[QUOTE=k.Rhodes25;4472724]RT, we really need Wayne Hunter to play like he did in 2010. He has shown signs of being a quality OT. He shutdown some great pass rushers before, he won't be in as many 1 on 1 situations like he was with Schotty. The Dolphins used more max protections than we did. Maybe things will work out, maybe Vlad Ducasse steps up in his first full offseason with the team and can take the RT spot? Or maybe Wayne steps up and gets it done. There are teams that start awful linemen, I think that as long as the rest of the OL steps up we will be fine. Because last season it wasn't just Wayne that sucked, Brick had a down year and Moore had a down year. I expect Brick to bounce back to top form, I hope that Moore can give us another good season in his contract year, hes not coming off of a injury this year so he should be stronger.[/QUOTE]

the jets didn't address the RT position this offseason for 3 main reasons: 1) the only true upgrades would have cost a fortune in FA, 2) they didn't want to draft one in the first round and any other RT they drafted wouldn't be nfl ready this year, and 3) they don't know who the qb will be beyond this season. if they keep sanchez, they won't spend as much money on RT as if they dump him and go with tebow as the starter. i know it's not what people want to hear but that's how i see it. i think there's a realistic chance that if sanchez doesn't improve and tebow does (as a passer), they would go with tebow as the qb and then get a better RT than if sanchez were the starter.
