It’s not a false narrative. Dude is a fat guy with problems not being a fat guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustiniak Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just now, Mogglez said: Even if that’s the case, sit him because A - Hypothetically, he isn’t healthy. B - He’s hurting the entire offense. C - That injury was his own fault, likely because he couldn’t keep his weight under control. It may not be a weight issue, it just could be his foot just isn’t 100%. Or, maybe his foot is fine but it’s taking him a few weeks to get to where he was at the beginning of last year. Maybe the coaches believe he needs all of TC to get there. While we don’t know yet, it’s not good to hear he keeps getting beaten. I will say it will be interesting to see how/if it changes when tucker gets in there, though a rookie who missed much of TC shouldn’t be the difference.

It hits me square on the feels because the truth is, it was about 25 years ago around this time that I was accepted into the halls of greatness. One could argue, the stink of the Jets draft woes was so thick that it seeped through my skin and permeated on that campus for 4, ok fine 5, whatever f off 6 years, and all those poor players are now my victims and I would never wish that upon anyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Gas, No Gase Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 From the tweets, there seem to be several positives: Bryce Hall did well in coverage, The DL (I just don’t know if the pressure was consistent or just several plays), Zach Wilson handled the constant pressure well especially for a rookie and didn’t make any major mistakes against a very good secondary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Jet Fan Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 15 minutes ago, HawkeyeJet said: I don’t agree with this at all. While AVT coming back is not going to be a cure all, Stuff like this matters in OL play. If the LG spot is leaky, Becton could be cheating ever so slightly to the inside, whether instructed or just mentally himself. It doesn’t excuse anything, but that stuff does matter. OL play, even in pass protection, isn’t simply a bunch of 1 on 1 battles. It’s far more nuanced then that. Becton was beat 5 times - and we gave up 7 sacks. Maybe the LG should be helping the LT more as the leak is not coming from the interior... 5 times on 23 pass attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just have to hope that Becton plays like he did last year once the actual games start. At that point they are able to play physical, move the LOS, and run the ball effectively. That will slow down the rush considerably. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated the pick too. Just thought that body was just too big to hold up and too big to handle speed rushers. Like you, I was happy with what I saw last year and love him in the running game right now...but if he's just too slow or big to handle guys on the outside - just make him the biggest guard in the history of the NFL.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a false narrative. Dude is a fat guy with problems not being a fat guy. It's not just a weight issue. He's so naturally huge, it might take him a millisecond longer to move laterally than others with a more lean frame. A millisecond is all it takes to get beat bu a speed rusher.
