New York Jets fans howl over their inept offensive linemen. But truth be told, this unit is middle-of-the-pack — just look at the nightmare scenario of their MetLife Stadium co-tenants, unable to execute the simplest of blocking schemes.
Many decisions must be made. One of their top lineman, guard James Carpenter, faces free agency after his worst season at age 30. If not him, Buffalo’s Ryan Groy or Jacksonville’s Patrick Omameh would pair nicely with the solid Brian Winters. The Jets also must develop young tackles behind stellar free agent signing Kelvin Beachum and so-so former fifth-rounder Brandon Shell.
