AFJF Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I know a few folks had him out of the league by now after he threw up on day 1 but it appears he won the starting job for an O-line coach that he was "too soft" to play for. The guy could've handled things better during his time here, but I don't hate the dude and he still has the ability to be dominant if that knee holds up. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradSmith16fan Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Only LT here, goes to Philly to be RG. Maybe put in ol contracts that if you refuse to play a position on the line you get fined, or is that too extreme? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hael Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Imo Becton will be a decent player in this league, and can still be worthy of his high draft position. His first year with us was legitimately impressive, across the board, and it wasn't a fluke, the guy was literally stonewalling elite defenders. However two backbreaking injuries, combined with rather weak mental led him to a bad contract season. I don't think the Jets let him walk b/c of not believing in his ability, but rather b/c they were sick of his bs. A change of scenery, a less physically demanding position for his impaired mobility and I still think he could thrive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BP Posted August 10 Popular Post Share Posted August 10 Part of the problem is the incompetent coaches the Jets have. They move AVT to another position to accommodate a bum who’s no longer here and sucked. They Never give any of their tackles help, whether it’s chipping or TE help. For instance that Dallas game last year lmfao im not defending Becton, but the Jets o line coach should have been fired a long time ago. The Jets coaching staff consistently gets out coached week in and week out. And whenever the team faces adversity they fail miserably and quit. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill never understand the not giving the OTs help and it happens here all the time. We lose a starter, bring in a backup who is obviously not as talented and then dont change a thing. How is that possible? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 And? So becton makes the eagles as a guard. Did that warrant him getting his fifth year option? He was being paid like a tackle. Did the jets make any offers to him? We’ll see what happens. The jets might’ve been playing him out of position. Whose fault is that? Sure becton claimed he was a left tackle but he wouldn’t be the first player to think they’re good at something when they’re not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testaverde9819 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 very happy for becton. so much terrible luck these past few years that go beyond becton. I personally wanted to resign him but I also understand moving on. especially with our young promising tackles. this is our deepest oline in many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 8 minutes ago, bitonti said: the eagles actually have one of the league's best lines and Jeff Stoutland is about 100x better at his job than Keith Carter The Eagles problems last year were mostly the defense, which steadily got worse as the season went on. I'm surprised a little that Becton is winning the RG position. So all the I'm a tackle B.S. was just that. He chose to give the Jets agita over his position yet now he is, happily it seems, a potential starting RG. Maybe he grew up a little after seeing his offers around the NFL? Good for him. I hope he dominates against the Giants. None of this changes the fact that he was an asshat while he was a Jet and he blew off any attempts by the coaching staff to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean Becton crapped out as a LT prospect, couldn’t stay healthy and developed toxic relationship with this Jets admin. I dunno if him latching on as a RG somewhere else really says anything about the Jets one way or another. It certainly wouldn’t have made sense for us to keep him and he’s certainly still a bust.
