my eyes wandered to your post after is saw "huge bookends"....lol......thats a pretty piss poor assessment. ESPN.com sucks imo....everything is insider insider insider.....they can suck whats inside my jeans.
This guy seems to look up Stats, and write an article. Hey, they gave up 34, they?re a decend pass blocking team. D?Brick is listet with 6?6 312lbs, he?s big. They were bad at run blocking, but had bad RBs behind them, they?re a average OL. We didn?t give up more sacks, cuz we always had 6-7 guys in to Passblock. We kept our FB in most of the time and often also our TE or HB.
Wow, that was funny. Clement is huge at 6'8 320 but D'Brick is a long armed skinny 6'6 295 franchise LT that can't even stay above 300 pounds, that has got to change. He better get his weight together by training camp and keep it steady at around 315 and 320. As much of JETS fan I am, it's not easy being patient with a player taken in the top five in the 1st round and he be considered a safe pick and that player still has a whole bunch of question marks to correct with his game and the same questions keep arising every year like a broken record. I want Chad Pennington standing in a upright position for 16+ games, with the run game looking legit especially on runs to the left side. I want to see a mean streak for 16+ games from the LT position and not a TE helping you out 95% of the time every game when he should be running routes down field. D'Brick the JETS organization needs you to emerge and make a PRO-BOWL or at least get strong consideration.
He doesn't need to be 315 lbs. Look at Walter Jones, he was an even 300 for most of his career and is now 305. Brick started 16+ games at LT for a playoff team, the offense didnt skip a beat. If you expected anything more from a rookie at that spot, I dunno what to tell ya. Would you have preferred Robert Gallery's rookie season? Mike Williams maybe? As for the Ol ranking...we are truly an average unit, so that part is accurate, however we should fall somewhere in the 12-15 range w/ Mangold/Brick's upside.
