Great job Steve! As a Jet fan since the teams 1960 inception as the NY Titans I can imagine many Jets fans wont appreciate this article as they will find it difficult to view through their rose colored 🤓 glasses. But like it or not it’s on the money. The Jets have being trying to cut and past on their o-line since D’Brickashaw retired. There has been a revolving door at both OT positions for a decade. Most feel the Jets have a great defense. Well they should because the majority of their draft capital and salary expenditures have been on the defensive side of the ball. The Jets have a great opportunity to buck this trend next month. We have two 33 year old OT’s coming off injuries. Sound familiar? It should. Because over the last 4 seasons this has been the exact same scenario. Other than Becton the names have changed but we have gone into training camp the last 4 seasons with both presumed starters attempting come backs from injuries. So with a talented OT draft class this is the time to fix this seemingly endless position failure.
Thanks. You’re right in that it all goes back to poor drafting. Then they’re resigned to plugging holes at the most important positions, like tackles, with FAs.
