Christensen

I'm not sure why people are mad at this. Brady Christensen is the most athletic lineman we have. That's a fact. He also played well at LT last year when given the opportunity. That is also a fact. He has also had a full year in the NFL and been able to develop as needed to improve. He should be a starter. And the best combination of 5 OL is the best decision to make. What's the problem exactly?

Rhule admitted late last year he could have handled Christensen at LT better. We have 2 really good LT's with the double potential of having 2 great ones. Give him a break and let's look towards this year with optimism. 

I mean, if we sign Baker it is inevitable to notice the repeated pattern of Teddy, Sam, Baker.  

If he doesn’t play Icky right away….would that not just be more repetition of the same issue?    Why give folks a break when they continue to do things.  Delaying development of rookie OL.    A top 10 pick on a bad teams IMO should play.

Rhules such a dumbass. If BC’s gold then we wasted our first pick. Should have played his ass so we could evaluate him last season.

How was that a wasted pick? Icky was still the best player on the board. AND he can compete for a starting position at LG or LT and instantly make the team better wherever he plays. That's hardly a waste.

The Jets organization is run a lot like message board blowhards would. Works great.

No, they haven't earned it. I could sit here and really lay into you and that is just mean and over the top for a poster that has been sincere even if I don't agree with you often. I think you actually believe that and that is yours to carry. I don't agree with any of that and the film and history don't lie. 

It was time for change and Tepper kept Rhule, the disrespect for the staff shouldn't boil over personally, you are not a 'I am a victim fan' poster, but it will not go away. BC looked like we would be lucky for him to hit quality backup level last year. He was old, weak and not at all impressive but his competition was even less impressive. Ickey looks like a nasty rookie strong in the run and weak in the pass. Rhule is just making the same mistake again if he goes this rout and he should 100% be called on it. 

BC was old and weak?

He is 26 this year and even with 30 reps in his pro day he got pushed around really badly last year. It's all on tape if you have the stomach to watch any of those games again.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
