Jets OL Builds on Talent, Fixes Pass Protection | New York Jets News

The Jets’ young offensive line made headlines last season by starting the same five guys every game—proving durability, but also exposing glaring flaws. They protected Geno Smith like a fortress, yet surrendered 60 sacks, a glaring weakness. Meanwhile, they opened holes for Breece Hall’s historic 1,000-yard rushing campaign. With first-rounders Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou anchoring the future, veteran Josh Myers and rising Joe Tippmann provide stability. But change is coming: Dylan Parham replaces departed left guard John Simpson, while Alijah Vera-Tucker’s absence leaves a void. New blood like Anez Cooper and backups Max Mitchell and Chukwuma Okorafor are stepping in to compete. The unit has talent and grit, but must tighten pass protection to truly elevate—and maybe even win games. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
