ESPN was reporting a month ago that he was supposed to sign with the Colts but that was the last that was mentioned for him.

So...injuries?

I don't think so, he's been pretty healthy his entire career. Only missed something like three games.

I want to see Mitchell next to AVT, I don't think you can fairly judge him playing next to Colon Blow.

"Stuff allowed by Mitchell?"  WTF, he could have continued moving his man if Colon wasn't in his way, moving in the wrong direction.

Not sure if this was supposed to go all the way outside, but that's a pretty good looking hole if he follows Colon.

Oof.  Yeah, that's a tough one.

Just posted about this, but that isn't on Mitchell.  That's a bad read by the back. 
He shook my hand breed tub and walked away

That's also not a "stuff" because the back gains yards.

I'm starting to wonder if the best OL configuration is AVT at tackle and Schweitzer at guard.

Another reason I was surprised Schweitzer didn't play.  Sure, give all the center reps to Tippmann, but we don't even want to check WS at guard?  He's that entrenched in the starting center battle?

It'll be interesting to see how things shake out this week.

If Tippman doesn't win the center job, we need to let him compete at both guard and tackle. 

He's our key reserve if someone goes down.

Since both Schweitzer and McGovern were held out of the game I have to believe that Tippmann is pretty far behind in the position battle.

First two seem like fine Mitchell plays. But that last rep is a real bad one. Got nothing but air
Need a new one for a new board...

This may be true, but I don't look at his preseason usage that way. They may just want to get a rookie acclimated to the NFL.

The Jets' solution to the OL seems to be to throw a bunch of guys at it and hope that a competition will produce a good enough offensive line. It could absolutely work, and there's an interesting mix of veterans and young guys.

Ideally, Becton (or Warren) shows enough where they can be the starter at OT and we have insurance in case they go down. Or maybe they start the year with the veteran and then either Becton or Warren can take over midseason.

i don't see any logical way how a guy like tippmann isn't in our top 5 OL configuration

if mcgovern wins the job, fine, great. play tippmann at guard. play AVT at tackle. protect aaron at all costs like we're fvcking attack on titan

Probably. There was very little drop off last year when he flipped outside
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

I like the idea of McGovern the Vet at C calling the plays with Rodgers here. Tippman at OG, get him out in space a bit

Our entire offense disappeared when he went down.
