Jets Best Kept Secret?

[gmf1369]

[h=2]James Carpenter, OG[/h] KEY STAT: Had three perfect games of pass protection in 2016, all coming against AFC East opposition (Buffalo twice, New England)

What Pro Football Focus said: Carpenter was a first-round draft bust for the Seattle Seahawks, but when he moved to a more favorable blocking scheme with the Jets, he has quietly become a very solid player over the past two seasons. In 2015 his run-blocking was vastly improved, but in 2016 his pass protection took a step to meet it, and he surrendered only 24 total pressures over his season. If he can maintain this improvement he will have executed quite the turnaround, but he did have a midseason slump during the season, grading poorly in six straight games.

He's a good player and a solid veteran. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to say Alan Faneca good, but still good and the best lineman the team has.........

Allen Faneca was the best in the NFL when we signed him, so no carpenter is not that good. Carpenter has certainly earned his pay with the jets.
