Both new guards are playing well, we have a next man up inside in bates.  Edwards as an extra blocker and depth piece.  A backup T who has played in the league before quite a bit.  And a couple young depth pieces in anderson and Van Demark who show a lot more potential than Bobby Hart and Van Roten.

Not many posts make me literally LOL, but this one did.

I think that Torrance in the second was perhaps Beanes best pick besides Josh.

[JerseyBills]

AWESOME.. Any word on run block?

 

Jax sitting at 21. Worse graded OL we'll face other than the Jests

 

Edit - meant that we've played already

I was shocked to see Van Rotten play so well for the Raiders. We didn’t hear much of the DL that day, but Jimmy G also seems like he’s willing to throw an INT than take a sack.

Interesting.  Tied for 1st according to PFF, 2nd according to SIS (whatever that is) and tied for 8th according to ESPN.

[Special K]

Dawkins, who was a question mark coming into the season, has really upped his game to a new level, and O'Cyrus Torrence, who obviously should have been a first round pick, thankfully fell to us in the second round.

 

These two things have made all the difference in increasing the O-line's performance, IMO.

I just remember him as an absolute liability when i saw him play.

Yeah, dawkins has a bit of a frumpy body shape.  But he did come into this year looking more... functionally heavy than just heavy.  Arms look bigger, looks quicker.

Bengals, Giants, Patriots are all worse than the Jets according to this.

I know. Just opponents we've faced so far

[BlazinBill]

This is to me the biggest difference in what the offense is able to accomplish - actually both lines are setting the tone this year- the guard position upgrades just completely solidified the entire o-line. It's early October so I won't get to ahead of myself but so far I have enjoyed watching us push around and manipulate to attack the strongest defenders and just neutralize them.

Yup - Sometimes teams just overthink it.  Torrence was the consensus best IOL in the Draft, yet dropped because he lacks positional flexibility.

You know, I’ve always been a fan of PFF.

I think he has multiple Pro-Bowl and a few All-Pro potential.

It would have been a coup to take Dawand Jones in the 3rd.  Missed out on that one.

[GunnerBill]

They have played really well. Even week 1 against the Jets the problem was definitively NOT the offensive line. Dion is playing his best football in 2 or 3 years, the two guards are significant upgrades on the turnstile and career backup they replaced, Mitch Morse is who he is, and Spencer Brown is more like rookie Spencer Brown where he has some pass pro wobbles but is dominating in the run game than the complete mess he was in 2022.
