ColoradoBills Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Crazy thing is Becton's depth is Chuma Edoga who has ended up on the Jets IR 2 out of his 3 seasons. I see a Beane trade netting a 6th for Bobby Hart coming soon. Jets have no 7th round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was like 20 years ago and said that it never fully heals and will always have issues. Now he didn't go to physical therapy or had top level Doctors/trainers like Becton will but I still think this is one of those bad injuries.

Hopefully that's not the case with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 48 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: 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. Basically it sounds like they threw him out there before he should have been. Can't remember the guy, but about 2 years ago there was a guy getting fined for missing practice. His drs had confirmed an issue (maybe his back?) that was fairly obvious to the drs, and team drs had over ruled it basically saying take a shot and some opiates and get back out there, even though the team/private drs had a solid 3 week discrepancy. I know I'm not totally doing the story justice, but it sounded redic at the time. Wouldn't shock me to see them hurrying someone again. Why wait a few weeks to give a high 1st rider a chance to get long term healthy, when you need to rush him back for a 7-10 season at the expense of his long term health 🙄🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having no control over the draft process a player may know he can't succeed on a team like the Jets, but they have to at least show some ability for other teams to give him a 2nd chance. If he gets released and gets back into shape and has some tryouts for other teams but of his choosing and he chooses wisely a good culture team where he can thrive then his strategy could be the right call. Though that would be less likely than his lack of self control in diet and his fat bank account that can order an endless stream of junk to consume.

Back2Buff Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 5 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: Dude, if his knee buckled as he got hit, he’s not going to have any strength on it. 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. I'm not understanding how you are saying he obtained a fracture before getting hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not understanding how you think his knee cap fractured when he was hit up top. Unless of course, I missed the part where something hard like a helmet hit his knee cap directly. More than likely with a fractured knee cap in his case, it was the stress of the weight of his body and the knee cap couldn't handle it. He dislocated it last year so it already had a pre-existing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I know he's banked some money, but it's hard not to feel bad for this guy. I'd think with his ongoing weight struggles, he's never going to see the field again. And then, again, with those weight struggles, which are likely only to get much worse with another year spent off of his feet, he's looking at a very tough road/life ahead of him from a physical standpoint.

eball Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Seems as though we can answer this question "yes, in all likelihood" now and waste no further time on it. Tough luck for the kid. Was definitely highly touted coming out. Sometimes the body doesn't cooperate. Glad he made some money; if he's smart that will help him move to the next chapter of his life.

DrDawkinstein Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I would normally be all over this, laughing at the Jets' expense. However, we are just starting preseason and I do not want to bring any bad juju to the Bills so I will simply say "that sucks for Becton and the team".

Doc Brown Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 They'll pry sign Duane Brown now. I do feel generally bad for the guy though and that's unusual for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Becton seems to me that he could be one of those guys who gets cut or becomes a free-agent, winds up getting into a better situation, learns how to be a true pro, and ultimately has a successful career with a different team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
