The roster that Jets general manager Joe Douglas helped assemble hasn’t been good enough to win a game this season. But one move that he made certainly looks as if it will help the Jets for years to come.

Rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton has dominated his matchup opponent most games. He’s often seen and shown tossing defensive players aside or knocking them down. It happens so often that you wonder why Adam Gase doesn’t have his running backs run behind Becton more.
