Yep. The offensive line is still below average on paper. But if we also address it in the draft, there should be enough talent and depth where it's competent. And in a 3rd year of Sam Darnold, we need to see Darnold live up to his draft stock, and we need to see Gase live up to his offensive genius mantra.

We will get a lot of preseason hype about the offense in training camp, just like last season. Hopefully, this year it carries over, at least until Sam gets coronavirus in Week 2.

It's much better than it was last season, specifically on the interior. 

Getting rid of Winters and adding a competent, steady center like McGovern fixes a lot of problems.  McGovern said himself that he's a perfectionist that hates penalties and mistakes.  Hopefully he will be the leader that unit needs.  Van Roten is another blue collar lineman that rarely gets beat. 

The left side with Fant/Rookie and Lewis worries me a lot, but at least we will be able to run inside and outside zone properly with the out there.

Do you think Lewis stays on the left? Or could GVR play on the left? I would think a stronger vet next to a rookie would be a safer play. At least at RT we will either have a very experienced Fant or a young guy in Edoga who beat him out....

I know you said GVR is versatile, I’m just not super familiar with him

GVR is proven at right guard, but he's played some tackle.  He can play inside and out. 

Lewis needs to stay at left guard for now.  Let Harrison and a rookie compete with him for that spot. 

If we draft someone like Tristan Wirfs or Jedrick Wills, I wouldn't be shocked to see our coaching staff use them at guard early on...especially if Fant and Edoga are doing okay at tackle.

You and me both. I feel like details to other deals have leaked by now. Hopefully he’s on another team friendly deal.

Either way I have to believe OL is done for FA. Now we need to find some semblance of an edge rusher a corner and get Robbie back for cheap

I think we'll sign another tackle before the draft.  You have to fill Brent Qvale's roster spot.   

Jason Peters is still out there...

Do you think Peters would come here to be a depth guy? I just think at 38 if he wants to play he wants a shot to compete to start. Technically that’s possible now, but I just don’t think anybody would believe it. If we want a Qvale guy, I imagine it’s not a guy who might retire in TC if/when he loses the job

If Jason Peters gets beat out by Chuma Edoga he should retire.

Oh I don’t disagree, but if we draft a rookie in round 1, especially if we trade up for an OT, that guy is locked in as a starter, so the fight at RT is between Fant (a guy we are paying basically $10 million to) Edoga and Peters.

As it stands today, Peters makes sense. But once we draft our OT I don’t think it makes sense to pay Peters $6-8 million to be a backup guy or if he beats Fant/Edoga you have Fant making $10 million as swing tackle depth.

I mean our roster is BETTER with Peters no question, I just can’t see a reason to bring him in today given what my expectations are for round 1 of the draft.

I also think if our plan is to replace the Qvale role, we can pay someone Qvale money to do so. I don’t think Peters is coming in for that price

I think it's pretty clear right now the plan for Fant. He gives us a legitimate left tackle in case the draft doesn't go the way we want it to. And if we do draft someone, he can compete with Edoga and the rookie for that spot.

It sure is which is why Wills/Wirf/Becton/Thomas should be a Jet come late April.  OL's an improved work in progress but still minus the cornerstone to protect Sam's blindside.  Fant's swing/insurance

Except he's not a legitimate left tackle

He's a highly capable backup or a project. Whichever tittle you find more fair.

Regardless you're talking about a team whose biggest problem last year was its OL heading into the draft with extremely questionable left and right tackles.

If we sign Beachum I instantly become excited about the OL

Unfortunately we have 10 teams drafting ahead of us l. And 3 of those names could easily be off the board. The thought of having the 4th best tackle in the draft and two highly questionable players competing for both tackle spots doesn't excite me. Plus I think it's bad practice to go into the draft completely dependant on a certain player falling to you.

I think you need to resign beachum. If an OL falls to us, then great, Fart is cutable in a year if he doesn't work out. If one doesn't. Then we have adequate talent to get through the season and we can go bpa or trade down.

Having to NEED a tackle with the first pick in the draft is just too risky.

