    What a beast! AVT is a lock for Probowl but I hope he can make it to All Pro team as well.

    Team MVP. Shows how good and important drafting high quality OL are.

    He's awesome! Next draft we'll put some other studs around him.

    Team-oriented and ultra-talented. It's astounding how well he's playing going from position to the next. That big trade up is looking better by the day. I think we have one of the NFL's best offensive linemen

    I understand the Jets have shuffled the line out of necessity but I’d like to see them settle AVT in somewhere now. If it’s right tackle, it’s right tackle the rest of the way. They did him a disservice by moving him from left guard to right guard for an overrated free agent.

    I can see him being a right tackle and he reminds me a lot of Elgton Jenkins who they love in Green Bay. But let’s get him some consistency for the sake of improving the player.

    After buying a black Jamal Adams jersey when the new jerseys were announced, I swore to myself that I wouldn't buy another current player's jersey.

    AVT, Sauce, GW, Breece, and Zach are making things really tough for me right now.

    If AVT doesn't make the Pro Bowl and get on an All-Pro team this year, it's rigged. Dude is an absolute monster and might be the best player on this team.

    This is exactly what RB Michael Carter said after the game.
    Well said JV. Settle him at RT and forget about RT for 10 years.

    Not to hijack the thread but dhgate.com for all your jersey needs. I promised myself I would never buy another jersey with how often these players move to teams so I'll drop the $20-$30 on a fake jersey from china every year. Just had to chime in on that. Website is legit, can DM me if you want the name of the seller I used.

    Best Oman on the team. Thank you JD for this gem... now next draft get a LT and C and we will be set.

    If AVT can continue playing tackle well, he should play tackle. We can always get a guard if we have to, and this can take care of the Mekhi Becton problem in the long run.

    Aw man he's a cracker.

    He'll always be Alijah Vera Duckworth to us Brits though.

    (Google Vera Duckworth).

    mitchell looks good too. may be best to make AVT the LT for his career and find another guard or just keep herbig.
    Fant wasn't playing well and is hurt. brown is a stop gap. that means for 2023 the line would be AVT-Tomlinson-McGovern-Herbig-Mitchell

    Its ikely fant's injury contributed to his poor play. when he returns will he be 2001 fant or 2002?

    he returns will he be 2001 Fant or 2002? Mitchell will return. Even Becton might come back next year healthy. We just don't know how 2003 plays out. We could have a boat load of riches or an empty bucket. I am pretty sure JD will have intense focus on the Oline as well as linebacker.

    Mr A,,, (GasedAndConfused is too long. Asking for permission to call you Mr A.)

    Next year's draft. What is your strategy for OL? Another 1st or second rounder or wait until 3 or 4 ala Mitchell style?

    You start to understand how Blessed players feel to wake up every weekend and continue playing their dream out in NFL

    For AVT ...his musical spots on the OL just mean he can extend his brilliant career as a Swiss Army knife lineman

    Great guy!
