2 PUP lists now: Reserve & Active. Active is preseason only. If he lands on the Active PUP list he cannot practice at all and doesn't count against the roster and can be taken off of it at any time. However, the instant he practices he cannot be sent to the reserve PUP list anymore. Reserve PUP list is the traditional 6 regular season weeks automatically. And it can be extended - Jets are in a tough spot because Becton needs to practice. But if he practices he can't go on the PUP list for the regular season, so he'd be taking up a roster spot and not in game shape. I dont know what they are going to do. Probably Active PUP to start training camp and hope for the best
Very well said. I wish him nothing but the best. I still believe there are way too many people out there that rather see him fail and prove themselves right, damned what's best for JD and the team.
I'm confused about why we got that glimpse of a single Becton rep with the elastic. It looked awkward, but then again it was just one rep, and the drill is kind of awkward by nature. It would be so easy to release two minutes of film, and even easier to release nothing. What was the intention of releasing that single uninspiring rep?
Cman, assuming for a second that I understand about PR, let's dive a little deeper. Why give us one awkward rep? Why not one very strong rep? Or ten decent reps? If your answer is, "Maybe there are no strong reps to show," then my question back to you is, What then is the most sensible thing to do from a PR perspective? Give one clumsy rep or give nothing?
For a guy who's running around in a childish T-shirt angry at the twitterverse, showing one useless video is still more football activity than what we've seen out of FatBoi in almost a year. His PR people hasn't done the kid any favors by letting him tweet all the stupid shit he has done so far. All of his injury/rehab activities has been handled evidently by amateurs. Lucky for him, he has the Jet PR dept. running cover. Not real sure if that's a good thing or not...
Hey man, I'm not looking to argue but how can you call him childish when you use a nickname of FatBoi to mock him. The only difference I see is that you are in your 50's and he is what I consider still a kid. Just saying.
He certainly is a child in a man's body and his 'tude shows it. Until he proves he belongs on the roster, his path is all uphill and he's gonna have to do it the old fashion way.. earn it. Instead of useless vids, how about he shows up this upcoming TC and show us how much improvement (or none) he's managed to accomplish over the last year. What's more important.. His twitter reputation or his roster spot?? Time for Becton to either shit or get off the pot. Recess is over..
I hear you but there is a part of me that feels for the guy. He's still just a kid. I hope he proves everyone wrong and then just goes about his business.
My worry is that Becton has looked so bad that when they saw that rep, they were like, "He didn't fall down. Post that shit."
Just because it's a PR move doesn't make it an especially good PR move. I couldn't be more over these one-off videos and comments about Becton supposedly working hard. They mean less than 0. If he was really working hard then he wouldn't have shown up to minicamp overweight after having nothing to do but work out and eat right for 6 months. For that to happen after he just missed the entire year due to his weight is unbelievable. It appears it's going to take getting cut to actually light a fire under him, and I'm not confident in that doing the trick either. The guy talks all day long about how he's going to prove everyone wrong and never actually proves anyone wrong other than the people still inexplicably optimistic on him.
You and I both know its the growing out of childhood that's the toughest part of being an adult. I hope the kid makes it too BUT he has to realize how the world outside of Becton works. The Jets won't have infinite patience and the point will come where the FO/CS will start to make Becton live up to his draft status. They won't stand still and wait for the kid to show something. This franchise can't afford to wait. It's the cost of being in the NFL and I hope Becton is willing to pay the price. If not? He's a goner.
I hate to sound like a broken record from last year, but as a graduate of Marijuana University, I feel it necessary to point out that weed is now very legal in NJ, and this guy started turning into a house right about the time it was legalized. Laziness, compulsive overeating. The bud can be evil to some.
I'll bet your physical condition is better than ever now, with all the leaping to conclusions you're doing around Becton. Of course you might be back at that school working on an advanced degree.
I would assume that the post was originally on Instagram as well, which prefers quick sound bite stuff rather than extended pieces. There were two clips at least on the original Twitter thread, not just the one that makes it look like Becton's there on his own, with the guy holding the resistance band.
I am willing to wait for training camp before I jump on the criticize Becton Bandwagon. Let's hope he really does come in with an attitude and in shape.
The guy failed a combine drug test and is en route to eating his way out of the league. It's not exactly a stretch to speculate he might have a weed+overeating issue.
