Anyone saying this anywhere other than fans on a Jet board? Losing 100 lbs would be beneficial too but hes not doing it. We have 330 lbs all over the roster, none at 6' 7", thats why he weighs what he weighs, hes a mountain of a man. The idea from some, not saying you, that its because hes lazy is ridiculous. In a perfect world not related to football, sure Becton should lose some weight for the health benefits. He doesnt look to be insanely overweight out on the field though. He looks proportionaly (sp?) fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking proportionate is great and all, but that doesn’t negate the additional weight that his joints, etc have to deal with. In basketball, taller players deal with joint issues all the time, and they don’t even have the added weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammybighead Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 There is a new athletic care & performance department started by Saleh which was supposed to increase the level of individual care and attention towards all players in an effort to reduce overall injuries. I wonder how much of asking Becton to sit out now is coming from the recommendations of that newly formed department… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you weigh, the more stress is put on all your joints. Carrying less weight can do nothing but improve endurance and lessen the stress on his body. If he can shed some pounds, he should do it. Can't hurt. Might help. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that huge is an occupational hazard before it's an occupational hazard. Agreed that he needs to lose a few pounds.

Based on what, how do any of us know that. Hes 6' 7" carries more weight on that frame than a 6' 4" lineman who weighs 330. If he was 6' 4" and weighed 330 he could have the same injury history It football, players get injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head trauma and other stresses during their playing days just ravage the body. Now add a mega-ton of weight into that already dangerous situation? Not a good idea. "Big man" or not, no one should be four bills at his age. He's young so most likely doesn't want to hear it. But now is the time for him to take control of his weight/health. As any doctor will attest, you don't see 400 pound 70 or 80 year-olds. Folks like that are lucky to live into their late 50s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the dopes who have a team limo/town car at their disposal if they are out and inebriated. Yet, decide to drive anyway. Totally agree with you that with all his money, Becton could adopt a Tom Brady regimen today, becoming a healthier person and player who will last a lot longer in the NFL. I would kill to have a personal nutritionist/chef/trainer. On his current trajectory, Becton's longevity as a player does not look too promising. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only have you determined how much he needs to weigh you've also determined that he needs to control his eating and focus on being a pro if he wants to last. Its a problem that can be solved if only he cared. Hes out of shape, doesn't train, etc, etc. All because hes not at the arbitrary weight that you've designated for him. I guess from looking at those other slim, adonis types playing OL across the NFL. As if being 330 or so is the product of training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so fat that... He never missed a single game throughout 3 years @ Louisville (heck, never even committed an offensive penalty). Hes so fat that... During a pandemic ruined off-season he still played and started a full 12 games as a Rookie last year. PS. Robert Saleh on Mekhi Becton... (word for word) "Becton's dealing with a foot and its nothing that needs surgery it's really not that big of a deal but as you guys all know he's a very large human being so we've asked him to stay off of his feet so we keep him inside during practice but he's been in meetings he's been doing workouts he's been doing all that; so he's fine".

David Harris Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I had planter fasciitis for six months before I realized that I hate running and it’s a stupid activity. It totally sucked, like your heel getting slapped with a frat paddle every step. I finally had the podiatrist inject cortisone into the plantar fascia. Long needle pushed all the way into the bone. Fixed it. Worked great. They should just do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cortisone works great ... but used repeatedly it can mask degenerative issues such as nerve damage, death of surrounding cartilage and bone, tendon weakness ... and also ... weight gain.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
