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.

We are gonna stick it in their faces when Mims scores 15 TDs this season!

I think I read somewhere that he ate a box of fruit roll ups after he got completely pancaked.

Sooooo

Are the journalists “eating their words” yet

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.  

I can buy this. Likely most negative Jets fans fall in this bucket.

There are the keyboard GMs too. Fans that did their youtube scouting and wanted player X but the Jets drafted player Y. And now they want to be proving right.

How much time is he going to miss ?

Who knows?   As it is, Becton has started 14 games in two years.  My guess?   MRI rules him out for a bunch of time if not the year.

He's got a Meal Ready to Inhale pending?

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. 

Dime a dozen……. Thats laughable. Oline is a VERY difficult position to fill.  We haven’t been able to do it well in near a decade.  Im with your theory. I LOVE our draft.  BUT lets not pretend OLINE is readily available.

He also could practice this week The knee was reported as stable.

Noted.

[mrcoops]

His knee will officially remain stable until Duane Brown signs his contract.

[jackhuntr]

Needs to be his practice jersey

[Warfish]

A massive disappointment.  

Re-injury after loss of a year, facing (potentially, I should stress) another surgery and another lost year?

What a shame.  Kid has such potential, even if he wasn't my first choice that draft.

Whelp, guess it's likely time to move on now.  He got his 2nd chance, and his body just isn't up to the rigors it would seem.  Or he just has the worst luck ever, either way.

Sign whomever is available, and lets move on.  Next man up.  No excuses.

[varjet]

The call was to pick up the T early to protect the QB if there was any doubt about Becton.  Fant is also on his last year, so the T pick could have been justified too.  At CB we had Hall and Reed and could have done without Sauce, although we liked him.  

Taking another T would have looked bad for JD.  He should have admitted the mistake and fixed it.  I said before that losing a ton of weight right before camp was not necessarily healthy or sustainable.  He should been losing weight from November gradually while gradually building flexibility and strength.  Carrying all that weight for the last 10 months was not good for him.

The Jets are stuck with Becton this year and next year.  There will be no 5th year option.

I mean this with all sincerity.  This might actually be a good thing.

No way that knee was holding up through an NFL season - This should force JD's hand to sign Brown (or trade for a T that is capable of completing a season)

If Becton is healthy this year - use him as a swing tackle - limit his reps - have him in on short yardage situations.  

Let him strengthen that knee and maybe he'll be ready to move into a starting role for the playoffs...

[NewGuyJet]

I can't believe Bechton had a setback, possibly minor, in early August.  There's obviously no way he'll be able to play football at any point between September and January.

If this team stays mostly healthy I believe they'll be competing for a playoff spot in Dec.

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

Yea, I’m just breaking your chops. Overuse discomfort though… like 80’s wrist and Bronx’s 3 brain cells?

Experts estimate that for every 1 pound you weigh, your knees feel the force of 3 pounds of pressure when you take a step. —So losing 10 pounds will result in 30 pounds less pressure per knee.

[Bronx]

Great write-up, but unfortunately someone else broke the story on a different thread hence getting most attention.  

I just hate to see all the effort and time go to waste on a well written thread.  

[Bugg]

Is the PUP list an option?

If I was Becton's mom, I will be calling him to say sorry for overfeeding him as a child.

What if you take two 1 lb poops per day? Asking for a friend.

@JiFapono @Spoot-Face

Or one 20lb poop?

MRI says 2-4 weeks then proceeds to miss the year
