Brandon Shell has reached last Jets opportunity with new regime

Looking back at 2018: Shell started 14 games at right tackle for the Jets before suffering a season-ending left knee injury.

Shell was OK in 2018. He did not do enough to make you think the Jets have to commit to him long-term, but he also played well enough to make you think the Jets could live with him at right tackle for another year.china nfl jerseys cheap

Pro Football Focus rated him as the 56th best tackle out of the 80 graded. He allowed 1 ½ sacks for the season and did pretty well in some tough pass-blocking assignments.authentic nfl jerseys china

Shell did not get much of a push in the run game and the entire Jets rushing offense was stagnant.

He ended the season with six penalties, tied for the third-most on the team. He was called for holding three times, false starts twice and unnecessary roughness once.

Outlook for 2019: Shell has been practicing fully this spring and has not shown any signs of problems from his December knee surgery.authentic nfl jerseys cheap china

This is a big year for Shell, whose rookie contract expires after this season. It is his chance to prove to new coach Adam Gase and new general manager Joe Douglas that he is worth securing as part of the Jets’ future.nfl jerseys nike

For Shell to do that, he will have to improve upon his play from last year. Everyone along the offensive line should benefit from having Le’Veon Bell in the backfield. Shell must show he can open up some lanes for Bell and protect Sam Darnold if he wants to stick with the Jets.nfl nike jersey

Douglas likely will overhaul the offensive line going into 2020 with four of the five spots as question marks right now. This could be it for Shell with the Jets.authentic nfl jersey cheap
