The Maccagnan/Bowles regime's parting gift: DL Folorunso Fatukasi (a.k.a. Kris Jenkins 2.0.) 

Overview

Foley has seen his playing time go up every since Leo was traded. He's still considered a part time player, but the Jets use him at all over the line. The tape and analytics both agree that this is a player who's raw athletic talent is beginning to transfer into positive play on the field - largely do to terrific body control and raw strength. Although it's too early to tell if he can become an "every down" defender, this 24 year old clearly has the looks of a dominant run stopping DL with some upside as a "play disrupter". The stats haven't done him justice- if you look at the clips above, there have been times where he has literally pushed his assignment back 3-5 yards right into the RB, but wasn't credited with the TFL or stuff, which is why the eye test and the analytics are important in evaluating him.

Man, he is just strong at the point of attack.  I love seeing him swat linemen away like they were flies.  I realize the Giants are not exactly a strong OL unit, but if our front 4 plays like they did on Sunday, we are set for a while.  Now lets get an edge and CB (after OL of course).

still don’t get what this guy is doing on draft day ever. stupid trade downs to collect 6 rounders to just a bunch of camp bodies. We drafted a 5-tech in round 3, we traded down and traded for another 5-tech than draft yet another. WTF is this guy doing. If Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams or Sam Darnold didn’t fall to Mac he would literally have absolutely NOTHING to show for his drafts. 

If Macc, ran a company in China like he did with the Jets, he would be put up against a wall and shot. What he did to the Jets and their fan is nothing more than a crime.
