Mekhi Becton?

Can a man his size stay healthy?

I missed it.  What happened to him?

He got a yeast infection this time.

Don’t think he got hurt unless I missed something. 

[Integrity28 73,056]

Kris Jenkins vibe. Hope he can shake the nicks and scratches when we start winning games.

[Anthony Jet 2,241]

He def looked winded a couple times I saw him, then again never really paid attention to lineman much until now 

[kdels62 7,115]

He’s 21 years old and bumping hard with guys in the trenches. Give him a year to toughen up.

[Barry McCockinner 14,278]

It's good to see your narrative shift from "he can't pass block" to "can he stay healthy?" I'm chalking it up as a success.

? Toughen up ?

This is the biggest man on the field at any given moment. That isnt something he should be needing to do.

He is 21. He’s probably never been hit so hard he got lifted off his feet until today. He has the right mentality but his body isn’t even all the way matured yet. Give him a year to acclimate.

[ryu79 1,150]

He owned Bosa several times today. Nicely done!

The man is a monster... and you want to "give him a year"...

What is it with our fan base and giving players some time? 

[Samtorobby47 4,089]

I’m hoping after a full off season of rest plus conditioning, he’ll be okay. 
Hes an absolute beast but he can’t keep coming off the field. 

[Icer 2,991]

He checked back into the game so whatever the issue was, it was minor

Wtf are you wasting our time with here?

PFF:

For the Jets, wide receiver Denzel Mims led New York in receiving yards (71) and running back La'Mical Perine left the game early but was able to get into the end zone. Tackle Mekhi Becton did not allow a single pressure on 31 pass-blocking snaps.

[pdxgreen 4,915]

We're fine.  We're all fine here... Now. Thank You.

I ThinK this needs full off-season of NFL strength and conditioning. Kid will be ok.

[Nixhead 1,971]

Maybe the coaches gave him a couple series off. Maybe he was a little tired. No biggie!

As talented as he is...and he does have super potential - but he's missed 1/3 oF the season already and missed time again today.  How can we possibly expect him to play a full season at any point in his career.  Honestly, I hope he does and can but it would be naive to pretend there aren't concerns.

He missed four stinking snaps so they could check out his knee.

Could be he’s just soft serve 🍦

Minus Becton being dominant when he’s played ? Sure, I’m cool with it.

He missed a couple of plays

This needed its own thread?  He was dominant again today.

You've been twisted since your "he'll be a liability on passing plays" went down the crapper 

[Sammybighead 993]

Guys. I know things are bad. Horrific even. But please, try to stay grounded in reality. Becton isn't our problem, not even close. Our last great LT Brick STUNK his rookie year. Becton is miles ahead of him. 

Everyone, please get a grip.

[Defense Wins Championships 2,400]

If he suffered injuries @ Louisville I'd be concerned. But he didn't. 

•As a Freshman he played in all 13 games with 11 starts and 0 "injuries". ✓

• As a Sophomore he played and started in every game. ✓

• And as a Junior he played and started every game (minus their bowl game) before declaring for the NFL draft. ✓

And throughout his 3 year playing career he committed 0 penalties not a single holding, illegal chop block, hands to the face or a single false start absolutely 0 penalties committed; and dominated every single game. 

This injury prone horse crap is exactly that; HORSE CRAP. 

Give him a full offseason and strength and conditioning and preseason to adjust outside of a pandemic ruined off-season and he'll be A+ moving forward (he already is). 

I was a big Jerry Jeudy/CeeDee Lamb homer during the offseason and I wouldn't trade Becton for the world he's been absolutely dominating and today went up against a fierce Chargers outside pass rush and allowed 0 sacks off 0 pressurss and was physically DOMINANT. 

Trevor Lawrence will become THANKFUL for him.

That's the same question I had asked frequently prior to the season starting. It remains to be seen. He's a great player but he's had a few injuries and we need Becton to stay healthy. 

[carlito1171 2,237]

Out of all the things to complain about the Jets you pick this? 😂

[Beerfish 32,508]

Send him to camp Crusher this off season to get into condition.

Fidelio is desperate to be right about every negative thing he pointed out about the Jets before the season started, for some reason.  

One of those was his absurd take that Becton couldn't pass block at Louisville, based on some dumb PFF metric that didn't make any sense in reality.  Since he's been proven dead wrong on that one, he had to attack something else about Becton:  His health.
