Ben Grubbs Should Be Here....

The Pete Kendall tirade and subsequent trade to the always-stupid Washington Redskins has taken its toll of the NY Jets. Now, you have a Division II guard at that spot who only blocked for an option offense at little-known Nicholls State.

Jacob Bender started the Jets/Giants game as the starting left guard next to improving LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson. And you could see the whole line collapse. Pennington and Clemens were sacked a few times and pressured into hurried throws most other times. The Jets O-line looked like it was trying to hold back Hurricane Katrina.

This means that the Jets could possibly have a difficult September. New England, Baltimore, Miami and Buffalo - three teams are in the AFC East and Baltimore is a premier AFC squad. Right from the get-go if the Jets don't go 2-2, AT LEAST, they will be in a hole early in the season.

I know, I know, September doesn't make an NFL champion, but in the very good and crowded AFC, the Jets can't afford to lose ground out of the gate. So the O line better get it together and Chad better start throwing a little harder. I've seen Rodney Harrison already dispensing hits worthy of Jacked Up! and that doesn't bode well for Gang Green receivers that will have time to drink an ice tea and take a shit while they wait for Chad's 22-yard floater pass. Plus, New England has something of a pass rush, so if the J-E-T-S can't run the ball behind that O-line, then Gang Green is D-E-A-D.
