Especially at the OT spots but also lately at the G spots too. You don't need an elite Box Safety to win a championship. In fact its one of the least important positions on the field. Also there are 5 positions on the OL. Only 2 Safety spots. So obviously the volume of OL on the market will be higher. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were actually probably closer to awful than elite. The Eagles line that won a SB was a patchwork group due to injuries. Broncos from '15 were an average group. The Patriots are the only SB winner in the last 5 years were they had an elite OL. The Jets need to upgrade their OL no question, but to say you have to have an elite OL to win a title seems a bit of hyperbole 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box safety nonsense and all that goes with it doesn't say trade Adams. No matter how many times you repeat yourself 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets need to upgrade their OL no question, but to say you have to have an elite OL to win a title seems a bit of hyperbole Per FO, KC had the # 4 pass protecting OL in the league this past season. They did suck in run blocking, but that doesn't matter much for a team that relies on the pass. Several other playoff teams last year had elite OLs. Baltimore (# 8 pass, # 3 run); Green Bay (# 10 pass, # 6 run); New Orleans (# 3 pass, # 1 run); New England (# 5 pass, # 9 run). You're right that Philly did not have an elite OL in 2017. But they were more than servicable. # 12 in pass blocking, # 22 run blocking. Denver, same thing. # 13 pass blocking, # 17 run blocking. Obviously much of it has to do with the QB. QB's can make their bad/mediocre OL's look better by making proper pre-snap reads. But it seems clear you need to have an above average pass-blocking line to win a title, at the very least, especially if you don't have an elite QB. And that's not easy to build. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess your definition of elite is different than mine and I'll leave it at that. Agreed though, OL is important and needs a serious upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like the Pats, Saints and Ravens (Flacco era), would spend a premium on their interior OL and would recruit JAGs OTs. The metrics told them their pocket QB needed a clean pocket to step up in.

What the Pats do is irrelevant because they cheat and get away with holding every play. Brees is short so he needed interior OL to able to hold their blocks and create "vision holes" he could see through. And all 3 were QBs complete statues. With Sam we need to be able to "move the pocket" and get him throwing on the run. Even if Gase is resistant to that, it's what he's going to try to do when he doesn't immediately see someone open or someone to "throw open".

With Sam I'd say RT, RG and C would be your more important positions to strengthen. He loves to roll right and is very effective doing so. It takes away some of the field so you can't do it all the time, but if you can keep that side clean in front of him, I think he can be very effective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
