Sarge4Tide 4,766 #1 Posted July 28 IF Qvale's injury today is serious and causes him to use the start to the season, how will it impact the depth on the offensive line? The 5 starters seem set LT - Kelvin Beachum LG - Kelechi Osemele C - Jonothhan Harrison RG - Brian Winters RT - Brandon Shell Free Agent signee Tom Compton always seemed like a safe bet to be the 6th man backing up both guard spots. Draftee Chuma Edoga always seemed like a good bet to back up both tackles. So that's 7 safe spots. Assuming we need someone to be the back up center - Jon Toth, Toa Lobedahn or a waiver claim, that's 8 spots. So, we probably need one more. G/T Ben Braden, who is the most Qvale-like physically and positionally, OT Eric Smith, claimed off the patriots practice squad last season and OT Calvin Anderson, an UDFA waived by the patriots after starting at Texas last year, might fight it out for the last OL roster spot left open by Qvale's injury Two Jets UDFAs: Tyler Jones and Wyatt Miller both have potential but seem more like Practice Squad options - they should play a lot in the preseason, so we will keep an eye on them. Former Bears draftee C/G Jordan Morgan is a dark horse 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetpain 174 #4 Posted July 28 He's average at best. If his loss is a big loss this team is in big trouble. You don't want to see anyone get injured but I think finding a replacement for him should not be that difficult. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was going to be almost my exact reaction. We lost a depth guy, thereby leaving us with less depth. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AL047 27 #14 Posted July 28 With Qvale getting hurt, it does hurt the Jets depth. They need to check the waiver wire on a week to week basis to see if they find another olinemen to replace Qvale. They also need to find more depth at the center position as well as the tackle position. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyCarl40 52,011 #15 Posted July 28 The line is average to believe average as a whole. Losing any sense of depth is obviously bad. I doubt they make any big splashes because of this because they should have been looking already. 2020 is probably when they address the offensive line seriously. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flgreen 26,904 #22 Posted July 28 I know everyone is blowing this off as "no big deal, Qvale sucked". Actually he didn't. Certainly not a "Pro Bowl" type player, but he was very good as a back up. Qvale sucked as a LT, but IMO he was just below starting quality RT. I actually thought he was just as good as Shell, but I think the prior CS thought Shell had a higher up side. Mostly because of his last name IMO. Qvale was also a decent RG in a pinch. When he was in at either position I really couldn't tell the difference in the OL play. He might be a difficult guy to replace as a back up. Hope one of these young guys is up to the task 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Integrity28 67,942 #24 Posted July 29 If Qvale was what we considered "good depth", then we never had depth in the first place. I doubt there's any drop-off between him and whoever Joe D skims from other teams cuts. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCJet 2,001 #35 Posted July 29 18 hours ago, JetsFanNick12 said: Jets need to call the redskins right now Qvale is not a loss (I feel bad for anyone who gets injured, but im speaking just about his ability as a player. Teams should not have guys like Qvale on their team except for emergencies. He isnt young enough to develop nor is he young enough to have upside, while at the same time he isnt as good as other veterans who will shake lose at cutdowns. There is simply no way he is marginally better then someone like Braden, who does have some upside. Lets hope our younger guys develop and can provide depth behind compton. As for the Redskins - shefter tweeted yesterday that the relationship between the redskins and Williams is too fractured to repair. Beachem and a 3 - get it done.
