When the Jets made Adam Gase their first head coach with an offensive background since the disaster that was Rich Kotite, nobody envisioned a situation in which Gase would make Kotite look worthy of Ring of Honor consideration, yet here we are. Hired to turn around one of the league’s worst offenses and develop quarterback Sam Darnold, Gase has failed at a level that was previously incomprehensible and it all starts up front.
With an offensive line that allowed 37 sacks in 16 games last season, the expectation was that with the additions of center Ryan Kalil and left guard Kelechi Osemele with Alex Lewis to back him up that things would get better up front.
