Merged Becton Injury Thread

[More Cowbell]

I don't  see how we go into the season with him as the starter. This will be an issue all season.

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

@JiFapono @Spoot-Face

Or one 20lb poop?

@The Crusher

I take 20 lbs of your potpourri fragrance poop. 

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

Even if he’s “good to go” for week 1, how can you trust this guy at all?

I don’t know if 38 y.o. Duane Brown is the answer, but I’m pretty sure Edoga and Maximus 
Mitchell are not…

Hopefully his weight stays under control if he misses a few weeks. 

Between now and the MRI. Becton will already have gained 30 LBS

[GreenReaper]

Ok...what's the immediate next?  

For me...it's signing Duane Brown.  Give him an incentive contract that can increase in value depending on how many starts he has to play.

Saleh saying he has "faith" in backups like McDermott I hope is just stonewalling it until something gets done.  The DL seems to be feasting on these backups...especially a turnstile like McDermott.  

There's a lot of promise to this season.  And the confidence many like me have that Zach can improve significantly.  But a weakness to the OL to start off the season has good potential of getting worse as the season progresses.  It can have serious consequences.  So even if Becton avoided a serious injury...JD shouldn't allow it to get that far before he reacts. 

I know I've said JD would probably have an opportunity to get via waivers or cuts a veteran OT with starting experience.   But there's little chance he'd be anywhere as good as Brown. 

JD should take advantage of this opportunity and get Brown signed.  I'm sure they're not haggling over years on the contract.  It's just about money.

Probably.  I appreciate the honest critique.

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

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. 

ball game..

If that happens?  Becton's new nickname becomes "The Yearling".

Needs to be his practice jersey

Some fat kid in a 3rd world country will be wearing his jersey very soon. 

 

 

[BornJetsFan1983]

damn...was really looking forward to seeing him play this year.

[peebag]

6-11

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

Saleh: "We really do like our [OT] backup situation."

He "likes" Connor McDermott, Edoga, and Max Mitchell?

Come on.

Nobody knows what you’re talking about.

Everyone wishes you could take a little joke and move on, rather than spending the rest of the day delivering dead-flat replies.

That DL did everything but kick some sand in his face

[faba]

This is why I was on the record do not count on him

[Wit]

Ive said this before, but I really feel for this guy. Hes got a severe eating disorder. He either starves down to playing weight or he is binging. His metabolism is probably messed up. Each time he does this hes making it harder for the next time. I hope hes ok and has a long career, but Im not feeling too good about it with his knee.

You dont get MRI's on "stable" knees.

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.

I wonder what amount of muscle takes the pressure off? Guy is thick,

There was never anything to move on from. That’s my point. You could have just laughed… instead, here we are.

Becton the prophet with those "big bust" t-shirts

What an awful pick by Joe Douglas. 

Could have gone for the solid 3-run double into the gap with Wirfs.

Instead tried to swing out of his shoes for a grand slam.

Is the PUP list an option?

No.  Once he practiced, he was no longer eligible for PUP.

[OtherwiseHappyinLife]

I don’t get the continuation of (pretty weak) fat jokes after a guy who might have started to turn the corner got injured in camp.  I mean things started to click.  He showed up to training camp at a better weight and has pushed himself thru the early portion, even starting to settle in and play pretty well.

Hoping he’s ok.  We need him and Brown.

You do if it’s a potentially 100 million dollar knee lol

The video is super concerning. It just buckled. At this point you gotta wonder if it was diagnosed and treated correctly with the initial injury. 

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

man, nobody cranks out Jet news reaction vids as quickly as this guy

Joe Douglas has done a lot of things right of late, but this is on him

"fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me..." and all that

the season is in flames if Edoga or Mitchell or McDermott has to start.  It also becomes very difficult to evaluate everything else on the offense if the QB has no time to throw.
