Pretty sure as of today, right now, Fant to play LT and Becton to play RT. 

Sure lets put our worst T on Sam's blindside. Not happening.

[Butterfield]

Fant and Lewis are starting the season whether we like it or not.  They didn’t spend all that money for them to sit on the bench.  They specifically  targeted these guys.  They are playing.

With the Jets signing Gore last week, while being linked to Warford, Ryan and Peters since then, it doesn’t seem JD is done. 

Hopefully

Fant starting a single game will be a bad thing.

He’s genuinely trash.

No he’s not

[Philc1]

Most likely the TC and preseason will be extremely shortened.  We need a Veteran like Peters who is experienced and can immediately play even if he doesn’t have practice

Isn't it about time you give up this false narrative? The guy gave up 4 sacks in three years and there is a ton of film on this site showing him passblocking on every play for multiple games.  You can even see the All-22 angles. Here is a fact for you.....he rarely gives up a sack yet you keep harping that he can't passblock. Guys that can't passblock don't give up an average of 1.3 sacks per year and then add in the fact he played in arguably the second best conference in all of college football.

Maybe back up your position and show us all of these times when he was beaten for a sack. I'll be waiting.

There are simply countless articles expressing serious concerns about his pass blocking ability.  Not that he can’t get better but he was very average in college.  

This is a PFF chart.  Notice he’s in the 58th percentile.  The question you have to ask yourself is are you prepared to put a guy at LT who 42 out of every 100 LT’s in college were better than him at pass blocking.  I certainly wouldn’t.

I’m not sure why you guys are so upset when I just mention the reality.  I like the kid, have confidence in him becoming our LT of the future but he was always a Risk/reward player that likely needs to lose some weight and has legitimate technique issue, especially in the pass game.

Hope not. Some of the quick post draft stuff i was reading kept mentioning Becton starting at RT, guys like Pauline who do have some ties to people inside the organization were calling stating him as a RT. Who knows who love Peters for a year tho.

That is the one red herring on Becton pre draft imo, the PFF guys def didn’t like him. 
Loved Jones, very meh on Becton. Interesting to watch

No he’s not

I disagree.

I would think Becton moves into RG. Peter's plays RT with Fant at LT. Fant was pretty adamant he was signed to play LT. It wouldn't shock me if he did start at LT this year regardless of a Peters signing or not with Becton at RT

Who cares where Fant wants to play? I don’t think that’s how it works. Play your best players. If he’s one of them, fine.

If you like PFF’s rankings of OL just see where they had Fant.

PFF are quite generally trash but they can normally separate the very bad from the very good if nothing else. Especially with an OL where the situation is relatively basic and in the player’s control.

It’s not just PFF - it’s everywhere.  And if you watch him you’ll see he is not a polished pass blocker and needs a lot of work.

If y’all want to put your heads in the sand and get upset with me for pointing out the truth, so be it.

But everyone shouldn’t be disappointed when he’s getting beat by NFL pass rushers on a regular basis.  I certainly hope I’m wrong but right now I would like to see him start as a back-up or swing tackle and learn the position before we’re counting on him to protect Sam’s blind side.

Warford makes a lot more sense to provide that veteran presence than Peters does. Warford is only 28 and a 3 time pro bowler.

Peters is over the hill or the Eagles would want him back. Its Becton on the left side.

I agree he is old for OT, but he could play Guard at a high level for a couple of years.  He said that he would move to guard if necessary.  LT-Becton, LG-Peters, C-McGovern, RG-Warford(VanRoten), RT-Fant/ Clark.

So you're going by what the guys at PFF say and never watched him in the countless videos that have been posted here. Riddle me this if he's so bad at passblocking. His QB's over the three years he played at Louisville passed for almost 10,000 yards and he only gave up four sacks during that span. How is that even possible?

the problem is when people here start to rely on and believe PFF's complete bullsht use of data to create absurd rankings.  People have been swallowing their bullcrap for years.  I even do when their use of statistical data leads to a prediction/ranking that I like.    But the reality is, PFF is largely fiction.

Just protect Sam. Thats all. If you told this board in February that Warford and Peters would be available as FAs at this stage and affordably we'd all of said jump. 

Really want to see something happen here.

Peters has made over 110 million in his career, I just find it hard to believe he’s playing to get paid at this point. Even if the jets are interested, If money is equal or even similar, I just don’t see why he’d want to go to the jets.

That $110 mil take out 50% in taxes and Agent commissions

 

Then consider the fact that he won’t ever make money like that ever again the rest of his life
