unbanmadmike1 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Good enough if the jets had a QB and any playmakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He has his not so good moments, but is not an automatic turnstile like Hunter. No idea about his salary, but good depth player if we get a legit RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best RT in football wouldn't make this a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanks9596 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I cannot believe that THIS is what we were all so worried about during training camp. He's good. He's fine. Get me a quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblivius Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Overall, he's done well. He needed the exposure to show his value. As long as he continues self improvement, he'll be fine. OL depth is more needed at guard going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I just noticed that PFF has the Jets OL ranked 14th overall, which makes you realize just how putrid Sanchez and Greene really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I just noticed that PFF has the Jets OL ranked 14th overall, i think that's low. more like 4th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 i think that's low. more like 4th overall. There's nothing you can point to to make the case that they're a top-ten OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 O-line is not a problem now and it never was. We've all been spoiled. It's like watching Kyle Wilson give up a touchdown and saying he's a bust because of that, when it's really just a matter of Darelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie being all-world. On winning teams, Austin Howard is the kind of guy you have - the kind that wasn't drafted high and isn't paid much and yet quietly does his job. I think the Jets will look to upgrade LG or RT in the draft, but compared with QB, WR, RB, TE and OLB it isn't really a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched the Giants O get crushed largely because they can't block at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason423 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Without taking the penalties into account I have the Jets pass protection rankings right now at 8th in the NFL. Its primarily on the strength of Ferguson who has been terrific this year. He ranks 5th in the NFL which is pretty great considering who is his QB. Unfortunately Bricks career progression is up a year down a year which is a trend he needs to break. Howard ranks 58th out of 72 players and is overwhelmed at the position which is why the Jets will look to move away from him. In terms of rushing yardage I break the teams down into yards gained before contact per attempt. The Jets are essentially average in that category allowing 1.77 YPA before the runner is contacted. The league average is 1.73. Runners do a play a role in that as well but its a pretty solid judge. Greene is around 1.68 YPA while Powell ranks 7th at 2.24 YPA. I dont think the line miraculously blocks better for Powell. I think the primary difference is that Greene is a stutterstep runner that doesnt go for the hole if it isnt gigantic whereas Powell does. I think if you put a better runner and QB on the team you could arguably state that the Jets offensive line would grade out top 6 or 7 in the NFL and that is with a deficiency at RT in the passing game.
