I understand 99.9 % of you are having a meltdown over the O Line ..  but why I’m not hearing just as much concern over the defense baffles me . Time of possession in the first half was crucial. 
Yes the offense never moved the ball,, but the defense was not giving us any 3 and outs. 
 

Even with with 80-100 players playing, giving up 27 points was embarrassing.  
 

Glad this was preseason.

I listened to Bill Polian on NFL radio recap what he saw from the joint practice with the Jets.  He said that Young reminds of Manning, will make mistakes as a rookie but will be a top QB for years to come.

What really caught my ear was that He also noted that our offensive line seemed to struggle against stunts that the Jets Defensive Line was rushing with. It’s exactly what I just saw in the preseason game as they couldn’t protect Bryce Young.  It’s concerning to me that they didn’t learn anything from the Wednesday practice.  
 

Yes it’s preseason but you want to see growth, and learning from mistakes. Jets have a top 5 defense but I expected more from the OL today.

This was something that caught my eye early (Jets and stunting DL) and was excited to see how Campen would coach the OL up to handle it going forward. The league is a copycat league, and the Jets showed success early on using stunts to get to Bryce.

It looks like teams are content to use stunts to whack Bryce as he holds on to the ball in the same way they were okay with defenders "risking" roughing the passer penalties against Cam.

Very eager to see how Reich, Caldwell, Brown, McCown, and Campen address that, especially if we see more of it in the next preseason game. I could see teams using stunts to create pressure up the middle so that Bryce is unable to step up like we would scream for the Panthers' defense to do vs. Brees.

Them stunting has nothing to do with Bryce holding onto the ball. He actually got rid of the ball very quickly but offensive line couldn’t give him any time to let routes develop downfield

Because we’re more concerned about keeping Bryce Young healthy and giving him a fair chance to succeed in the NFL.  Defenses  adjust easier than offensive lines

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
