Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur's comments about left tackle Mekhi Becton raised eyebrows: "Mekhi is going through some things right now. He's not playing at his best."
Here's the story: It's not about him being overweight or out of shape. He's just rusty, having missed the entire spring with a foot injury. It's a new system that requires movement for the Jets' offensive linemen, and he's navigating the transition. Becton needs to figure it out quickly because failure to perform could be hazardous to the health of the quarterback.
