That would actually be a pretty good idea for both teams. After what the Jets saw from their D last night, they should still want to go for it. I'd offer him for a 2nd, then negotiate down to a 3rd if needed.

If Howell gets hurt, might as well tank the season anyways and/or see if Fromm is magically some rabbit out of a hat.

One of my work buddies is a Jets fan. Since the Commanders are the NFC version of the Jets we commiserate a lot.

Re: Around the League Week 1

Watching last night, I couldn't help feeling the Jets created the situation by not building a solid OL. AR was under pressure from the start, and Wilson often running from it. They spent all that money on AR and can't keep him upright?

That's a worrying parallel with us. We're going to face a lot of good pass rush teams this season, including those same Bills. If they aren't looking for FA and trade upgrades hard, we could be in the same boat as the Jets.

Expect going from SH to Brissett is a tiny hop down from a children's play set with a padded floor to land on

Versus going from AR to Wilson is falling out of a jet plane in flight

the stakes are entirely different

All this season is is an opportunity for the Harris group to see what they have ; they have plenty of scape goats to lay blame on for a shit season.

this season we should hope for a playoff caliber team or a total bust. the worst that could happen is the team performs average or just below and Harris and company really don't know what they have; this holds true for SH as well.

If SH comes out and has an average year and your on the fence whatever to build on him or cut bait; it puts the franchise in a tough spot.

If we were not holding out hope on Haskins the year we drafted CY, at #2 we probably had been looking at some great QBs, sigh.

I get what you mean, but I was drawing a parallel not a direct comparison. I just feel that if you want SH to succeed (who doesn't?) then this is a lesson. You want your QB to succeed, keep him upright. Of course if RR really needed to be taught that lesson after all this time, then it's already too late.

the pass protection was there, the line failed on the run.

SH holds the ball way too long.

By the end of this season either through injury or incompetent play; JB will get his shot.

I hope SH does well too but man I just don't see it yet.

Give him to the bye week to see what he has. He'll get there. Just needs more starts.

JB has had plenty of shots. He isn’t good. Not as a starter. Sam would definitely have to get hurt for him to get another shot. With this oline that is entirely possible.

Definitely a head scratcher, but then again, Rodgers was always able to play behind a suspect o-line in the past. I guess his age finally caught up to him.

He had really good lines in Green Bay. Not here. Bechton is a bust.

All we know after two starts with Sam is we need to see more.

On a serious note, it is good to see that a lot of the issues with both Sam and the offensive line are fixable. For the o-line, it is having more experience working together, and for Sam it is fixing those little mistake and not repeat them (as you punch said, all coachable).

Thank You!! If people can’t see the difference between SH vs Heinecken and Wentz they must be blind.
