He’s got prototypical size for it, from what I’ve read.

Why not? 

Cause he doesn't have the skills to play Tackle, and is an excellent Center. Why convert a well above average Center into a mediocre Tackle?

It worked for Colston.

I didn't say we should. I asked if it's possible. It's just a discussion point.

No

Never gonna play tackle.. maybe some short term guard. But i wouldnt be surprised he is your starting center day 1 and going foward. 

[JetPotato]

We just finally got a center because we need a center and folks want to move him? Maybe Aaron Rodgers could be a slot receiver?

He doesn't have the measurables for slot, he's more of an X.

What "folks" are you talking about? It's just me asking about it - nobody else. Read up.

I thought Integrity28 was a group account for a cult in New Jersey

It's the reason I didn't hate the pick. I was watching the draft with my Giants fan buddy. I admitted they probably got the better pure center(who I wanted). It looks like we drafted more of a center we could move up and down the line. Obviously after last seasons sh*t show we prefer the versatility 

Its nice knowing when everything falls apart you can plug and play at multiple postions

[derp]

I wonder if they’ll be able to build an elite pulling iOL that they build the run game around - Tippmann, AVT, invest in another guard - and then just have two good pass protecting tackles in Warren and Mitchell just keep things clean in the passing game when they’re tossing it around.

Would be a different way of doing the OL but if the tackles are good enough in pass protection it might be a reasonable way to put a group together.

I’d guess the Jets plan may be McGovern at C, this kid at one of the G spots, and AVT is penciled in as starting T, and Becton will have to fight for a starting job because one isn’t going to be handed to him.

TBH if they are even counting up Becton to be the starter they should all be fired.

Anything from Becton is gravy.

My guess is the exact opposite of yours. 

C: Tippmann
RG: AVT      
RT: Becton

I thought i was discussing it??? I explained why i think it is not possible. Were you only soliciting responses from those who agree with you?

[T0mShane]

Rodgers time to throw was 2.67 last year, and that was inflated by a couple of games where he was +3 seconds (both Lions games, interestingly enough). Given that, center is probably a little more important to Rodgers than tackle. Middle pressure is a killer

[Bobby816]

Assuming everyone is healthy....

I have the starting OL as this Week 1.

 

LT: Brown

LG: Tomlinson

C; Tippmann

RG: AVT

RT: Becton

 

I do think the main threat is CMG pushing both Tippmann and actually Laken. Just bc of Laken's contract  he shouldn't just start over CMG. So I think that's more the position battle that should happen in TC.

 

I also think the depth is better than we've had in awhile with CMG, Turner, Mitchell, Warren, Schweitzer. That's a backup at every spot that either has experience or upside.

No, there’s nothing to agree with. I interpreted your response as a dismissive argument. I legit wanted to talk about the possibility - mostly a morbid curiosity thing driven by them drafting and position swapping a lot on D. Anyway, my bad if wrong interpretation of your reply.

[Jack Straw]

Good lord -- there's exactly a zero percent chance the Jets will play Tippmann at tackle.

[hmhertz]

Jeremiah called him the second best offensive lineman in the draft.

He has short arms, although a half  inch bigger than Skoronski.

Tipp was the fastest OL in the draft 1.65 ten, also most agile.

Center is his best fit, but if we get decent center play from McGovern

or Jones, short term why not?

Rodgers is older, so I get the desire to protect him. But the Packers have drafted 2 first round OL since he’s been there, and one of them pretty much immediately broke his leg and didn’t play at all.

They’ve definitely invested in center/iOL too. Two highest drafted players on their OL a tall guy drafted as a center in the second round who plays all over their OL but is probably primarily a guard and the center they drafted in the second round a year later.

Those Lions games concern me.  The Lions D sucked and he had trouble against them both early and late.

Does the NFL allow arm enlargement surgery?

Done!

[SackExchangeNYJ]

I wouldn't do this, and I'm not sure I understand it. He is tall, but his arm length isn't ideal for OT. Isn't that what pushed Pete to the inside? He excels at C. Keep him on the inside, preferably at C.

Why. We have 20 tackles.

Why ask why.

[FootballLove]

Tippman will see at least a few snaps at both tackle spots this coming TC. Not because he's some great tackle in waiting, but because Saleh loves players that are cross trained and can play several positions. Think back to last season with AVT moving all over the place...heck, even McGovern played RT for a spell.

And don't forget, Tippman spent 2 years playing LT at a high level. I also read somewhere that Tippman chose Wisconsin b/c they wanted to train him in all 5 oline positions.

[Larz]

Damn that boy is big !   He’s still not a tackle tho. 
 

 

[sourceworx]

No way would I move him. Having a center that can pull is huge. We haven't had one since Kevin Mawae.

[hmhertz]

Joe Fields was better than KM at it

99.5% of Tippman's college snaps were at C.  99.5% 

Draft guide said he "practiced" at G and T now and then.

From now on it’ll be Jet’s fans say…

It boggles my mind some times. A poster can ask a question or make a joke and it suddenly becomes JETS FANS SAY

[k-met57]

I never understand drafting a guy because he is elite at a position….and then moving him to another position he’s never played at a high level.

[greenwave81]

Tippman will be playing C.  McGovern is the backup OC/OG.  Hell, McGovern is a better OG than OC

[Obrien2Toon]

I have no clue

But what I think, if they just wanted a center they would’ve drafted Schmidtz 

I think for this year Tippman is playing guard, and maybe in the future moves back to center
