Just goes to show you how clueless our beat reporters are. Literally have 0 inside knowledge of what’s going on 

[RutgersJetFan]

Is anyone else terrified about this? Like this is way too high of a note for the Jets to start on and all I keep thinking is that the Jets are setting me up for an even harder kick in the balls.

Never forget Cimini and Connor Hughes insisting Becton would be traded or released all summer

I have been terrified the entire off-season. We’re all battered women.

Only when they say things you don’t like though, amirite?
I’ll bet when they agree with how you feel, you think they’re the best thing ever. 😉

Lol our beat writers have embarrassed themselves many of times over the years. Manish, Costello, Cimini and now even Hughes all stink. Rosenblatt has been good however

[jetsons]

This is Hopefully just the beginning for Becton.

Be fair, there wasn’t much good news for them to report that would have made you like them, was there?

[Joe W. Namath]

Mechki had a fantastic summer.  Worked hard and really put the effort in.

He earned the right tackle spot.  Toss sweep to breece going right w/ becton, avt and eventually Tippy pulling…………good grief!!!!!

[FactsOnly]

Lol Joe Douglas is such a ******* Chad

[Rangers9]

I think you're right if you concentrate on Bechton because the potential just is so high. He's someone who if healthy could just keep getting better. And he's in good shape give him credit for it because he had a huge weight problem that stood in his way from the onset. I'm not positive about him staying on the field but if he does it's huge. 

[BurnleyJet]

I wonder how much is this down to having Rogers on the team? - Would it have happened if Zach was QB1..

We don’t need him growing anymore. That was the original problem

[maury77]

If Becton can stay healthy and both Tomlinson & Brown play like they did 2 years ago (that is a lot of "ifs"), the Jets might have a top 10 OL.

Remember when we passed on future all pro Tristan Wirfs because we had to have an LT?

The Jets would have saved money picking up Mekhi's 5th year option. But ironically them not picking it up might have been the final motivating factor that Mekhi needed.

Not ironic. Smart. This is a guy who is motivated externally. Keep the bag within view but just out of reach.

I think Becton will still be our LT by next season. I can't  see the Jets extending Brown. Next year Becton will be LT and Max Mitchell hopefully gets his head out of his ass and becomes a starter.

Rodgers on Becton. Seems to suggest the change has come about in the last month, which is interesting. Also, Rodgers being the team psychiatrist is another plot twist I did not see coming. 
 

 

The cascading effect of a little player leadership can have on a club is amazing.

You should write Hallmark cards. And I say that with affection.

He was supposed to be aloof, cliqueish, hostile to young players and churlish with the media, but it’s been the diametrical opposite here. Maybe it was just a consequence of Green Bay being a one-horse town where the Packers org controls the narrative, or maybe Rodgers is just consciously on his best behavior, but it’s been wild to watch

Good thing at the end of the day it's only a sport and means literally nothing in the grand scheme of things.

from him going on the mcafee show to walking into 1JD and talking about our lonely SB trophy to being with the team and involved in meetings and bonding to last nights nearly flawless performance.  IDK what else you can ask from the guy and I am not sure who else could do that.  The guy is better than I could have hoped for.

Could be one of the feelgood stories of the year. It’s been a long way back.

Becton’s definitely moving the line when he’s in there. Him and AVT could be a deadly duo

MNF against the Bills will be Becton's first regular season game in front of a crowd at home.  2020, his rookie season was with no crowds.  2021 he got hurt on the road in week 1.  Missed last year.

He has never played in front of a regular season crowd at Met Life.

Seriously? Man he’s in for a treat. Skipped the garbage to come back to an absolute zoo. Good for him

As far as I'm concerned, he just won the comeback player of the preseason.  If he plays the way he is playing during the season, he will have my vote as comeback player of the NFL for the 2023 season.

People are different, and to me, I believe in treating people differently depending on their personality and needs.  As a manager of people for 23 years, I have always said that it's okay to treat people differently, just as long as you treat them all fairly.   

This will be a lightening rod of a statement, but I believe that Rodgers could be an NFL head coach if he wanted to one day.  He would never go in that direction in my opinion, but I could see it.
