Stop gap or long term solution? Look's like he's handled himself OKAY out there this year.

Good enough if the jets had a QB and any playmakers.

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.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

If the Jets draft a RT high or sign one for big money in free agency it would be a huge mistake. This team needs playmakers. The best RT in football wouldn't make this a good team.

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.

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.

I just noticed that PFF has the Jets OL ranked 14th overall, which makes you realize just how putrid Sanchez and Greene really are.

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.

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.

Agreed. I just watched the Giants O get crushed largely because they can't block at RT.

If it weren't for the buttfumble, the play the Packers just ran on special teams would be the dumbest play of the year.

O RLY????

(Chandler)'s a nice piece as long as he's the 7th most important player on your roster....I think they're going to be disappointed when they see he's just a pumped-up Drew Gooden.
