STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Faces former Jets pass rushers; protected by promising young tackle duo.

Will face former Jets Jermaine Johnson II and John Franklin-Myers in Week 1 against the Titans; protected by young offensive tackles Armand Membou and Olu Fashanu, whom the Jets view as a strong offensive line duo with Membou receiving ample praise after a quality rookie season.
