Merged Becton Injury Thread

There's a big difference between negativity and the need to hope for the worst of a situation because that somehow makes you feel vindicated. Been a Jets fan since late '60s. I certainly don't need to be reminded of how futile the Jets have been, especially over the past 10 years. I just prefer to take a more positive approach to this year's team. Hopefully, Becton is not out for any length of time. We'll see.  Regardless, I'm a huge Duane Brown fan - sign him. We need depth.

I'm not sure I believe that "Jet fans hope for the worst" is really a thing.  If anything, maybe some Jet fans feel beaten down and they deal with it by always expecting the worst (and maybe laugh at it as a way of dealing with the situation).  But that doesn't mean that they're rooting for the worst.

Fast forward to June 2023, Coach Saleh at press conference: "We're hopefully he'll be good to go by training camp"

[JetNation]

One of the Jets biggest training camp nightmares came true at Florham Park today.  Starting tackle Mekhi Becton fell to the turf and clutched his surgically repaired knee before limping off the field.

Becton had been fussing with his knee earlier during OL drills. Didn’t seem right, limping through light drills. Put on a brace last Friday. Now he’s in the locker room. https://t.co/dctQ20y5js

Head coach Robert Saleh said after practice that the knee was “stable” and he’d hoped it wouldn’t be serious as the team awaits an MRI.

Jets fans are of course hoping to avoid a repeat of last season when Becton missed the entire season after it was reported he would miss 4-6 weeks.

With the injury to Becton, the Jets are sure to ramp up their efforts to add veteran offensive tackle Duane Brown.  The Jets hosted Brown during their Green and White scrimmage a couple of days ago.  Jets brass at all levels reportedly met with Brown during the practice, from GM Joe Douglas, Saleh, and Rex Hogan along with owner Woody Johnson.  If the Jets hadn’t offered Brown what he wanted a few days ago, they might have to now.

You can be in excellent shape and still have discomfort, T0m.

I mean, I’m ready to turn the page in this guy completely, but there’s enough to criticize without leaping into logical fallacy. 

I meant it in terms of going from “rolled up on” to “actually, it’s discomfort.” Exasperation by me in the moment. I have a sh*tty knee and I totally sympathize with overuse discomfort

Told ya.  I hate to be right.  But this kid is done.  JD should have dumped him onto some other suckers.

[The Crusher]

Damn it. I was hoping he would be back practicing before I finished this thread.

Yep. Which would mean another month of Becton wars on here. 

Getting tired of thinking about Becton. 

And weight gain again. Flat circle

You may be right, I have my doubts. Regardless, I am optimistic about the team this year. I'll focus on all the positives - it's been quite a while since we've seen a Jets team with some real talent on it. Becton makes this team better, I'll hope for a good prognosis and expect our GM to have a fallback plan just in case. LOL, look 3 posts prior to this one, kinda makes my point.

Just like when the announcers say that it's good news that an injured player "walked off under his own power".   Only for us to hear the next day that he's out for the year.   Face it:  Becton is a Big Bust.

No Kool Aid, just not jumping to conclusions and acting like a complete ass, which is the case with too many folks around here. Enjoy your day.

When you hate enough players on the teams, balanced fans look like kool aid drinkers.

The haters are having their moment. Too much PVO has been eating at them.

Better than getting dragged like Jon Feliciano at Giants practice today.  Looks like the guy is dead.

I keep hoping you are going to be wrong on this one, but he is making it awfully hard to present a good argument to the contrary.

That rolled up on thing might have been some FAKE NEWS. Check out the video in this thread. 

You ok ?

[FTL Jet Fan]

It’s not about hating Becton he is the most unreliable player on the team at one of the most important positions. He is a walking train wreck. Nothing but a huge distraction and detriment to the O-line.

Lith, we all want the kid to be successful.  But it's becoming a clown act.

Becton I’d too big for this run scheme he would be better in Baltimore with an inside out blocking scheme.

[Barry McCockinner]

After seeing the video it seems his feelings might hurt more than his knee. JFM dropped him like a 1980's Tyson opponent.

Should do a count down of time on the field between injuries. Save the graphic designed the trouble of making the weeks column.

Jets fans at least keep me laughing.  The Jets themselves have been nothing but a big ball of failure for nearly all of the last 50 years.  I'll take Jets fans over the Jets every single time.  

Lol but the self hate is one of the best qualities

This is right.  Maybe he can settle in and eventually get that knee fixed and get into proper shape necessary to maintain a 17 game schedule.  But for now the Jets need to move on - I'm not even suggesting cutting the kid - keep him here - keep working with him -

But as you stated, right now he's just not reliable at a position where reliability is far too important.  That OL working in unison in this offense is vital.

[Irish Jet]

Anyone relying on this guy is a fool. Genuinely negligent that we’ve hadn’t signed someone else months ago. Get Brown in tonight. 

All the signs for Becton are horrible.

[Larz]

Getting an MRI.  Should probably wait to see the results

How much time is he going to miss ?

[doitny]

this does suck. but i have no regrets about not drafting one early. i would not trade Sause, Wilson, JJ or Hall for any OL that was available at those slots because OL are a dime a dozen. you can always find a good replacement.

and guess what we have one already here. what perfect timing that Brown is here. sign him up.

I won't even be mad if the Jets troll the sheet out of everyone and announce a 4-6 week recovery.

Has anybody ever made more money standing around Jets camp for 72 hours then Duane Brown watching McDermott and now Becton get hurt?
