Tippmann’s first pro start at right guard anchored the line, enabling solid runs and showing resilience amid roster moves. The coach credited him with embodying the team’s physical identity and noted how his development supports continued growth in the run game and pass protection.

Tippmann, an ascending blocker at center, was part of a summer competition with Myers. With Vera-Tucker out, the Jets could move Tippmann to right guard and slot Myers at center, leveraging Tippmann’s potential while protecting the interior.

Joe Tippmann’s versatility could anchor RG if Vera-Tucker is out longer. His ability to adapt to guard duties and work with Myers at center will determine interior stability, with direct implications for Jets’ run game and protection schemes.

Tippmann is a hydro-boost option to guard, with Meyers sliding to center. His shift tests the Jets’ interior timing and may influence early-season run and pass protection, especially in Week 1 vs. Pittsburgh.

Tippmann could move to RG with Vera-Tucker out; rookie center Myers would assume center duties, creating interior shuffles. Tippmann's athletic profile makes this plausible, potentially preserving power runs and reach blocks while Newman handles RG if needed.
