While much of the conversation surrounding the New York Jets in the wake of their week 3 preseason loss to the Giants has centered around who the team’s starting quarterback will be in Detroit on September 10th, another story line that isn’t getting nearly enough attention is how well the Jets interior offensive line held up against Big Blue’s defensive front, led by former Jet Damon Harrison.
As anyone who tuned in was able to see, most of the pressure Darnold faced came from defenders who were lined up against Jets back up right tackle Brent Qvale, (who was forced in to action at left tackle), against one of the team’s tight ends or as an extra rusher with no blocker to impede them.
