And I expect Duane Brown to be solid this year. Fair? No, the book has not been written on Becton, he's missed two seasons to injury, not over yet. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one to sign one more after cutdowns. Lets Goooooo!!! Yeah hopefully becton comes back next year and he plays very well then he has trade value because I still wouldn’t keep the slob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He last appearance was on name only. No doubt an upgrade but sure as hell not a league leader at the position based on play last year. Good to sign him but let's not blow it out of proportion, much needed signing yes, but not great talent. More like use to be great and now much better than what we had.

Wonder about the details of that and if Jets have an out after this year or if Brown will compete for a starting spot in 2023 as well. This is great that it’s a 2 year deal because it will take Becton 2 years to recover from this injury. He’ll then report back in 2024, phat and out of shape and undergo yet another injury…. And we’re back where we started. Becton obviously has seen his last days as a NY Jet. Next draft, JD has to target a LT to replace Becton. He has no choice. Becton is not going to be resigned and both Brown and Fant are older vets that need to mentor younger kids to eventually take over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Becton broke, Brown had all the leverage. He could name his price at that point. And it looks like he did. I suspect the Brown visit was compelled by Becton being fitted for the knee brace. The timing can’t be a coincidence. You don’t put a brace on something unless you have concerns about instability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you're saying, but it isn't a given. He isn't a 30+ year old female dependent on his looks to get by so it isn't a given that he's s.o.l. yet. The main variable is how he takes care of himself on a daily basis, and that he wasn't retired sitting around doing nothing last year. He was still performing at a high level (pro bowl) last year as opposed to sitting on the bench behind the guy they drafted to replace him. I'll be 44 in a few weeks, but I look and feel like I'm in my late 20's (not just my opinion), and unlike my coworkers who are in their late 20's I don't need to go to sleep early on a Friday due to exhaustion from the work week.

Glad you have an opinion. Many of us have a contradictory one as represented below. His knee is shot, and he hasn't proven to be the most motivated to get and stay in shape. You can't cheat rehab like you can a diet or leg days. The amply weighted woman below is bellowing for a reason. I'm not happy about it just honest with myself about it. You can't plan on him being healthy and a contributor going forward if you're the Jets. If he beats the odds than that would be a very happy surprise, and I'm certainly rooting for him.

MichaelScott Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 20 hours ago, Joe W. Namath said: Absolutely not. Becton will be competing for the RT position in camp next year. They key word here is competing. Through the first half dozen practices before being injured for the year again. Get over yourself. Becton is not a part of this team's plan going forward. You can argue that he shouldn't have been expected to be a part of it this year but including him in the plan likely got us Sauce instead of a T, so I'm grateful for the way it turned out. I'm glad the inevitable didn't drag on into the season. The guy is an immature child with no dedication off the field and on the field... Well, there really is only off the field with him. He's done.

Ultimately, a valid concern, but I think it’ll play out like we had an aging vet at OT and next year we acquire his eventual replacement.

But what are the odds Becton goes on from here to have a successful career. Unfortunately, not very good. It’s probable that Becton has to restructure his body to have a real shot at reviving his career. Weight in the 340-355 range. Far more conditioning and reduction of body fat. (Parenthetically, I couldn’t do it) Even then, the odds aren’t great. I wish him well and hope I am wrong. But if asked, I’d be telling JD to plan for a replacement.

Facts Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 23 hours ago, Untouchable said: How? Shaq Lawson was a mediocre edgerusher who never lived up to his draft status. Duane Brown has been one of the better LT’s in the league for over a decade. No he hasn’t. Peyron Manning was still playing the last year that Duane Brown played well (literally). 23 hours ago, Untouchable said: Is he the player he once was? No. But at least we won’t have to sh*t bricks every time Wilson drops back to pass like if Edoga, McDermott or a rookie Max Mitchell were starting. He hasnt been good in 7 years. There is a reason why Houston didn’t want to pay him and Seattle cut him and he was available in AUGUST. He allowed over 30 pressures last year, including 15 pressures in a 5 game stretch.

sirlancemehlot Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 21 hours ago, T0mShane said: It’s interesting that they were courting Brown even while Becton was allegedly healthy. Given that they signed Brown to two years/$22 million, you’d have to think the intention was always to sign him as a starter. It’d be hard to believe they were going to give him $11mm AAV to be a backup, or that they were negotiating for backup money, but then doubled it when Becton went down. I think that's exactly what happened. Brown was old, unsigned and had little buzz, though he played well recently. I think this went from a one-year backup deal to a two-year 22mil deal right after Becton went down. MB. The gift that keeps on giving.

He hasnt been good in 7 years. There is a reason why Houston didn’t want to pay him and Seattle cut him and he was available in AUGUST. He allowed over 30 pressures last year, including 15 pressures in a 5 game stretch. They did not cut Brown; he was a UFA when Seattle was in a salary dump season for players >30 years old. They’re quite clearly tanking for a 2023 QB (or rather, putting the roster in such a place where they won’t have to intentionally tank games; the talent will take care of that). Also put Brown’s ~30 pressures into some context: 20% of his pressures for the year came in one GB game R.Wilson kept holding the ball. Morgan Moses gave up ~50 pressures at right tackle and people are crying like Douglas myopically gave up on 3rd year Joe Thomas. From the guard position, AVT gave up >40 pressures and he was talked up here like he just came off some near-perfect rookie season. Next to Moses, GVR/LDT combined for almost 60 pressures between them The above Jets trio further surrendered 30-40 hurries apiece. Those hurries/sacks from those other positions also helped boost our other two, whose numbers were far better (Fant & McGovern), since sometimes they perhaps weren’t necessarily stellar individually so much as someone else (or 2-3 others) blocked even worse. Like the joke about two people running away from a tiger: one doesn’t have to outrun the tiger to survive; he only has to outrun the other guy. Same principle applies. Fant/McGovern didn’t have to be Ferguson/Mangold in pass protection. They just had to hold their blocks longer than Moses, rookie-AVT, and the scrub-RG duo on any given QB dropback. We’ll see what happens in 2022, but based on 2021, a tackle duo of Brown/Fant is an upgrade over Fant/Moses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
