sure we don"t need to get involved, but we have UTG covered and to win you shouldn"t wait until you need to get involved.

In last nights satellite, I got dealt Js in almost the exact same seating order, but it was fairly early in the tournament. Oh how I did laugh! Anyway, I had been playing some rubbish poker and lost more than 20% of my stack in the first 20 minutes when I was dealt these.
So EP raise, I called, put him on a big ace, and decided to see the flop. Just the two of us saw 3 low cards, and a possible flush draw. EP bet about 2/3 of the pot and I pushed. He pretty insta called ( don"t blame him, I was playing poor) and yee ha the jacks held, and put me in a good spot, was actually CL at the first break.

i hope u won a seat mikey..

JJ are tricky to play and your situation in the early stages with deeper stacks / smaller blinds does warrant just a call.
As long as you can adapt to stack sizes and the style/skill level of your opponents and be aware of your own image there are always a number of ways to approach all kinds of hands...
Like in my case with JJ if i had been at the table for a while and had reads and knew there were a loose aggressive bunch to my left who loved 3bets/squeezes then flat calling hoping for a squeeze is a definite option.
