AFC Whispers

Jets struggling to find right spot for Ducasse

Here are the latest Whispers we're hearing from our sources throughout the AFC :

• The Jets’ rotation at left guard between Matt Slauson and Vlad Ducasse has been an odd fit throughout the season, and O-line coach Dave DeGuglielmo brought more confusion to the situation. In a reportedly fiery meeting with reporters on Thursday, DeGuglielmo said the decision to sub Ducasse is “directed from high above me,” yet another example of personnel issues for this year’s Jets team. The Jets have struggled to find the right situation for Ducasse in his three seasons, and Slauson is set to be a free agent after the season. Ducasse has been considered best in run situations, but it’s unclear if he has shown enough to potentially be a starter should Slauson depart this offseason.

since we are talking about the OL, they are clearly among the top 10 units in the league, Look around at all the injuries that are happening. for the Jets to have all 5 starters healthy, and a 6th healthy player subbing in, that's a huge luxury.

Off topic slightly, but for someone who gets credited for being the best player on the team, Mangold doesnt come off as much of a leader.

THREE UP

1. The offensive line.
After a tough first half, the line turned on the Ground & Pound, controlling the line of scrimmage. The front five blew open holes in the Jaguars’ 31st-ranked defense, allowing the Jets to gain 110 of their 166 yards in the second half.

Ducasse will never learn how to pass block. Good thing the Jets don't plan to throw another pass the rest of the season.
