#27TheDominator Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 They are having trouble with the protections. One reason not to have a rookie C is because they generally call the protections. Becton is getting beat by speed rushes, but otherwise I think the majority of issues, particularly the jailbreaks, are being confused and mis-identifying the rush. Good chance that is at least partially on Tippman and partially on the constantly changing cast of characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 So.....what should Zach Wilson get for his olineman as presents this year? I still recall being about as mad as I have even been at a set of olineman when Darnold got them all personalized BBQ's and BBQ equipment and the razed him for it. The same lousy aholes who got him killed on a weekly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 19 hours ago, Jdeet said: Bad take. Up until last week, he was a top 10 rated center in the NFL with only 1 sack allowed and 11 pressures. Plus he played out of position at RG for 4 games. Considering the amount of instability the offensive line has had, there is no way he could mesh with anyone. He is just as tall and gawky as Ragnow and Connor Williams, and they are the top rated centers in the league, as of now. You cannot judge Tippmann on Sunday. It was an offensive line disaster of epic proportions. He had one bad game. He is a rookie. Putting him in with failures like Becton, Tomlinson, and Turner, isn't fair to the kid.

Green Ghost Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Okay, so if I’m following this correctly the smooth brained consensus here is we can’t judge the 29th ranked Center properly because the OL stinks. However we can judge each of the other four who play on that line and say they suck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we calm the F down please? Let the record show that @Sammybighead is fine with rookie OL who suck, and he gets annoyed when people bring it up.

Green Ghost Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Billy Turner played better than Tippman, Becton and Tomlinson on Sunday. So did the other guy who showed up in a Jets uniform Sunday morning and played RG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmhertz Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 I started this thread, this game he played bad others he's looked OK. The best way we can improve our line is getting rid of the OL coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballLove Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Just like Saleh wants 9-10 starters for his D-line so he never has to send out a player who's gassed, he needs 9-10 starters for his O-line so he never has to send out a player who's injured.

If it all breaks down they all look bad. We need a new coach. Everyone thinks just adding new players will help - gotta draft first round for sure, etc., etc. Well, pretty much every player on our line was picked in the first round aside from Tippman (high 2nd) and whatever right tackle we've had. Stop with the high picks and get some proven vets and a good coach. If we are really high on the board the pick of a smart franchise is QB. We don't have any future plan, like GB did when they picked Rodgers. I hope we can sign a FA tackle, guard and #2 WR. Take another OL with the 3rd pick, 4th pick whatever. Right. And they get that communication by playing together and understanding their roles. If tipp looked bad it was probably caused by Tomlinson and becton looking and playing even worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t there grumbling about this during camp that he was having trouble with the protection calls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said wow they were amazing When Peyton left it turned out to be a total rebuild, Jeff Saturday and 4 goatherders. not that the Jets OL is any good (it's not) but when the QB isn't calling the right protection, isn't finding the hot routes (that's on the WR/TE too) and breaks the pocket in weird ways it's easy to blame the OL the other DC smells blood and sends pressure. They have no run game because no one fears the pass. really, like everything else, this is Zach's fault. The "OL is terrible" is propaganda straight out of Salt Lake City. Yeah it's terrible. But when your 2 overall pick QB isn't playing at an NFL level most of the time it's nearly impossible to have good OL play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
