Popular Post AFJF Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 Not many bright spots yesterday but he was one of 'em. Re-watching the game and it may be his best all-around game I've seen him play as a pro. Better than Fant was in weeks 1 and 2 IMO. Gave up ground on a couple of plays where he was able to drop anchor and hold off the rusher. Last season there was no stopping once a rusher got him on his heels. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Glad to hear that i thought Sam end zone pick may have been a rushed throw due to Edoga getting pushed back but that was the only time I noticed RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SackExchangeNYJ Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If Edoga somehow develops into at least a competent starting RT, it means the team can cut ties with Fant after this year and free up a lot of money. Fant's contract was structured with an out for the Jets after one year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Barry McCockinner Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 Not surprising considering he was good at RT last year before he was forced into LT. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Becton and Edoga prove to be good starting caliber OTs then at least the Jets have something to build around. Drafting a C or OG on Day 2 next year is a must IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdels62 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Good. Edoga and Fant make good depth for this team for the next 2 years. We have the cap so I don’t see the point in cutting Fant. Unless we draft Sewell I’m fine with those two opposite Becton for the next 2/3 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the new coaching staff can get him back to the level he played at before he started playing for Adam Gase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AFJF Posted September 28, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 FWIW, PFF posted their grades for yesterday's game. Edoga graded out at 78.5 which makes it his best grade ever. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot-Face Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Tbh, I didn't really watch Edoga, but if he had a good game, then that can only be good for Sam Darnold Trevor Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'm somewhat concerned at how bad Fant looked the first 2 weeks and Douglas decided to give him money this offseason instead of just letting Edoga play RT. It's very reminiscent of Kalil over Harrison. For a guy that is supposed to be this great OL dude, not the best look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edoga is only capable of playing RT, and Beachum was only capable of playing LT. Conklin is failing miserably in Cleveland so it wasn't a terrible decision in hindsight. There weren't really any other good OT's (especially not ones who could play LT) on the market. The big mistake was signing Van Roten instead of going after Graham Glasgow to handle RG duties. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine Fant protecting Sam's blindside? Shell is a starter to btw. Give him credit for at least acknowledging the existence of an OL but lots of questionable decisions so far.

What if all 4 of the top guys had gone in the top 10? He'd have had to settle for more of a "project" LT, who wouldn't have been able to start Week 1. Bringing back Beachum could have always been an option, I suppose, but its not like anyone across the league thought highly of the guy. He signed very late in the offseason with Arizona, and even there is playing RT, not LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Jackson made it 5 IMO so that wasnt really realistic with 3 projected QB's going top 10 but ok say it did, the more prudent decision would have been to resign the guy who's proven he could LT for a season and knows the system in Beachum in that situation. Why bring in a maybe? Clearly since he did draft a LT, Beachum could play RT. OL would be better than it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Goodman Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Good depth piece. Seeing so many of our previous project offensive linemen start for other teams makes me think that we have been giving up on players with potential too soon.

Fair but I didnt expect to downgrade the position either. JD's job is to know more than us. Edoga was on the roster on a 3rd RD rookie contract and he went a paid Fant who's early returns, suck. Again, why not sign Beachum? Many of us were asking for that to happen, even after signing Fant. It's less about Edoga and more about the continued mismanagement of the roster.

It's less about Edoga and more about the continued mismanagement of the roster. Fant has been fine at RT. I haven't even noticed him during the games which is a good thing for an offensive lineman. And Edoga was awful last year, he was a turnstile. Fant was a severe upgrade to him based on last year's production. Edoga may have gotten better but that doesn't mean the position wasn't upgraded based on 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Fant has been ok. Ok FA T’s cost a lot of money. Per PFF, which I think is pretty good with OL, Fant is at a 61, Shell a 62.3. Shell will make more money with his roster bonuses. Edoga played better than both of them. Edoga does not have a 16 game body. Not yet. Maybe never. Edoga was not the reason the Jets lost this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
