When they play well the offense plays well. If you thought the O-line was playing better, it's because they were up against mediocre d-lines. They can't hold up against good d-lines. Sacks, penalties, Qb pressures, & poor run blocking . The Jets go as the O-line goes. Joe needs to get us some O-line help.
Agreed. Our priority is to improve the OL in the offseason. If not, this team is going nowhere. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Well we always have the OL excuse, please this team is the laughing stock of the NFL, if you're new to the fanbase, get the hell out, before they destroy you.
Which many fans have been saying since this years draft. And the head coach didn’t do a fucking thing to improve it over the five months before the season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If macagnan had not drafted 2 safeties or decided to go bargain shopping for OL in Rounds 4 on this discussion wouldn't be happening BTW Gase is also a terrible Coach...doesnt help things
Well we know where JoeD's focus will be. Probably already has been since day he walked in. Joe's probably been watching more college games this season than in all previous combined. He knows he needs to find 3 or 4 good O-line upgrades. Tall order, but Joe's the man! Pretty safe to say we won't be drafting any more D-lineman for a bit.
Tick tick fuckin tick. The online moves 1000% backfired. There is zero excuses going forward. IDGAF where, how.. Picks, fa.. zero but it has to start NOW. You're destroying a once in a lifetime pick that actually panned out for us. The stadium is empty. The owners are running this as a business and not a franchise. There are so many issues that will go away by just fixing the line
But I do think offensive line is arguably the 2nd most important unit after the QB. Some people like to say pass rush is 2nd most, but I disagree. With a good offensive line even the best pass rushes are mitigated. In this offense first league, buying more time for your QB to make his reads and receivers to become open is important. Even a mediocre receiver will eventually get open given enough time. I've used Sanchez in 2010 as an example in the past. That offensive line gave him enough time and let a good, but not great Thomas Jones become the #1 run offense in the league. Conversely bad offensive lines make everything that much harder to run on offense. The running game never gets going and the QB has no time to throw for even a 10 yard completion. We probably have a bottom 5 offensive line in a league where the offensive line talent isnt great at the moment and that is just making Darnolds job way harder.
We suck at evaluating & selecting talent at every position including OL.Period. The drafting is by FAR this franchise’s biggest detriment.Simply zero idea how to identify talent & build a team
Its probably why we cling to the highest rated defensive tackle prospect because it takes no real drafting intelligence to take those players.
Bring in every lineman available UFAs anybody out there and at least make an effort to build some semblance of a competent O line. I remember the last two weeks of preseason Belidick signed three o linemen. I don’t know if they made the team but he was obvious making every effort to find viable players. Gase sat on his ass and went onto the season with a line EVERYONE knew was incompetent. I don’t give a shit, it’s on him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’d like to see some kind of evaluation of their scouting system. Do our scouts suck, or are their recommendations ignored by management? That would be interesting to know Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
thats pretty much what joe d( the one responsible for the roster) did. Lewis, Khalil were both late late additions. Like qbs, there is a bigger need than than supply. There are not 80 legit starting offensive lineman on the planet. And we’ve spent the last 5 years avoiding adding any of them. mad to beli and New England, you have an easier time filling holes in an established system where the players around the hole understand their jobs and cover for deficiencies. We don’t ever have an established system .
