Mekhi Becton?

Becton seems fine, thank goodness.  But he really needs to string some complete games together to end the season on a positive note.  He's had a grab bag of injuries that have caused him to miss time.  None of them individually seem very concerning but again, as Bill Parcells used to say, sometimes a player's best ability is his availability.

So far Becton has only played 53.02% of offensive snaps using most recent available data.  That's 298 snaps.  For comparison - GVR has played 562, McGovern 542, Alex Lewis 484, etc.  Becton's snap count is way too low for a guy without a significant injury.

The guy is literally our best player and a Top 5 tackle in the league already. It’s ridiculous how good he is. 

Yeah, it's nice to finally draft a player so good that posters have to come up with ludicrous things to worry about like him being too big. If we had an undersized LT that was dominating I am sure some would worry about him being to small to withstand the grind of a full season. 

It's like we are programmed to find fault in all our players. Like Becton is too good to be true.

How many snaps did Brick miss for such things?

Brick is far from the norm.  Iron men like him don't exist in the NFL anymore. 

Brick is probably the most underappreciated player in franchise history.  He was not an elite or "special" LT, but never missing a snap for injury in a violent game is incredibly impressive.

That's a great highlight that had no positive effect on the LB making the play.  

 I just tripped across it. Was wondering ifthat was why he hadda take 6 plays off in the middle of the game. 

Who said anything about him being not good? Rare to see the big man get his sh*t pushed in.

Missed this yesterday.  Thanks, Los. 

Some of these guys like Perryman in the NFL are just scary strong.  Clearly, he understands angles of attack and leverage.  Watched that clip like 10 times and it's flat out stunning how he destroys Mt. Becton.   It's not college anymore.
