The New York Jets have experienced an offensive revival in recent weeks led by a surging Sam Darnold and a much-improved gameplan from head coach Adam Gase. But quietly, the offensive line has been just as much a part of the team’s success.
Few could have predicted just how poorly the Jets offensive line would fare over the first half of the season. While certainly not a strength of the team in 2018, the offensive line was considered a question mark, but not a major concern heading into 2018.
After all, the Jets ranked around league average in pass protection last season with their biggest flaw coming courtesy of the line’s run blocking.
