Story summary

Jets left tackle Olu Fashanu faced criticism after giving up 2.5 sacks during a 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 2, leading some fans and analysts to question his performance. Despite this, Fashanu remained confident, stating that it's part of being an offensive lineman in the NFL where perfection is the goal but not always achievable against talented defenders. The young player emphasized the importance of remembering his training and focusing on techniques to support quarterback Geno Smith effectively.

Fashanu's performance issues are concerning for a line expected to be one of the team’s strengths, especially after showing promise in Week 1 when the Jets played the Titans. In recent weeks, both run blocking and pass protection have deteriorated. Ahead of the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears, Fashanu is working diligently to improve his technique and mitigate past mistakes to regain his form and confidence on the field.
