Alijah Vera-Tucker knows Jets’ offensive line upgrades come with ‘unpleasant’ caveat
NY Post
The Jets’ offensive line is such a concern that it is impossible not to think about it and worry about it. If — and that is the two-letter word that means so much here — the rebuilt unit stays healthy, it should be able to give Aaron Rodgers the opportunity to show that at 40 years old he still has what it takes.
Keeping this revamped group on the field is worth discussing, but, apparently, not by those who make up that revamped unit.
“It’s definitely not a topic of conversation,’’ Alijah Vera-Tucker said Wednesday.
Yeah. Why talk about something that is so unpleasant and difficult to escape.
“I think the last couple of years have just been very — haven’t been fortunate for us, for sure,’’ Vera-Tucker said. “Kind of things you can’t really control, out of our hands.’’
He should know.

Last spring’s ultimate defeat, coming on top of a quite similar one 24 months earlier, should have proved once and for all that the Rangers’ skill game, impressive at it at may be in spurts, does not overcome their physicality deficiency at the final-four level.
Jon Berti, who started three postseason games at first base for the Yankees when Anthony Rizzo was out with fractured fingers, was non-tendered by the team prior to Friday’s deadline, as was left-hander Tim Mayza.
CALGARY, Alberta — The Rangers needed just 16 seconds to get back into a game they had no business being in over halfway through.
