I am for one so fucking tired belittling a young man because he got injured, not because he is injury prone but because the rookie who was next team rolled up a defender at the back of his knees

he is trying to make his way back and instead of supporting him, the fans of the team he plays for are against him what a shame...

I am very hopeful that he gets back on the field all I have seen so far is more missed games than games played.

Thats all I can go by. I live in Texas. When I find out that he has had multiple dietitians that is a red flag. His dad is one Pop Tart from his heart exploding. At the end of the day, he has to prove that he can get stay in shape and be healthy. I hope he succeeds, but we have to be prepared to draft his replacement or extending Fant.
I am going to ask some people why he got rid of the first dietitian before we can call it a red flag...
But the constant stating like people know what is going on behind the vail is un-nerving...
Sorry to jump down your throat...

And the supposed adults in the room, the beat writers feed the narrative. I’m hoping Becton and #11 prove many folks wrong this year.

the last injury you can not blame him, that was one of those freak incidents but on the positive note that was when AVT started to improve...

talked to my friend who knows Mims is really putting in the work, so far they believe he has a full grasp of the playbook now it is just putting in the off field exercises and executing on the field...

Nah, I can handle it. I don't know what's going on behind the scene so I can speak to what I have seen so far from him. I have seen a player not available for most of his short career. Players that are hurt when they are younger don't usually becoome healthier as they age. Especially incredibly large players.

That’s all you can ask for, let’s hope it translates on the field. Thanks for the info.

Thats true, but availability is important.
he is 6'8" people at the beginning of his career believed he should be 360 lbs
well this regime believes he should be between 340 - 350 which his able to carry that weight
in translation this size compared to a 6'3" guy would be 310 - 320

this is an important year for Zach Wilson ending the season on a high note
need your franchise left tackle, your dominate interior left guard to take the pressure off his backside so he can make plays
still uncertain about Connor McGovern's play ability but he showed some improvement as the season went on.
it is what the team does on the right side, but having a veteran just in case puts no pressure on Becton but his own to get back to form and compete...

Omg he looks absolutely beastly heading into only his 3rd year he looks freaking incredible!

PS: And I promise you that NONE OF US would (ever) call him "fat and lazy" to his 22 year old face without fearing for our lives (I know I wouldn't want those problems).

🤑
I never said he was fat and lazy. I thought that maybe he could move to RT if he has trouble maintaining his weight but that's about it.

My opinion is if you get fat then you are lazy either with your diet or exercise. If you can't workout from injury you still have complete control of your weight especially when its your job that you get paid millions of dollars to do. IMO, you can still do something unless you had a stroke or are paralyzed. I coach kids that have completely shredded their knees and while going through the rehab process I always preach to them that their calorie expenditure has plummeted now that they can't do much so they need to be mindful of what they put in their mouth more than ever. While I have put most of the blame on Becton in my posts, I truly blame the Jets medical staff and conditioning group if he did in fact put on weight.

me too, on #11.

for whatever reason, our coaches will not find a package for him until he knows all of the positions of our WR playbook.
i can't criticize their rationale, but i am a bit puzzled as to why we can't find a way to get him hot early in games....

when the Knicks were playing and they got Patrick the ball down low early in games, I knew we were going to have a good night. Gotta feed some beasts for them to feel the game.

last off season, #77 worked really hard for last season.
we brought in Carl Lawson, and Carl whipped him every day in practice.
the more that happened, the more reporters made an issue of his weight...of course that is the only reason he got whipped...STUPID!!!

"What is your weight, what do the coaches want you to play at, do you think you're ready for the season, do you think you could have done more?"

they just needed to STFU. the only thing it did was made a person who suffers from some sort of depression feel isolated.
IMO, if Carl whipped Fant & Moses all camp long, and #77 beat up Zuniga and Huff, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Because he didn't come to TC in bad condition.

I think the weight rumors started with his plantar fasciitis in the off season. Weight is a big contributor to that. I know someone will say skinny people get it too, but weight is usually the issue.

Well….. he doesn’t look grossly overweight, but I would hardly consider that video as a “breaking your ass workout” The last clip looked like practice for pushing a shopping cart in the supermarket…. If he comes into camp at sub 350…. Ill happily recant any negative things I said about him
