Him and Snacks have been worth their money, I just hope the rest of the areas that were not bolstered can hold up

Was listening to Shaun O'Hara and he said that Vernon has

gone against 3 of the top left tackles the first 3 weeks. Expects him to start getting some sacks as the level of LT play goes down.

Also JPP has blocked at least two passes that I can remember with his blown up hand and didnt act as though it hurt.

But,

are JPP and Vernon playing at the level we expected from them?

Vernon hasn't been getting sacks

and that's about the only negative. He's dinged up but is far better than anticipated in the run game and paired with JPP makes it almost impossible to stretch runs outside, which happened at will last year.

I think Vernon's "hurts" are

more of a factor than who he might be going up against..

In my opinion both are not

Living up to expectations.
