O-line coach doesn't favor LG rotation

Dave DeGuglielmo made it clear that if it were up to him, there would be no rotation at left guard on the New York Jets' offensive line. It would be Matt Slauson, not Vladimir Ducasse. All the time.

Jets O-line coach not happy with LG rotation

Jets OG/T Vladimir Ducasse Benefiting From A Full Offseason

This spring and summer offers young players a full, normal, no-lockout offseason.

Jets’ Vladimir Ducasse moving back to guard

The Jets took Vladimir Ducasse in the 2nd round in 2010, taking a chance on his size, upside, and versatility.
