    Every game he is listed as the starter.
    I think I can count on my hand the number of times I have physically seen him on the field.
    NFL stats have him with 1 tackle all season.

    Am I missing something? Does he really play at all?

    He seems to get snaps mostly on running downs as a rotational guy. He seems to be eating up blockers decently but not be the type to shed blockers and make plays. I have yet to really notice a play where I think he should have held that gap, but may have missed a few.

    He’s getting snaps for sure, just doing the job of an average 34 lineman.

    He's been in about 40% of defensive plays and started 3 out of 5 games. I don't know about today.

    We knew he was raw coming in. Was anyone expecting him to put up all-pro numbers his first season?

    No, not really but maybe thought he may have got a mention off the commentators once or twice :)

    Nah - I was just asking because I watch every snap of every game and truly have not seen him even though they list his as the starter.
    I actually had to look up his number yesterday which is pretty telling.

    Agreed. Fire Macc. Never draft defense.

    Strange pick from Macc seeing how he usually drafts “safe”. He’s definitely a project.

    There was plenty here that thought he was gonna be a stud Day ONE. The deck was stacked against him from the beginning. The level of competition he played, Canadien, learning an entirely new position, OT/OG as big or even bigger than him. Another swing and miss from Macc.

    Yeah, Macc should have been drafting a little conservative last draft. The Jets had less high picks after the Darnold trade. Don't know what they saw in this guy.

    He went to school with Rex Ryan's son so we drafted him and put him on the 53

    Canadian Thanos went straight to the sequel. The one where he disappears.
