mitochondria Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I did not have a chance to watch the game yesterday but based on the post-game threads it seems like Becton was one of the few bright spots...Could the board please elaborate in more detail?

Popular Post Ghost Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 Becton is our best player and it’s not even close. He’s the least of our worries. Jets need to decide whether to fire Gase by week 6-8 OR fire him at the end of the season. Ultimately, the most important player right now is Sam Darnold. Whether he’s the answer or not, that’s a whole other topic. But has he regressed under Gase? The fact he looked better under Bowles should determine whether Gase gets canned or not. JD needs to bring his own guy in. 10 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beerfish Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 For a rookie in a position where you can look bad he was nothing short of great yesterday. Not just physical ability wise but he really looked like he knew what he was doing. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JTJet Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 There was a moment in the game where Sam looked at Mekhi and patted him on the back, it was almost like you could see the relief in Sam's eyes that he was there. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with how this organization does things, The Johnsons probably have a big press conference, play Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance music.. and have Brian Schottenheimer walk out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdels62 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He gets inside of the 3-tech. Reaches him from the outside, resets his stance on the inside and opens the hole. Insanity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJetsFan Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 So I just had a chance to watch the first half for a bit and I noticed something crazy that is happening with Becton. On at least 3 plays in the first half where the run was designed to go away from him (to the right side) and Becton's man was head up or shading inside of him, when he blocked that man he drives him down the line (and back a bit) to the point where that defender actually ends up in on the tackle (or at least the pile). He's blocking a defender on the left side of our formation down to the right side and into the play. Crazy. Truly the definition of overkill and mistaken consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is trying to get inside his man and establish hands on his shoulder pads to wash him out. He can't get there fast enough and instead of releasing and moving onto the backer.. he is holding his contain and trying to take him out of the play even if it means crossing the gap being used. Its normal but not ideal. You can't expect a man that large to not try and block down. Its much better than the alternative of the tackle who is too fat and slow and just stands around and does nothing. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vader Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Becton owned Bosa in pass pro. He’s already playing at All Pro level and the offense should simplify and revolve around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying not to get overly excited by Becton's prospects at this point but, at a minimum, it's comforting to think the Jets have at least found a solid LT for years to come. That's what we needed first. Just be good, don't be a bust, don't be a liability. However, he's looking to be so much more than just good. We're seeing this kind of play in Week 2 of his rookie year on a bad team. There's no ceiling for this guy. Regardless of the train wreck that this season is becoming, if Becton looks like a stud and Quinnen can have 5 or 6 games like he did on Sunday, there will be some tangible positives that emerge by year's end. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the train wreck that this season is becoming, if Becton looks like a stud and Quinnen can have 5 or 6 games like he did on Sunday, there will be some tangible positives that emerge by year's end. There was a play where bosa swatted Bectons hands and got leverage going inside, looking to dart through the gap on a line to darnold. Becton looked cooked. Except Bosa never even sniffed Sam. Becton immediately swiveled perpendicular to the LOS and drove Bosa into the mass of bodies before he could break through. It was incredible. Becton is so big and powerful but he is just as agile and quick. He is literally a 370 lb Muhammad Ali. SF the next series began dropping Bosa in coverage. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullblast Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Quote PICK NO. 11: OT MEKHI BECTON, NEW YORK JETS 2020 overall grade: 79.7 Despite coming out of his debut with an injury, Mekhi Becton played against the 49ers in Week 2 and had another impressive debut. His life was made significantly easier when the 49ers lost Nick Bosa to a torn ACL just 11 snaps into the game, but Becton blocked what was in front of him and surrendered only two hurries across 37 pass-blocking snaps. He has now allowed just four total pressures across his first two games en route to strong run-blocking grades, making him arguably the most impressive rookie offensive lineman so far this season. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-grading-32-first-round-picks-week-2-2020-nfl-season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 He looked good in pass protection and mauled in the run game, multiple pancakes. It's early but he looks like he's on his way to being a perennial Pro Bowler. Probably the best player and most valuable asset on the team, two games in, IMO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
