BuffalOhio Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 If someone could make the AFC championship game with Sanchez, then anything is possible. And what was it that allowed them to win with a rookie QB? Dare I say that the offensive line is the most important thing? How have the 'geniuses' at OBD not known this for the last 15 years?

Astrobot Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 If someone could make the AFC championship game with Sanchez, then anything is possible. What Made This Possible was a Jets Offensive Line they built through the draft (Duh-Bricka shaw Ferguson, Mangold), and through intelligent FA signings (Faneca from Pittsburgh, Woody from Detroit). This is the FIRST thing Gailey must do. We have bookend guards that'll do just fine next year. Now we need bookend tackles, with at least one (and likely 2) being signed before the beginning of training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix the OL and run, run, run to help the defense stay off the field. They can't fix everything overnight, so I say find some beaten up vet like Kerry Collins to come in and compete with Fitzpatrick and take a flyer on a rookie QB no earlier than round 3. Target your franchise QB next year. Depending on who is available, ideally, I'd like the draft to fall something like: 1. OLT 2. LB 3. Another OL, DE or LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer moving Wood to center and Butler back to guard and get two starting tackles. If Okung is available, I thinkwe will take him. If Edwards is ok from his concussions to come back, I am not against going with him. Despite the nonsensical ramblings of some people, he can be a good QB. He has only been in the league for 3 years and has not had much protection or anywhere to go with the ball. His arm isn't as bad as people want to make it out to be either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft an LT to join Levitre/Hangartner/Wood/Butler, and work with what you've got for depth (Meredith, Bell, Scott, Chambers - dumping the weakest of them). Seems like a no-brainer to me.

It's funny how these talking heads have basically told it like it is for the past decade and some buffoons get mad like it's their fault. It's Ralph's fault, not John Clayton or Jerry Sullivan. You don't have to follow this team 24-7 to identify the problems here. Like Belichick said in an interview a couple months ago, to be bad in the NFL you have to do A LOT of things wrong.

Big Turk Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 One made the all rookie team and the other was even better than him til his leg got broke. I cannot recall a single play seeing Eric Wood getting manhandled. I saw numerous times where he was the one manhandling the opposition, but never him getting manhandled. Levitre got manhandled a few times early in the year but was greatly improved by the end of the year and I can't recall him really getting manhandled past week 9 or 10... What is he talking about?? Wood and Levitre could be a pro-bowl tandem for years to come for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
