    I guess the thought they were locking down the left side makes it less sick though

    *ive been team Becton On the right, for a minute.

    Fant and LT is less sick but I’d go with interesting.

    old heads on the left, youngins on the right.

    It's called loyalty to a homegrown I guess.

    We'd love to sign you LT but we want you at RG if you fancy it?

    A simple scenario in the interview or don't sign a FA LG when you didn't need one tbh.

    Just a bit odd to me, you traded up to get the guy you thought was locking down LG for the next 10 years, 1 year on you are shunting him to RG.

    If you look at my mock, I signed Daniels who can play every position including C. JD is obviously not as qualified as me but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and I assume he’s had conversations irl that I’ve only had in my head.

    I meant conversations with the staff, AVT and LT. I sure hope he had those conversations. If he didn’t, I’m ready to make my move…. Who can I count on for a personal reference?

    All my good takes were spot on. All my bad takes, I was jk.

    Fuck me. I guess I’ll settle for Raiders GM to start. (They’ll hire anyone)

    That's what they should do! Vera-Tucker was a high pick for a reason, he should be the one blocking DLmen 1-on-1 as the right guard

    Or is the plan to balance youth with experience on each side of the line?

    I guess this makes sense in theory - put our two best OL, Fant and Tomlinson, on Wilson's blind side.

    Out 2 best OL are LT and AVT, not LT and Fant.
    Unfortunately neither is a Tackle.

    I like that idea. Becton/Tomlinson/McGovern/Vera-Tucker/Fant

    By the way, upgrading from Van Roten to Vera-Tucker is the biggest upgrade in Jets history!

    Fant was a top 10 LT last year. AVT was nowhere near a top 10 LG.

    Interesting development. What I figure is that Saleh wants the best pass blocking he can get from the blind side. LT and AVT had similar run blocking success last year according to PFF (75.3 to 72.5), but LT was a better pass blocker (69.2 to 56.9).

    Or maybe it's just that you can't teach an old dog new tricks!
