You can see Sean every Wednesday on NFL Network's NFL Playbook 630 Eastern Time. He joins us now. Sean, welcome. How are you? Hey, Mike. I'm doing well, man. Good having you back. Thank you. My pleasure. My pleasure. Yeah, sure is. All right. Talk to me about the giant offensive line. I tell you, I think this offensive system, number one,

1:02.2

is much more of a professional football offense.

1:04.3

I think they're going to be allowed to be a little more physical.

1:09.3

This offense is night and day compared to what we've seen the last few years. So I think this offense is in line as individuals, it's better.

1:14.4

Nate Soler, obviously, is a pure left tackle.

1:18.6

I really like what he's done so far.

1:20.8

He got long arms.

1:21.8

He does a great job of setting the width of the pocket.

1:24.5

I can't wait to see Will Hernandez.

1:26.5

He's a little wrecking ball.

1:28.4

Yep. And I think he's going to add a big dimension. John Holley-old. Feisty guy, too. Feisty guy. Yeah, he's got a good mindset. You know, he's got a good demeanor. You always want at least one or two. You know, I call him, you know, the dirty guys. but it's not playing dirty.

1:43.5

It's just kind of playing with that mindset.

1:45.0

So, you know, my big question mark is still just on the right side. Patrick O'Mame played left guard in Jackson for the last couple of years, the transition to right car. But Eric Flowers, he looked better against the Jets. I thought he used his hands really well. He did a good job with his punch, so that looked better and improved. The run game is still, he still struggles with that. So, you know, this group is still going to need time. Week one, they're not going to come out of the gates and certainly not against Jacksonville and, you know, run for 20 yards, but I think this group is already better. The one thing that jumps out of you already, and you've seen it in the preseason, much more play-action pass and not just, you know, I mean, this has moved-the-pocket stuff. So Eli's not setting up in the same exact spot. If you throw the ball 35 times, he's not standing in the same spot every time. They're moving them around, much more, you know, bootlegs, naked, you know, draw action, play action stuff, which really helps. Short-yard is they're going to put the tie, they're blocking tight end on the left side and run left, right? I would run behind Will Hernandez and Nate Soler all day long. That's what I figure, right? Right. So you would figure your third and one, they're going left, most of the time, right? Yeah. Okay. I would think so. I mean, I would expect that.

2:53.3

What do you think of the Senate spot? Here's the only kicker with that is because the one thing that Eric Flowers really struggles with in the run game is being on the backside. One of the toughest blocks for any tackle is blocking that three technique on the backside because he knows it. By the second quarter, he knows the calls. You've got to feel for it. So you've got to have a great first step, which he doesn't. So I could see them starting to play. You run right, and then basically you're setting up the cutback with Will Hernandez and Nate Soler doing a great job on the backside. So that's one thing that they could do. All right. Jet offensive
