That's the goal. To do it they must be physically dominant and Nasty. I think they have a shot.

I like the optimism, but can we let them play at least one game in the NFL together before we start thinking about those kinds of comparisons.

Don’t get me wrong, I see the potential too. But only after both Becton and Vera-Tucker are lining up next to each other in the Pro bowl would I start to think about all time greatness.

NO.

They should be better now.  If not those two Raiders, I want at least Walter Jones/ Steve Hutchinson quality.

Let's see them play a game together before putting them at greatest left side of line comparison category.

Can Aloe-Vera slide to LT when Becton misses time?

I agree... but that should be the goal... besides Winning Multiple SB Trophies. ?

He played LT this year & LG last year, so I don't see why not.

No wheeling for me, jago.  When that happens, I want @GATA cradling me in a comfy allergen-free blanket and carrying my decrepit bones to the Jets' SB parade.

No denying that it's the best left side in the NFL

The video was a thing of beauty.

Old guy veteran of the Raider/Jet wars that  I am, I  saw more than I cared to of the two named gentleman, I made the comparison here a couple of weeks ago, and in a later post said that Becton/AVT are actually something that other DCs have to scheme against (first thing requiring scheming  since Brandon Marshall in 2015).

Let's all hope it works out that way

[jetscrazey]

Well I’m fired up
