New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is a fan of watching silent tape. He sits in a dark room, doesn't have the sound on the film of his team and lets the performance of his players do all the talking. 

What he found in the team's joint practices with the Carolina Panthers last week didn't please him in one area in particular. It's a group the Jets have been trying to fix since he came into the building.

The offensive line.

"It was our first f---ing opportunity to change the stink that’s been in this organization for a very long time on the offensive side of the ball," Saleh said during the latest episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks."

"You can have a Hall of Fame quarterback. You can have two $10 million-plus receivers. You can have a reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year. You can have all kinds of skill in the running back room. None of it f---ing matters until the big boys up front change who the f--- we are."

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

Reports came from the joint practices that said the Jets' offensive line was struggling against different pass rushers for the first time of preseason. The Jets' defensive line is the only group they've seen to start the year, and they're considered one of the best in the game (the Panthers had many troubles all week).

But when Saleh turned the tape on, he started questioning how much effort they were putting in.
