Didn't see this posted, sorry if it already was. Really liked the bit about him sitting down with Callahan... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14583512/jets-experienced-help-keeps-sanchezs-development-on-line
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold & Brandon Moore have been the glue thats made this offensive line stick sine 2006. We all know Brandon Moore is the most underrated RG in the league. If the Jets can win a SB this year, maybe he'll get the type of respect, around the league, that he's deserved since 04 (the year Martin led all AFC backs in rushing). He's hands down, a top 3 talent @ the RG position. We all know about Mangold. Not only is Nick an All Pro center, but he's also, pound for pound, the most dominating center in the game today. In my eyes, he's been the best NFL center since 2008. It's a blessing that we drafted Ferguson back in 06. He's been a franchise LT since day one. Brick has started each & every game since being drafted, he's the best overall LT in terms of pass protection, & he's also turning into one hell of a run blocker. No one protects the blind side like Brick; he's exactly what you look for in a blue chip LT. Adding Edwards, Holmes & L.T has also helped the development of Sanchez.
Not everyone. Just the clueless "fans". You know, the types of fans who harp over each & every mistake a player makes. Those are the perfect example of fans who have no idea about the game of football. Real Jet fans knew Brick was special since day 1. Yeah, Brick made mistakes during his rookie & sophmore seasons, especially against that Bills DE, but that still never changed the fact that Brick was learning on the fly, making progress, as well as learning from his own mistakes. Starting as a rookie, at the LT position, was good enough for me. One of the 3 most important positions in all of football. Right up there with the QB and 3-4 NT positions. Clueless fans will never understand though. You will always run into fans who attack Brick for an allowed sack, harp all over guys like Edwards & Holmes for every dropped pass, bash Cromartie for getting beat by a WR with a HOF QB in #18 etc, etc.
only those who didn't understand he was still growing as a human being and wasn't a polished LT. All they saw was #4 overall pick and expected him to be Jon Ogden from day one. Same with Sanchez - #5 overall pick and they want Elway already. Patience with this kid, he's going to be amazing
