Jets acquire G Kelechi Osemele

[BlindsideD'Brick]

Osemele:

”I’m in the best shape of my life. Watch the film. I’m going to dominate like I always do. Only injuries can hold me back”.

I believe.

He will be great for the left side of the line.

Initially I wasn't feeling this trade but the more I watch videos on this guy and here him speak on how re-energized he is, I'm coming around to it. He's 29 which isn't old at all but for football that is around the age you are started to get looked at as being or getting old. Especially for positions like Oline, Dline men and RBs where they take the most hits. There have been many players that have played great well beyond their 30's at all positions on the field. So if Osemele can do what he says he wants to in losing some weight and rededicating himself, he can help this team greatly. He has already proven himself to be an All-pro player. Hopefully he can get back to that.

Did Spencer Long make two pro bowls, and was named All Pro one year?

I wasn’t aware of that.

I get it though. Complimenting Maccagnan is near impossible for some fans.

You react to his 2 Pro-Bowls in a way that he is the best of the best. Revis had numerous Pro-Bowls. Why not sign him. Osemele had a not so great year last year and you still expect him to be a Pro-Bolwer. I don't see it. He is not a 330lb road grader anymore. He is down to 307. Macc also has been investing in OL from the Vikings. They had a below average OL. I hope Wisneuski (Spelling) can play Center. Our OL is old and getting older. I can't complement Macc on what he has done for the OL because he has not addressed the OL with infusion of young talented guys. I can't complement Macc for his drafting after Rd #1. Brick, I'm not trying to be an anti Macc. I'm just not sold on the improvement of our OL.

I don’t disagree that the o-line needed to be addressed. Like most people, I’m not sure Harrison is worthy of starting. I hope there’s some other plan of at least bringing in competition for him.

Kelechi missed five games due to injury last season, really the only time in his career he’s missed significant time. He attributed his overall performance to dealing with that injury. This guy didn’t make his pro bowls 5 years ago. He made them in 2016 and 2017. And he was first team All Pro in 2016. I don’t think his play is going to be that far off from those dominating seasons.

But we shall see.

I hope you are right. I'd rather be wrong and see Osemele regain his All-Pro status.

Mac has definitely dropped the ball with the OL, but Osemele is a very good acquisition.
