ECURB Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playernews.aspx?sport=NFL Jets OL Jacob Bender will start at LG in place of the traded Pete Kendall on Saturday. The Jets will start Bender, and if he "implodes" will turn to Adrien Clarke. Bender, a sixth-round pick from Division I-AA, would be protecting Chad Pennington's blind side.

Before that he was at the mercy of a FA that played zero downs last year. No big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad is at the mercy of a 6th round draft pick on his blind side! its ok, . i dont' think its that big of a deal. Who's he going against tonight that would scare you? that dude from BC is overrated, and i don't even think there is strahan to worry about on the other side. If they need to, they can push protection to Bender and we wouldn't be losing anything. I am not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Before that he was at the mercy of a FA that played zero downs last year. No big difference. A FA with starting and game experience at the position... there is a difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 A FA with starting and game experience at the position... there is a difference... Starting experience? Four games? You've got to start sometime. With the usual vanilla preseason I have some faith in Mangini and Bender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Starting experience? Four games? You've got to start sometime. With the usual vanilla preseason I have some faith in Mangini and Bender. He has started 4 games and played in 14 games in his short career... with an entire year missed last season... He has more experience, period. OL is one of the positions where experience means a lot... I hope Bender is good... but Im not crazy for being scared of a 6th round pick from a I-AA school starting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was Matt Light that dove right in and played very well in his rookie season. Same goes for Logan Mankins (although he was a high draft pick).

I don't think you're crazy, but remember last year Norm Katnick started a couple of games! Oh and Clarke "played in" 14 games? That usually means that he blocked on the punt or kick team. Not exactly a sign of great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 thank god Thomas Jones is not playing, that kind of beating in the preseason would not be good for him. The "cry baby" is better than Bender and Clarke combined. Just duck Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
