Jets’ ongoing center competition breeding camaraderie in Joe Tippmann and Josh Myers
NY Post
One way or another, the Jets are going to start a center who vacations in a niche spot in northern Michigan where hunting and snowmobiling are the popular pastimes.
Preseason practice ended Wednesday without a winner of the position battle between incumbent Joe Tippmann and free-agent addition Josh Myers — two Big Ten products who learned this summer that they have more than snapping in common.
“It’s still playing out,” head coach Aaron Glenn said, tersely confirming only that the Jets will “play a center” rather than line up with four offensive linemen.
The biggest starting lineup decision of training camp has only been complicated by left guard John Simpson’s recent absence at practice, which put Tippmann (at guard) and Myers on the field together.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
