Question about Mekhi Becton

[gmf1369]

from inside source Jets loving they have two tackles they can start the season with

Mekhi Becton & AVT

who plays where is debatable

Tipps is pushing McGovern for the starting role

Maxx is struggling but not betting against him to be that third option at tackle

if Maxx can improve over the next couple weeks then we have a full group of starters

If Becton is at all gimpy - I think the team will cut its losses - so over the next couple weeks - it certainly would appear he better exhibit his youthfulness and recognized ability - and not only play well but also practice regularly.

And, if Brown returns ready to go and Becton mouths off(about not starting and/or playing RT), I think he’ll be history. The team/Douglas has shown limited tolerance for malcontents or locker room disrupters - and Becton has pushed them to the their limit

Thanks for the info, now let's just pray that Mekhi can stay healthy. If he can, it changes the OL outlook considerably. It would be nice to have three foundational pieces in MB, AVT and Tippman. Guys like Mitchell and Warren would be nice complimentary pieces.

My question is "Is Becton healthy?". It's unclear if it is confidence and working through normal pains of getting a knee acclimated to the movements of football after reconstruction. Or is he still not healthy?

He saying certain surfaces are bothering him, and he pulled himself quickly from the HOF game. So is this dude actually healthy or is he still recovering and not yet ready?

 

[ProfessorJet]

Becton is a guy who left a game his rookie year for "the sniffles". Later said he was winded. What?!

Hope I'm wrong. But I think he doesn't make it past pre-season without tapping out because of another injury. Some players can't stay on the field. I think Stacks is one of them.

 

[gmf1369]

Mekhi is in the best shape of his life, period.

He is the same player we drafted when it comes to talent just fifty pounds lighter.

 

[hatnlvr]

Talent has never been a question with him. I'm just hoping he is fully healed and not trying to push through on a reconstructed knee that needs more time.

The turf at the HOF game was supposedly terrible, Bechton came out because of precaution, I believe. There’s a clip of him blocking and his left foot just slips out from under him on a block.
He has looked better in camp, from reports, he’s still having some difficulty with speed rushers. They said he was beat badly by a spin move, well if it was McDonald, i’m reading he’s tearing it up in camp.
Still a full month before opening night, lots of practice and preseason to go. Mehki stays healthy and gets his full confidence back in that knee, Jets oline will look a lot better.

They showed it on Get Up, it was McDonald who cooked him on the spin move. It's practice, I'm sure it happens to everyone, but with cameras everywhere it is going to get magnified

So this is essentially what I was saying before LOL

Need to fix that OL more than getting a RB, but another weapon would be nice.

 

[gmf1369]

Bechton came out

was on a pitch count.

there is no reason to risk a player coming off IR to push it too much.

do not read too much into things, because this week he has been one of maybe the best options on the O line.

Becton (LT) B. Turner (RT) with Max Mitchel (Swing)
Laken (LG) AVT (RG) with Connor McGovern (Swing)
Tipps (OC) with Wes/McGovern backup

This is our best option on the OL but right now no reason to push Becton, stroll him back slowly.
Come mid season Duane Brown comes back then we have another option.

 

[ProfessorJet]

It's over.

 

[TonyFtLaud]

Good to see Becton last for 27 snaps vs Panthers. Good sign.

Almost 1/4 of the way needed to be a starting tackle.

but with a reconstructed knee?

anyway, after this article, he better perform or he'll be gone.

New York Jets OT Mekhi Becton Blames Coaching Staff for Knee Injury: ‘No One Cared’

Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton says decisions by New York's coaching staff put him in a position to get injured last summer.

In his defense, he wanted to play more. Saleh said Becton asked to go back out in the second half, but he saw enough and decided it was best to pull him.

Becton played well. Articles this morning are saying he has earned a chance to get some reps with the ones. Let’s see how practice goes this week.

Let me help you with that. Becton played, well.

JD better be bringing in tackles after cuts. If he counts on Becton to make it through a single game without injury or without saying the grass is too green, then Rodgers is going to get killed.
