    The only Ghostbuster is Sam. Highly doubt you want to name your O-Line after a terrible moment for your young QB. That is already in the rear view mirror. My thoughts on the O-Line: Just be quiet and protect your franchise! ;)

    There have been plenty of great NFL offensive lines within NFL history. How many of these O-Line(s) have ever had nicknames? Not many.

    The Great Wall of Dallas
    The Hoggs
    The Electric Company

    Those are the only ones I can think of. I can think of other lines that were as good or better than those, but didn't get a nickname (at least not a nickname I ever heard):

    90's Broncos
    '65--75-ish Raiders
    '75-'85-ish Rams
    '70's Cardinals
    '85-'93-ish Oilers

    I get the excitement over possibly having an improved OL, but let's pump the brakes a bit and wait and see if they're actually worth a nickname besides "Worst".

    I think 'The Sack Exchange' could be a great name for our o-line.

    That was the name of our DL back in the '80s with Joe Klecko, Mark Gastineau, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam.

    I know, I caught the latter stages of it, from 1983 onwards.

    I just remembered the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football had a nickname for their offensive line, back in 1990. They called themselves 'The Nasty Boys' and it stuck. Doug Marrone was the center and I interviewed him, Steve Gabbard, Paul Berardelli. Good times.

    I really don't mind, it wasn't said with any malice! Me and NCJetsfan are cool.

    Understood, I just thought the idea of someone assuming you just came up with the 'the sack exchange' idea and feeling compelled to "school you on it" was pretty funny.

    Actually a strong OL will prevent his ever seeing them again. It's also healthy to be able to laugh at ourselves. That said, I was only joking before. Giving themselves a name like that would only serve to make opposing pass rushers more determined to embarrass them and sack Sam.

    Haha, I know everyone is joking! Just a fun thread. I definitely put that game and moment behind me though and don't want to be reminded about it. I know Sam could care less, which is the right attitude to have. Also, if you can reverse a negative situation and make it positive, that is fine by me. I just want Sam to be protected by solid offensive line, as every other Jets fan does. :)

    Quit trying to start trouble!!!! Keep you opinions to yourself regarding me!!!

    I realize that you have reading comprehension issues, and are severely lacking in intelligence and civility, but I had mentioned "The Sack Exchange" first, so I knew that he didn't just come up with the name. There are a lot of younger posters on here who don't know about Jets' history. I didn't realize he was making a joke, trying to be funny. I thought maybe he didn't know about the sack exchange and was trying to be helpful. I wasn't trying to "school" anyone. Someone sure needs to school you in civility, however. You are the saddest, most wretched excuse for a human being that I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
