“Back in my rookie year — I think in maybe 11 or 12 starts — we had 12 different starting lineups,” Tippmann said. “So, to be able to go from that just a few years ago to having this consistent group of O-linemen who are going to do whatever it takes to step in there and take the field each week, it’s something that we definitely don’t take for granted.”<\/p>\n
While the Jets have fallen short of some of their goals this season, Tippmann said his unit has approached each matchup aiming to “perform at a high level no matter what the situation is.” And the unit has delivered on several occasions. The Jets have established a strong rushing attack throughout the season, and the team’s 128.4 average rushing yards per game rank seventh in the league.<\/p>\n
But Tippmann knows his unit will face a challenge as it prepares to face a Jaguars’ defense allowing the fewest average rushing yards per game (82.9).<\/p>\n
“You definitely have to kind of wire into it early in the week,” he said of preparing for the matchup. “It’s on us individually, as O-linemen and tight ends, to be able to lock into our individual matchups.”<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to Week 15 and beyond, Tippmann said the unit’s approach will remain unchanged — continue to produce, regardless of the circumstances.<\/p>\n
“To be able to go out there and play physical, relentless football,” he said. “That’s our goal each week for the rest of the way out. Just to dominate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Back in my rookie year — I think in maybe 11 or 12 starts — we had 12…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[7,226,2313,929,1917,255,88,2321,2097,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-592392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-jets","10":"tag-joe-tippmann","11":"tag-latest-headlines","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-jets","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkjets","17":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115701504038858197","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
