Savage69 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Should i be alarmed, concerned and afraid? Don't walk 3 steps in front of him or he may fall on you!! He's a good Blocking TE..That's about it..He tried to catch a cold but couldn't.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Great blocker, smart guy, hands of stone, no yards after his rare catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Becht: 1)Thinks he should be getting 60 catches a year 2) Will drop two passes a game that kill drives 3) Is an over-rated blocker on the run 4) When he catches it, falls down immediately 5) Whines 6) Sucks 7) Will make Big Ben start ignoring him by Week 6 StillerPaul, I kid you not. He is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscott Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 no yards after the catch what so ever. good blocker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 He has the least amount of Yac yards for a TE in NFL history. He has hands of stone and he loses focus and doesn't watch the ball in,ever. The guy has the size to be the real deal,he lacks the heart and the will to be it. Plus he is a giant mangina,who gets taken down easier than tx at the rodeo by 5'8 DB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well the good news is he is still young enough to change his way. But for now I have to agree with these assesments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrodyMan Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 It'd be interested to see how effective he could become as a back-up TE, but as a starting TE, a team would have to have been lobotomized if they were take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenBeans Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 If he was 30-40 lbs heavier he might be a decent RT < trying to be positive > ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillerPaul Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well, runblocking is a big plus for our system i suppose. I highly doubt we'd feature him in the passing game, as we haven't done that with a TE since Eric Green. You guys make it sound like he has character issues, and knowing the Steelers as i do, i wonder why they would think of signing a guy like that. Maybe they are enamored with his runblocking.

Warfish Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Becht is a quality blocker, don't let any bitter Jets fans tell you differently. Ask Curtis and Lamont how they liked Bechts blocking and you'll get a much more accurate story about that subject. But, he does indeed have two major weaknesses....hands of stone (drops balls/kills drives) and a raggady-andy body (inabillity to break tackles). This obviously limits his abillity as an offensive weapon. But in his defense, I do belive that becht has had a different TE coach in each of his seasons with the Jets. And as we all know, a lack of continuity, especially when beng coached and/or instructed, can indeed be a seveer detriment to a player. Do it "this way" one year and "that way" the next and so on and so on.... If you get Becht, hope for two things: -That he retains his very solid blockig abillity. -And that you have a quality (and more importantly STABLE) TE Coach position, so Becht can perhaps work through his issues with a single philosophy and a single coach. If he can be had cheaply, he is a good pickup for you, but he is definitly done here in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Makes an easy pass look hard and the hard ones easy. Can be tackled by an ant hill. Good for an increase of at least 1-2 beers a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget that the guy is 6'5" 275 lbs and should absolutely DOMINATE the LOS. As it is, he's a good technician/seal blocker. Any 240 lber can do what Becht does in terms of blocking.
