Best case is mcgovern misses a week, Tippy steps in and kills it vs carolina this week and we never look back.

The next kevin mawae is ready to go!

He’s a rookie. Rodgers is more likely to want a veteran in there. Best case is everyone stays healthy and they develop continuity and chemistry

Nothing specific in the last few days.  Connor mentioned the other day he is getting close, but no timeframe for return.  At least none that I have heard. 

But Joe W thinks he will have 20 carries against Buffalo in the opener.

All I can go by is what Saleh said.  Which was, we are going to hold him back early in camp even though we dont need to.

He has 0 restrictions from the drs, he is cutting and hitting 23 mph on the gps.  He is ready to go now, let alone a month from now.

Sauce Gardner ends practice in style, as the fans go wild. Red zone rep, Aaron Rodgers looks for Corey Davis in the end zone, INT by Sauce. #Jets 

Why so special? Sauce was not covering CD. Whether it was zone or man (not too important), Sauce played it by peeling off his area and robbing AR underneath the play. AR never even considered him to be a part of the play. And, when it comes to the average CB, he wouldn’t be a threat. Not Sauce.

I expect them to take a cautious approach.  Make sure he can contribute over the course of 17+ games, even if that means easing him in slowly in the first month of the season.

Break it down for us “air” @FidelioJet

Feet were a little sloppy. But ball thrown on time with perfect accuracy.  
Kid’s learning how to be an NFL QB.

I would not mind that.  Bam has proved he deserves carries and carter can help out on 3rd downs.

But i believe they are being cautious now so they wont have to be cautious in the regular season.

The thing with this is that McGovern—despite all his experience—still gets fooled on stunts way too much. He was the dude who let Milano run free on the hit that ended Mike White. Even if Tippman is still working out some kinks, I might still opt for the upside over McGovern, who is the stock definition of a JAG center.

That was a great delayed blitz.
 

Tippmam looked great in the HOF game, but the mental side with Rodgers is paramount with the hard counts etc. 

it’s possible Tippmamm gets the nod later in the year but I expect AR to more or less pick his Center.

Good news on the banged up guys from today's practice:

Saleh added that he won his 1 on 1s, communicated well.  Handled his assignments.

So, maybe he is not a bust just yet.

The cheifs won the super bowl w/ creed humphrys at C last year.  Tippy is a better prospect then him.

I dont care how much experience mcgovern has, he stinks.  Get the young, hungry super talented kid in there and lets go.  We dont have time to be messing around here!

Tippman is gonna force their hand. He’s stacking good days. Gonna be hard to ignore.

I went back and watched my recording. Definitely true. Tough to watch everyone when watching live but he had a really good game. Not sure why all the negativity on Thursday night.

Nothing personal skippy but I’ll defer to Hack and Rodgers on this one. There is a lot of summer left for him to win the job. Rodgers is a perfectionist and won’t have any patience with a Center that doesn’t have the mental part down. Tippmamm has to prove he has the mental part down first and that is going to take time

Zach has transformed into a franchise qb right before our eyes.  We have a QB1a and QB1b.

a great situation for this team.

Confidence is high, i repeat, confidence is high.

I'm guessing they're going to give Tippmann all the preseason snaps and give him every chance to earn the spot.

Agree but they typically try to get the starters in there for a half at least. That will be very telling obviously who is where.

Zach was a little late on a couple early throws but then got it out in better timing.
 

In college Zach threw with touch.   He’s getting back to that.  Another good sign. (Touch not on these but he’s not gunning everything as fast as he can this year)

Everything about Zach this year looks better - I hope it translates.  We'll need him if Aaron is out for any period of time.

I think this what made Hardman expendable in KC with Mahomes—freaky athlete, but not an instinctive receiver. Both Rodgers and Mahomes need targets who are natural improvisors.

I’ve long thought that Johnson would end up more of a solid all around Bryan Thomas or Calvin Pace eight-ish sack a year with good run defense type than a high end pass rusher and I would love it if he makes me eat some crow on that take.

JJ, Huff, Will McDonald could be serious weapons for this D off the edge.  And, that's not even mentioning Carl Lawson who hopefully takes another step forward from his injury after having a fairly pedestrian season last year.

There's some real juice from the Edge with this team.  If offenses try to double QW then the Jets are likely getting 1-on-1 matchups from both edge spots.

Maybe having a member of the Sack Exchange inducted into the HOF becomes foretelling for this season?

I still might be one of the few people here who thinks Dalvin Cook would be a luxury and not a necessity (assuming Breece is back of course).   Breece, Bam, Carter, Izzy seems like a pretty good 4.

[JohnnyLV]

Think this is the most decisive that I have seen Zach be. He threw several perfect passes in the flat. Of course the only throw that got comments was the one he was slightly late on.

One thing that I absolutely love is that the splits on the offense are no longer the ludicrous "offense in a phone booth" tight splits that our last loser OC did but splits to actually utilize the width of the field.

Man our decision at TE is going to be uber tough. All of them seem to be playing super well even Yeboah.  Rodgers likes 12 so we could see it a ton this year. Maybe Uzomah gets traded? I quite like Conklin Ruckert Yeboag Kuntz as our TE room. Yeboah is already a good special teams guy and Kuntz flashed a bit Saturday.

Random thought maybe a secondary motive for bringing in Cook was just to light a fire under the RB butts. Seems to have worked. Bam seems to maybe have solidified himself as #2 at this point and Izzy might be ahead of Carter. Bawden I think makes the team does he just get the "float" special teams spot and maybe get the nod over Brownlee or did they cut someone like MC1?

I think bringing in Cook is idiotic so you are not alone.

If the TEs become more than just safety valves and an occasional "change it up" part of the offense then this thing could really open up.  I've given very little mindshare to the offense featuring the TEs at all and I'm expecting the offense to run thru the RBs and WRs since that's where the talent really lies.

If Ruckert becomes sneaky good, meaning above average, in the pass game somehow then there's no doubt Rodgers will find a way to exploit defenses with him.

Think about what Rodgers has done with somewhat pedestrian players like Jermichael Finley, Tonyan, Donald Lee, etc. over the years.  Those guys became sneaky good with Rodgers.  None of them were really stud players in their own right.

RB is a strength on this team.  To waste money on a has been like cook would be an all time dumb move by Joe D.
