The Ekwonu situation is weird because Rhule wants him to play guard and heS blocked at OT by Christensen, who quietly had an elite Combine. On the right side, they have Taylor Moton, who gave up on sack in 1150 snaps last year and was just extended for 4 years/$72 million dollars. 
 

Christensen’s combine, fwiw:

 

I mean, the issue with Ekwonu isn’t that he’s not playing tackle, it’s that he’s a sixth overall pick who that team wants to win the starting job but his struggles in pass protection are making that impossible. If he was good in pass pro I’m sure they’d have no problem kicking Christensen inside or having him be a backup swing tackle. This also exactly meshes with why he didn’t make sense for the Jets, which I know we went back and forth on pre-draft. We wouldn’t feel any better about RT this year if it was the fourth overall pick getting smoked off the edge than we would if it was Edoga.

Christensen is a second year third round old guy (part of that loaded BYU line that made me question taking and playing Wilson early) who was pretty average last year. It’s not like he had a great first year and had a stranglehold on that position heading into camp.

In my opinion it’s kind of like if Bryce Hall was beating out Sauce for the starting corner spot because Sauce was struggling in man coverage. Hall isn’t a bad player, a little better than Christensen on PFF last year as a comparison point, but the top ten pick should be taking a stranglehold on that job.

Lots of us did. Softball prediction. Love me some Sauce but Ickey was right there at #4.

Meanwhile. Ickey is playing guard and playing.........icky!

Duane Brown can wait. By simply not signing on Saturday and waiting for the Becton injury he made extra money. 

He hasnt signed so to this point he hasnt made a cent.  If Mitchell looks great in Fridays game, that offer could be rescinded or decreased.

I agree!  people going nuts on here because Zach was "only" 8 for 12; I cannot imagine the amount of heart attacks and strokes if the Jets had taken Ickey and he was playing like reports are showing.

See I'd rather the opposite. Put them to the test to see what we actually have at RT. Eventually our QB is going to have to hold on to the ball, best time to test that out isn't in week 1 lol.

Do you wanna have a QB going into week 1? Lol 

[nycdan]

I think for the Eagles game, I would stack an extra TE or RB on the line to help block that right side.  It's a preseason game.  We don't need to trot out the five-wide formation.  We need to keep everyone healthy.

The deal he would’ve signed on Saturday is less valuable than the deal he’ll sign if he sign now because there is more need, that’s just how it works. Also if Max Mitchell does well against Philly nothing really changes except he’ll probably make McDermott or Edoga expendable.

This actually couldn't be further from the truth.  Jones is having a very bad camp...

In fact most are saying Bailey Zappe has been the best QB in camp.

Tua also lighting it up.

And of course how would you know from your computer what Mitchell is or isn’t?  Maybe he can play meanwhile Ickey has struggled and has been pushed to G where we’re fine

Or you wait him out longer and perhaps he gets nervous and drops his price.  This is of course contingent on Mitchell or Edoga showing fairly well as a stop gap.

Mad Max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Love it!!  Get him in there and let him manhandle people.

My guess is that Brown knows he can wait a week and let teams start panicking about their OL situation, and then just pick the situation he wants.

And that could work or it could backfire if the team he prefers going to signs someone else.

I read the same.  There was concern over strength based on a pretty pathetic bench press number (for an olineman)

not mentioned as weakness either

 

Weaknesses

Doesn't always play to his arm length.

Can improve at bringing feet with him through the run block.

Needs to keep feet moving and engaged at the top of the rush.

Inconsistent to cinch up and control attackers with his hands.

Glitchy redirection with his feet against an inside move.

Lacks consistent calm during mirror and scramble situations.

 

 

I have not seen him play either so we shall see in these pre-season games how he does

Ball was in the air, and GW takes his eyes off it for a second to see Zach Wilson start texting his mom.  GW drops the Mike White pass and ZW puts his phone away.

of course.  Especially in this offense.

Go look at Aaron Rodgers numbers - Throw the ball short and let your playmakers do the work.  Obviously you have to throw the ball downfield as part of it - but you are correct it is a bullsh*t comment.

And this is one practice after he got sacked 100 times.  I said after that one that the offense has to adjust and help the qb with the pass rush.

I honestly don't recall where I read it or what it pertained to (pro day or if he was at combine?). 

I didn't know who  he was when we drafted him so I Googled. First thing that came up was his #1 pff CFB OT ranking. ... to which that plus 4th round seemed weird and I dug further. 

It basically said he was a later round pick based on the smaller school he went to and the black eye bench press number in an otherwise mediocre RAS for olineman.

I forgot,  

The other knock they had on him was his inability to keep weight on during the season.

And I’m not even a Zack Wilson defender.

But that‘S such bullsh*t typical Jets hate comment.

”Smart quarterbacks take what the defense gives you…”

”Zack Wilson can’t make accurate short range throws…”

(Takes what the defense gives him)

(Makes accurate short range throws)

”ahhh those were only short range throws”

It happening Jet fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  10-15 years of dominance under Joe D and Robert Saleh.  After fumbling around for years, somehow we stumbled upon Joe and Robert.

It happens.  The Bucs were a joke at one point, the saints wore bags over there heads, the packers in the 80s were a disaster.

We got 2 generation talents at the top of this organization.  Its finally happened.  Enjoy fellas!!!  What a ride we are about to go on!

 

[Jethead]

Not a bad idea to give Mitchell a long look if he has flashed in camp. Chiefs started 2 rookie OL last year and their line drew raves. Still expect they will sign a vet though.
