If Fant is starting G/RT then Westco/Kraft would be that big TE alongside the RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post flgreen Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2021 IMO, Fant has a very slim chance of moving to RG. Keep in mind who Fant is. He played 4 years of college basketball hoping to play in the NBA. No NBA teams showed any interest. Seattle send him a letter inviting him to try out as a TE. Fant gained 40 pounds, and used his fifth year of eligibility to learn how to play TE. He caught 1 pass for 7 yards. Seattle gave him his try out, and he was a natural as an inline blocking TE. So much so that the Hawks converted him to LT. Over the next two seasons Fant became, not a star, but an effective NFL LT, RT, and Blocking TE. Valuable Guy. Even more valuable for the Jets as all 3 are need positions. Particularly if Becton isn't ready to play. I just don't see the Jets wasting the last year of his contract teaching him how to play RG. There is a learning curve, and the Jets alredy have 4 guys competing for the RG spot. One of them should be at least a "hold the fort guy". In this O, with a rookie QB, the Jets are going to run the ball ALOT. IMO, if Becton is ready to go, Fant will get quite a few snaps as a good blocking TE, and be a very effective swing T in case Becton can't play. Just seems like a much better use of resources then bringing a 5th guy in to compete for RG, who has never played the spot. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm in 1st place, baby. Living in Canada, he is ALL you heard about for awhile about baseball in Toronto. Thing is, Bo Bichette walked in and played lights out over Guerrero. Those two, plus Biggio and Gurriel, the Jays have a pretty solid core for awhile (not to mention signing Springer if he ever plays). But, like every team in baseball, it will come down to how the pitchers develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that about him but makes a ton of sense in hindsight and is a logical back story to him not being worth the contract JD gave him . Also completely agree re moving him to RG. If he's an above average purely blocking TE, than play him there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While nothing is guaranteed, here’s a reason to believe this time will be different with Moses: “He’s the sort of guy that invested in his house to the point where he put 30 yards of artificial turf in his basement. Moses got an infrared sauna and built an entire NFL caliber weight room,” Sam Fortier of the Washington Post on the kind of man Jets fans are getting in Moses. “When COVID was at its’ height last year Morgan had his entire offensive line and other teammates at his place to work out because his place was the closest thing you could get to an NFL strength and training room.” 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's behind a desk, but he looks like he's in good shape. A bit slimmer than I expected. Everyone's talking about moving him to guard. I was expecting a big slob to show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
