    He's solid, an above average starter at his position, hopefully he resigns on the cheap

    Ivory ran predominantly to the right side behind Colon and Howard last week against the Saints, including his 52 yard scamper from our own end.

    Bohannon got a great block there. Not taking anything away from Howard, just an observation. Hill actual made a really good block that play too after. Contained the DB for a long time.

    Hard to judge how Howard does here, but he's definitely not hurting the run in any way.

    The guard pulling, I think Winters, does a nice job of blocking a Saints player as well. Bohanon/Winters did good by each blocking separate guys and clearing whole. I'm not sure if thats an "on the fly" move or if its predetermined. Either way, def a nice whole opening.

    I agree he has been improving. Obviously he has been a huge upgrade over Hunter. But I am concerned that Mangold and Ferguson seem to be in a bit of a decline.

    It is hard to single out individual linemen unless they are especially good or especially bad. I do not think that anyone with the possible exception of Mangold (very good) or Ducesse (very bad) fits into either category.

    With that being said, our line has done very good job of run blocking but have been a lot closer to average at best when it comes to pass blocking.

    Hopefully as Winters develops they will do a better job of protecting Geno.

  9. I'm not sure there is a better RT in the NFL. That isn't to say the guy is an all pro or anything..their just aren't alot of quality right tackles these days.

    Jets would be wise to re-sign him.They don't really have a back-up plan unless Aboushi makes MAJOR strides.

    I haven't heard Howard's name mentioned once this season. I gotta believe that's a very good thing.
