New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has made both tackle spots on his offensive line an open competition, and one of the players involved in those competitions — Mekhi Becton — doesn’t seem interested in having to fight for his spot.
In a now-deleted Tweet, Becton said on Saturday “I. Am. A. Left. Tackle!!!” indicating that he believes the job should be his.
Saleh’s response to that message, via the New York Daily News: “Go earn the left tackle. Competition.”
“The expectation for him is no different than anybody else,” Saleh added. “It’s redundant, I feel like I say it to you guys all the time, but you wake up and find a way to get better and that’s who you are every single day. That’s the expectation. If it leads to starting, if it leads to a left tackle position, it doesn’t matter. If you go to bed satisfied with the way you approach each day and the way you attack it, odds are, it is going to work out in your favor. If it doesn’t, at least you go to bed knowing you tried your best.”
