Is Highway 77 Back?

I hope he succeeds, but I fully expect him to be injured again.
His play has never been an issue. When healthy he is fully deserving of the first round pick that was used on him. Unfortunately as Tebow said above, his history has us almost waiting for him to be injured again. I hope with everything I have that this is wrong but he needs to stay on the field.
He absolutely deserves to get his career back on track. Looking at the shape he is in right now no one can deny how hard he has worked to get back to the start of his career

I'd still like to see Becton lighter...but he's not pushing 400 and wearing spanx to cover it up.
I'm not sure what the average OL man weighs but I thought Becton was down to 350?
Having checked that in stones and pounds that is still 25 stone, blimey.
It's hardly surprising that things go pop at the speeds these guys are hitting at that weight.
I'd be ecstatic if he were 350. The average LT is about 320-330. I don't know about the rest of the line.
I looked on Google and it says he is 165kg about 360 but he did look 'thin' in those photo's lol
His weight is probably something that can't be googled. Reported eight and weight on players are not very reliable.
probably
IF Becton can stay healthy, and is willing to play multiple positions He will be an asset to this team. LT will be there, if He earns it. Let's face it, the guy they are counting on isn't exactly a sure thing. A healthy confident Becton is a guy you keep. Not a whiny entitled kid. Hopefully this young man is realizing the difference.
If Becton plays like he did against Tampa and stays healthy, he will be a LT. It's just a question of when.
It's not about getting it, it more about durability he always showed promise on the field but also take into count the former OC did not know what he was doing outside the backup quarterbacks he had to rely on for success.
Another reason to hate Lafleur...the former QBs. It was clear after week 1 that Flacco can no longer play in the NFL. Yet somehow he made it out of camp and to the end of the season. Yes personnel decisions are Saleh's domain. But Saleh doesn't change any personnel on offense with out the OC on board with the decision. Oh yeah and Streveler throws underhand.
LaFleur just ran his system. He didn't care if he had the right personnel, he just ran what he knew. This is why he refused to use certain players and misused others! They couldn't run his system so he didn't want them. Forget the thought of actually running a system that fits the talent you have.
Understood. But Strev and Flacco didn't belong in any system.
Rumor has it that Mekhi starts at RT against the Giants! Was there any doubt that he would ever be a starter??? Not for me it wasn’t. The only question was could he stay healthy and as long that is the case, this was a no brainer. Mekhi is a beast!
