mrcoops Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 This would be a very good signing if the Jets can close the deal. I think folks are under-rating Brown a bit. Yes, he's getting up in years, but Olinemen can play well late into their 30s. And he's a former 1st round pick, career-long productive starter, 5 time Pro Bowler and 3 time All-Pro. As insurance for Fant/Becton, Brown would be an excellent option. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbloodblitz Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Keep in mind that the last thing a man loses is his power. Lineman on both sides of the ball are not stuntmen.

FootballLove Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 TBH I'm not totally sold on our OL (just yet). It's EZ to think our line will be dominant...it certainly could...but there's just too many ??? for me to feel great about it this soon. There will be elements of our line that will be great, like running behind AVT and Highway 77. We could have the most dominant right side in the entire league. But I worry about Fant repeating. He doesn't have the pedigree of years of success on the left side. Just one year. I worry about the 2nd year. Becton playing on the right side in pass pro is another. Not only his knee holding up, but his pass blocking in general. Once again, he seems to have been beaten by every pass rusher we have on the team. I know he played 'some' RT in college, but I still worry. I'm thrilled to have picked up Laken Tomlinson. He's sooo durable (I think I read somewhere he only missed on game since 2015). I think him and Scherff were the top guards available this FA, and we got the best one (I sure hope so as we're paying him $13m per). But as good as he is, I also recall him getting bull-rushed back into Garoppolo's lap repeatedly during the playoffs, so I need to see him perform well on our line before I can relax. Don't know how much of our line we'll get to see play tonight in the g/w scrimmage (a few series I guess). Duane Brown will be watching from the sidelines (a guest of JD's for the game). I hope he's impressed with the team and Saleh, and decides to sign on here on a team friendly deal. It'd be great to have a solid swing tackle, but I still think JD wants to see how the guys he already has here perform before handing out anything but a minimal contract. Almost game time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewGuyJet Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Ah, to be a Jet fan. As always we absolutely MUST sign every possible FA. Of course, I get that we need a swing tackle ... though I'm not sure how that applies to a guy who has never played RT in his life. I'll just get my popcorn and see how this unfolds.

BigGreenFan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Folks, unfortunately, Duane Brown is not the answer. He was absolutely awful last year. He's unsigned in large part because he gave up 7 sacks and 33 pressures last year. He's 37 years old ... he's done ... it's over for him. I'd rather the Jets sign D'Brickashaw Ferguson -- whose only 1 year older -- if they're going to sign an over-the-hill tackle, lol.

Sign Brown and someone else (Brandon Shell, Darryl Williams) and let them compete. It's the best we can hope for at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
