Wild how that stuff works 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: I always had Wirfs graded as the best OT in that class. That he went 4th of the top 4 guys was always mad to me. Granted he has played exclusively at right tackle the "easier" side so far, but he is already a first team all pro and if you look at Tampa's line when he went down in the playoffs you definitely saw how valuable he is to them. This one still stings for me too, I placed a bet on draft night that Wirfs would be the first OL taken, couldn't believe he was the 4th off the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saleh's head coaching job is in the the hands of one player: Zach Wilson. If Wilson continues to play like he did as a rookie, Saleh is toast either this season or next. If Wilson plays like the #2 overall pick should, the Jets will win games & Saleh will remain as HC of NYJ. That's how it usually is in the NFL, the longest tenured coaches usually have a franchise QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't rehab properly but also he had problems with his weight in college and unfortunately he has had those problems in the league too. He came into the league in shape because he had got in shape for the combine and workouts etc. Unfortunately as soon as he was away from football he was unable to control the weight. It's a shame because he was good as a rookie and he has a lot of talent. He was the "swing for the fences" option in that left tackle group. The Jets swung, looked like they had won, and then struck out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it usually is in the NFL, the longest tenured coaches usually have a franchise QB. They need Zach to step up, definitely. But of all the rookie QBs last year the one who flashed the most to me was Wilson. There was a lot of bad there but he had some moments where his talent really did show. Davis Mills and Mac Jones had the best years but the feeling with both is they are already close to their ceiling. Zach flashed more than Lawrence, Fields and Lance in terms of making some of those real elite throws. I am not saying he is the next Josh to be absolutely clear, but his rookie season had a bit of rookie Josh about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 To me - this is a very scary moment in Jets history. It actually reminds me a lot of Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz in Boston and I hate Baseball, but everyone was saying those guys were done and they were trying to unload the contracts and no one wanted to take the players even cheaply. Then bang they figured it out and suddenly the team got good again around them. I am hoping and praying someone goes and takes Becton out of NY for pennies on the dollar because there is enough talent that if he puts it together could make them tough and combine that with a lot of youth and to me the Jets can be a scary team. I want talent to start coming off that team because there is talent there and I do not want any teams really challenging the Bills for the division for the next 15 years like the Pats had. Give them all Rebuild after Rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them all Rebuild after Rebuild. The Jets definitely have the potential to be a really good team in the next couple of years. They have a couple of young guys on the OL with a lot of potential, mixed in with a couple of decent vets. They have Lawson, who looked like an up-and-coming star before the achilles injury, coming back. They drafted Jermaine Johnson, who has the potential to be a good/great pass rusher. They still have Quinnen Williams. Sauce has the potential to be a lock-down CB. Their LB group is meh, but if Mosley can stay healthy that will help a lot. They have a couple of young, potential stud RB's in Breece Hall and Michael Carter. They have a solid receiving group in Moore, Davis, and the recently drafted Garrett Wilson. They picked up CJ Uzomah, have Tyler Conklin, and added Jeremy Ruckert to the TE group. Everything still, just as with any other team, will hinge on the play of their QB. If the game slows down for Wilson, if he's improved reading defenses, and makes the right decisions with the football? They could be pushing for that 2nd spot in the AFCE this year, and a potential Playoff berth. Everything has to come together for Zach Wilson on the field though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bold predicted them for 2nd in the division this year and I think that while they are definitely the most "boom or bust" team in the division when I look at it roster by roster and say "who has the potential to emerge as something of a rival to the Bills" the Jets have the best collection of young talent among the other three teams. Of course it comes down to what happens with Zach but his ceiling is higher than Tua and Mac for me. I still worry a bit about their ability to protect him given the Becton situation. AVT and Tomlinson should be a solid guard combo but I have never been a George Fant guy. Think he'd be somewhere near the bottom if you ranked all 32 starting left tackles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If he is done for the year I think it would be safe to assume he is done as a Jet because they need to decide of the 5th year option after this season. No way they pick it up if he hasn't played in two years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I hate the Jets, but have pulled for Becton because he's a central VA kid having gone to Highland Springs High School. Becton has all the talent and athleticism in the world, especially for a guy his size. But that's the problem, he is a guy his size playing a position that puts a lot of stress on the lower body. If he wants his football career to continue then he should probably get himself down to between 320-330lbs.

The knee is not going to buckle being lifted off the ground after a hit, it gets buckled when the foot is stuck and turns but the knee is isolated.

So this is hearsay but apparently one of the reasons they moved him to RT was to keep pressure off that knee...ie Jets medical staff were aware the knee could be a continuing issue.
