Duane Brown set to return

[extmenace]

 

[Chewy and the Jets]

Not really sure what happened to him but he showed up totally unable to play football at the NFL level and the Jets seemed quite surprised.  Paying him a lot of money, missed all of camp, and crapped the bed badly in his one game,  Another really bad misread at an area we could not afford.  Between him and Carl Lawson it's been $18 million of valuable cap space down the drain.

I hope they don't put him in at LT (and move Becton to RT). With all of the other changes @ C & G, we don't need any more disruption along the line.

[oatmeal]

This dude and his stone feet need to be cut. How much are we paying him exactly? Last time he played he was embarrassing

[JetPotato]

It's a body. Will take it. Better than nothing.

at 11 million Duane Brown is the 2nd highest cap hit on the team besides CJ Mosely

Zach is at 9.5 by the way, but that's because of his number 2 overall contract

I was surprised about how long it took them to get him off the inactive list and practicing in camp. When camp started they said he was a few days away, and they just kept saying that for weeks, all the way up until they finally had him practicing just before the opener. So, yes, he looked very rusty. But, while I could be wrong, everything I’ve heard about Brown and his attitude towards being a pro football player leads me to believe it wasn’t due to lack of effort or desire on his part. So I don’t think he somehow duped the Jets — I doubt he deceived them about his health or was out of shape, if that’s what you mean in your first sentence. 

[Gangrene]

Duane Brown not the oldest tackle in the league but at 38 it's hardly surprising that he has spent time on IR.

Jason Peters, 41, the oldest tackle in the NFL, just came off IR a week ago and played well in his first game back for Seattle.

A good omen maybe...

He was still recovering from his shoulder surgery in camp and had not been cleared to practice. I thought (I could be wrong) that the reason he has been out the last few weeks was a hip issue.

They need bodies on the OL.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even play unless he absolutely has to.

Yeah, that’s my understanding too — to separate issues. I was just responding to the poster who may have been suggesting (I wasn’t clear) that Brown had misled the Jets or didn’t show up in shape to play football. And while I also was a bit surprised by the long delay in him getting cleared to practice during camp (they kept saying he was almost ready), I don’t think it was because anything fishy was going on between team and player.

[Hex]

As many OL as the Jets can get that don't drive UPS on the side

[Sonny Werblin]

Can he play this week or does he have to practice 21 days before he can play? 

[Larz]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all the see him at LT. I think they said they gave him an extra week to get back?  
 

they didn’t activate him to sit or play RT

If they do put DB at LT and move Becton... again, it says more about their faith in Max Mitch than anything.  

[Jets Voice of Reason]

Hopefully it was health related and not just that he's old and unable to play. But yeah, if we want to win on Monday night, someone's going to get sacrificed and it seems like they like taking out our OL.

[Jet_Engine1]

I LOVE these old ass vet players that can "ONLY PLAY IN ONE SPECIFIC SPOT"... yet they shuffle Becton and AVT around like they're a deck of cards... and put a PS squad Guard they signed 2 days prior in at Center.

 

DB and Tomlinson are incapable of moving their bodies to the right instead of the left? Do they get lost? 

[GangGreened]

Backup. Do not insert him at LT.

They really need to try him at RT. He's played there before, just a long time ago. 

[varjet]

Becton is on borrowed time.  If he does manage to play every game and then get a big contract, I will donate $100 to charity if he ever plays every game in a season again.  

[Jethead]

Dudes a warrior. Played all last year with a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder.

Hope he can help.

Plenty of guys start and then finish their careers on the right side. They don't need to be shuffling Becton around any more. 

[Bobby816]

Sounds a lot like Brown is only getting respect and playing time base don his past. Literally on nothing he's done for us. So Saleh looking bad saying he's what is our best 5. Bc Brown's play says otherwise.

Listening to the presser today it sounded like Saleh felt like he pushed to come back before he was really healthy/ready. So maybe we catch a break and that's why he wasn't playing well. We could use one on the o-line.

Best 5 play is what they said. 

[jbt]

Becton can be the future at LT leave him there.  Brown is gone after this year hopefully

Wasn't implying anything fishy on the part of the player but man it is just seems to be a massive miscalculation by either our medical team, the front office, or both in a critical area of need.  It was always going to be dicey with Brown, Bechton, and AVT coming off of major injuries.  At Brown's age they really should have considered cutting ties and applying his money ($11 million) to someone that was younger or at least less of a health risk.   You can say what's happened to the O Line is bad luck and it certainly is a bit of that but the plan coming into the season was badly flawed and the way its played out is really no surprise, at least to most on this board.

Yes, I agree with all of that. I think missing on signing the Bengals tackle (forget his name) in the offseason hurt a lot, and bad planning not to have a better plan B

I’m hearing he might be playing LT once he’s back in the lineup