I'd also be completely cool with signing Jason Peters to a one year contract. Gives us a little flexibility

I’m fine with any of the top 4 OTs. Without going back to look, they all would probably be the top OT if you dropped one of them into any of the past few drafts.

It is a legitimate concern that all 4 might be gone at 11.

I went back to look, because of course I did.

Top OT taken:

2019: 11 - Jonah Williams - CIN
2018: 9 - Mike McGlinchy - SF
2017: 20 - Garrett Bolles - DEN

This list makes me want OT at 11 EVEN MORE


FWIW, 2016 had Ronnie Stanley and Jack Conklin top 10

Sticking with a clear offseason trend for Douglas, GVR, like Fant/McGovern, has position flexibility. Exp at G & C, with ability to kick out & play OT. 

Also a trend: GVR is pretty good in pass protection. 3 total sacks allowed & five QB hits last 2 years (1,144 passing snaps)

I'm not calling draft picks "the lottery"

What I'm saying is we can't control who gets picked in front of us.

Surely you'd agree that having flexibility with your draft picks is superior to needing to draft xyz position with a certain pick.

I'd be thrilled to draft a talented tackle with our first pick. But if we feel theres a superb (whatever) available but NEED a tackle and we're not thrilled about whose available because there was a run on tackles before our pick. Well that's a shitty situation

Maybe I worded it poorly but I'm suggesting I'd rather have flexibility to go BPA/value then to draft on need. And as of right now it looks like we could have to draft on need.

I don't care what you're saying.

You don't know anything about any of the top tackle prospects.  You're just automatically assuming that if three of the four go before our pick and we get the fourth tackle that we're getting the worst of the bunch.

The playcalling was clearly designed to get the ball out of White's hands as quickly as possible, so the rushers didn't really have time to blow GvR up. It is noticeable how many times Hubbard, who was attacking that side of the line, managed to get his hands up and get something on the pass. I don't know if PFF reflect that as a negative on the lineman.

How many passes did Hubbard tip yesterday?  GVR was responsible for every single one of them.

Regardless of how many he actually tipped, he had his hands up on every play. I was begging GVR to dive for his legs on just one of them.

I don't think linemen can do that anymore in the NFL.

I thought the dividing line was the knees.

I thought the dividing line was the knees.

There's some stupid rule "inside the tight end box" where linemen can't block low. 

The way the quick screen game took off is linemen diving below the knee, at shins to drive the defender back. 

Van Roten diving at Hubbard's upper body is a whiff.  He'd have to dive below the knee to get any kind of drop from the defender.

PFF also had Sam Darnold as their number 1 rated QB (line was like 13/24 with 150 yards and no TDs) and Mike White outside of the top 10

GVR's signing ended Brian Winters' Jets career.
Herbig's signing ends GVR's Jets career.
Curious who replaces Herbig once we decide we don't like him

GVR was a Jets fan so he gets a pass.  He does not rank on the list of derriere signings of this franchise.

Robert Saleh on Greg Van Roten: “We’d love to have him back.”

#Jets felt he’d have starting opportunities elsewhere. If he has chance to go and start, they wanted to give him that.


Sounds like, if he can’t find that, the Jets will bring him back.


how about no?

I'd rather bring back LDT.

I have a soxxx feeling LDT is moving back to Canada to do his doctor thing.

GVR is fine as a depth backup who knows the system. Nice of them to give him a chance elsewhere. Doubt he comes back.

LDT could start somewhere else, he's not riding the bench for cheap.  GVR can't start anywhere but would be fine to bring back as cheap depth.

I think it comes down to this as it pertains to those two players. LDT is a better player than GVR. As such LDT will make more money. Do you really want to pay your OG 4 $3-5 million? I can't see any scenario LDT doesn't get at least what GVR was getting before we just cut him. GVR on the other hand, might get less than Herbig who we just claimed to cut GVR. That's the most likely scenario if either guy ends up returning in my opinion anyways.

He's a decent backup.  He's trash if starting.  I'll cut him slack, he was a Jets fan.

He's been sent on a death or glory mission to get Josh Allen killed.

What's with the Bills and our castoff interior linemen? Long, Winters, Van Roten...
