Thread by @MattOLearyNY

I was curious about the #Jets offensive line issues/injuries over the years.

I looked back at the last 14 seasons and found how many offensive linemen played significant snaps each year, and who started the most at each position vs. who the expected starters were

Summary:

8+ lineman used: 8 times (2016-2023)

Fully Healthy Seasons from each starter: 1 (2012)

Fully Healthy Seasons from 3+ starters: 6 of 14 season

- offensive line injuries/shuffling a major issue so far through the Joe Douglas era

- Jets haven't had consistency on the line since 2015, the last time they had a winning season, which I don't think is a coincidence
