Jets training camp: Can healthy Brian Winters boost major weak area? Offensive line preview

Poorly. Winters' abdomen muscle tear didn't help. Neither did the shoddy play of center Wesley Johnson, who wasn't up to the task of replacing Nick Mangold. All in all, the Jets' interior linemen struggled, as left guard James Carpenter also had a down year. The Jets ranked 19th in the NFL in rushing yards per game. They had the fifth-highest sack percentage allowed. Bad year for the line. It cost position coach Steve Marshall his job, as the Jets replaced him with Rick Dennison, who will double as their running game coordinator.

This line doesn't have a star, but all eyes will be on Winters in 2018.
