Discomfort in his knee sounds like another likely lost season. We'll see how it pans out but it's not like Becton has a rep for sticking things like that out.
My 2 cents. Seems to me all the eyes are on Becton but the D is getting around the left side to Zach just as much if not more. So if people here are assessing Becton as having yet another shit day, well so is Fant in spades. Either our D will be lights out this season and the best we will face all year, or the O +Zach will need some on the fly adjustments as training camp progresses.
Not to be a Debbie downer but this is really not good given how long it's been since the injury and how heavy Becton is. It's just too much weight to have on anyone's knees.
Im not worried about Becton because Lawson is abusing everyone. I'm worried about Becton because JFM and a rookie are teeing off on him as well. I'll write it off as rust. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Becton is an offensive lineman, his knee is always, always going to hurt. I want him to learn to play through it and it sounds like he is.
I want to see how both lines do against the Eagles next week in joint practices. I understand there will be a learning curve for the OL with 2 new starters, AVT and Becton learning new positions and Becton learning the offense but I am hoping they can hold their own and the OL will not be near as bad the 1st 5 games as they were last year. We should have a good idea after the joint practices with the Eagles how competitive this team will be.Do they look they do not belong and are getting blown off the ball like joint practices last year or are they holding their own?
