Alijah Vera-Tucker: Gordtackle

[Libero_2]

Back-to-back season ending injuries in Denver.  Unreal

He’s obviously never allowed to enter the state of Colorado again.

This sucks so much for AVT. I hate watching guys who bust their derriere, and are the quintessential team guy have these issues. He’s exactly the guy you want to root for. He’s exactly the guy we want around for decades. He’s the next Nick Mangold in that sense.

But it has to be said now, with back to back catastrophic injuries, he can’t be relied on to stay on the field. We need to go heavy on the OL in the offseason.

Mitchell will start at RT this weekend against Philly.

It'll be nice if Mitchell works out and we can move AVT back inside. I loved him at tackle but the more pieces we have already on the roster for next season the better.

RT Alijah Vera-Tucker injured his Achilles while pass blocking Jonathon Cooper with 1:48 left in the 2nd Q. The tape shows him motioning to the sideline after the play; he knew he was hurt. He actually stayed in for another play with a torn Achilles. He got beat easily by Cooper and that was the end of his day and season. #Jets

AVT played an NFL snap on a torn Achilles. That is just absurd. Love that guy

Just preemptively get everyone on the team that Achilles reinforcement surgery Rodgers had, right now.  All will be ready for week 1 next year.

Why are our offensive linemen made of glass?

-Becton: back to back knee injuries
-AVT: back to back season ending injuries
-Mitchell: blood clot issue
-Brown: goes to IR immediately after being signed, and again 2 weeks into the next season
-Cameron Clark: career ending neck injuries
-Carter Warren IR in rookie training camp


I’m very afraid for Mitchell right now

Paying the Devils price for Brick and Mangold. Like Namath did.

GM Joe Douglas says OL Alijah Vera-Tucker is in a "great place" in his rehab process and that his permanent position hasn't been decided as of yet.

To be fair… telegraphing your plans is something almost no one does,

And add in the fact we haven’t signed anyone yet, it makes sense. I want AVT at guard, I think they want AVT at guard. But we need 2 starting tackles and there might be 1 legit starting tackle in FA in Tyron Smith. We could sign an AVT like player in Owenu or Eleumanor but one of them will be out of position at tackle.

Can’t lock in AVT officially until we bring in other guys

It's frustrating that we may be picking his position based on team need and not his best fit.  Hopefully he's just as good at either and we can finally freaking leave him at one position.

That is what every Jets fan wants.

Some people are good at non-responses. Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh are not these people.

Joe Douglas never talks to anyone, so he doesn't get the practice.

There’s a small tidbit in his itw with SNY where he says they’re looking to fill three spots. This makes me think they already see Tippman as a lock at center.
