Defensive line spending lot of time around Zach Wilson. The #Jets look like they’re working some 3rd & long situations. Likely reason Wilson is holding the ball so long, which is leading to extra pressure. Drive-the-field/unscripted not run until end of practice— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
Fight!— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022 Practice fight!— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 5, 2022 It was a bunch of guys with third-team defends & offense. Couldn’t see who started or finished it— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
Play of practice so far: Joe Flacco to Calvin Jackson Jr. deep into the back corner of the end zone for a TD. Nice catch by the rookie. #Jets— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) August 5, 2022 Calvin Jackson with a great diving catch in the back of the end zone on a ball from Flacco. Need the replay if the knee was down or not.— Ethan Greenberg (@EGreenbergJets) August 5, 2022
I am going to toss out an alternate theory that maybe Becton's problem is he trying to do too much and he needs to rest more and learn when not to over do it. He inured his shoulder during the middle of the 2020 season. He kept trying to play through it, aggravating the injury leading him to get pulled form games. The shoulder injury plagued him the rest of the season and the off-season. He finally got medically cleared from the shoulder injury in Spring 2021 and immediately hurt his foot with the plantar fasciitis injury which plagued him all the way to camp. In camp he struggled learning the new offense before getting injured missing most of camp with a concussion. He did not return from the concussion until game one and immediately then got injured again.It has been one continuous set of injuries for him now for almost 2 years. Maybe he needs to learn to back-off and ease into it.His injuries at this point seem chronic and being a man that big he might need to ease into training with a lot more caution. I also will dispute the narrative that Becton has been having a poor camp. He has been mediocre in pass protection but as the new Athletic reporter said yesterday on the Asman podcast Becton has not been bad but he has been dominant in the run game making a few splash plays everyday.
He’s coming around Fant/left side. Becton is on right https://t.co/LZbZVfb2vR— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
Move the ball period opens with Zach Wilson getting sacked and then almost sacked, the second one turning into a completion down the field to Michael Carter. #Jets— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 5, 2022 After a short Carter run & a loss after Wilson ran into his own lineman, he connects with Carter for big first down down left sideline. #Jets— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
Jets doubled Carl Lawson on that play, JFM applied the pressure on Zach.— Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) August 5, 2022
Wilson’s third-down pass for Jeff Smith falls incomplete. Went through his hands. The first-team offense does not score after drive stalls. Was a six-play drive. Highlight the long gain to Carter down left side— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
In unscripted period, Wilson gets one third-down conversion (pass to Carter), but drive stalls when he throws incomplete to Smith on third down. Not a great day for the offense. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 5, 2022
Joe Flacco taking the second-team offense right down the field. They’re deep inside the red zone. He’s bounced back nicely #Jets— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022 Joe Flacco with a long gain to Tarik Black down left sideline— Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) August 5, 2022
Joe Flacco had a rough practice until the end. Completed a deep ball to Tarik Black, got second team offense into the red zone. First team offense went pretty much nowhere. #Jets— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 5, 2022 Jets practice is over. The offense had a bad day. Time to send @Connor_J_Hughes back to Giants.— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 5, 2022
Breakaway TD for Zonovan Knight to end practice. 50+ yards. Great move in the hole to break free. That’s last play for today. Next up: Green & White tomorrow— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022 Practice ends with Zonovan Knight running for a long TD. #Jets— Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) August 5, 2022 Rookie Zonovan Knight busts up the middle and takes it to the house for about 65 yards. Someone blew a run fit. And that ends practice. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 5, 2022
Zonovan Knight has a big run to end practice. Knight is having a good camp.— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) August 5, 2022 Zonovan Knight ends practice with a 65-yard run for a TD. Cut back inside to shake free and took off down the middle untouched. Nice run by the rookie from NC State. #Jets— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) August 5, 2022
Today was not a great day for the #Jets offensive line, or offense as a whole. Defense was very active. Curious to see who wins G&W, considering how much unscripted it will feature— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
Jets defensive line beat the OL often. Wilson was under pressure a lot.Carl Lawson is getting stronger.— Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) August 5, 2022
Saleh said that Becton is dealing with a “discomfort” in his knee, so he’s trying out the knee brace to see how it feels. Said he’s fine. Not hurt. #Jets— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 5, 2022
Robert Saleh said Denzel Mims is “fighting his tail off” in the run game. Said he’s in great shape and that he’s “battling” on special teams. Happy with the way he’s approached camp. #Jets— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 5, 2022
Robert Saleh said getting Jeremy Ruckert in practice is good and he’s got a long way to go after missing OTAs and start of camp. #Jets— Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) August 5, 2022
#Jets HC Robert Saleh commented on OT Mekhi Becton (@BigTicket73) wearing a knee brace at #JetsCamp, ‘the guy is grinding his butt off, the knee is stable, but there’s obviously discomfort that he’s dealing with’ + just trying to get more comfortable: 🎥 @nyjets #TakeFlight pic.twitter.com/ZjiqtNddkn— Paul Andrew Esden Jr (@BoyGreen25) August 5, 2022
