Talk about the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. To build off that I think we need to do whatever we have to do to sign Duane Brown and stick him at LT and swing Fant back to RT. They have been on the same o-line at those same spots together in Seattle, it only makes sense. Brown is a better option for us than Riley Reiff would've been. Mitchell can keep developing and that swing tackle role is important in this offense, that's a good role for him for now. If Fant can't get healthy we might have a problem. I agree. I do think we are slightly overrating Brown, but hes the best option on the market. I would not be opposed with Williams at RT either. Brown really was wildly mediocre last year. Im not sure how he was a pro-bowler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a name worth mentioning - Jason Peters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekill08x Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Well Brown it is and based on the contract...Fant will be back at RT. I would still sign another vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jest, of course, but I can’t shake the illogical feeling the this team is cursed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJets4716 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 He is feeling like a Kris Jenkins. Big massive guy will just keep having knee injuries. Sucks, waste of a career. He had some real talent, he could just clear lanes in the run game. Even if his pass blocking wasn't fully developed yet, his run blocking was pretty nasty.

If he continues to balloon his weight up to 400 pounds and then try to drop in all at once again, he'll never make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are just born with natural talent and that gets them far. But what separates others is the work ethic along with the talent and the desire to be great. He lacks both those qualities.

Not sure after having a knee injury and gaining weight qualifies you for not having heart or work ethic but i see where you are coming from. I mean he did come into camp in shape where the coaches wanted him so he's not not working hard either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4life51 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Was listening to something and the guy said Becton was limping around before the injury and he/coaching staff should have sat him out but he gets so much **** from the media he had to play through it which lead to the fracture. Then I also heard he did not get the recommended surgery on his knee. Could explain why recovery took so long as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrade Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I get the feeling Becton will retire before next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
