FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets might go with rotating right tackles in their regular-season opener -- and maybe beyond.Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that both Ben Ijalana (EYE-juh-LAH-nuh) and Brent Qvale (KWAH-lee) could play the position against Cincinnati on Sunday.Until it sorts itself out, yes, Bowles said. Its possible.The two offensive linemen are competing for the spot, which is open because starter Breno Giacomini is out for out least the next six weeks while on the physically unable to perform list with a back injury.Giacomini missed all of training camp with the injury, but neither Ijalana nor Qvale established himself as the clear-cut replacement.Still, the Jets didnt put in any claims on the waiver wire over the weekend as teams made final cuts.Ive been in this league for 16, 17 years, Bowles said. Right tackles dont fall off trees. Youre not going to claim a starting right tackle in this league. Theyre like quarterbacks.Ijalana has played in seven games in five NFL seasons, mostly on special teams while also serving as a backup left tackle. DBrickashaw Ferguson was the Jets starting left tackle the last 10 years before retiring during the offseason, and he never missed a game or practice in his career -- which left Ijalana with no opportunities for playing time on the offensive line.The 27-year-old Ijalana was re-signed by the Jets in April and moved over to right tackle during offseason workouts. He was comfortable at the new spot by the time New York played its first preseason game last month.I felt like I had a strong camp, Ijalana said. I was pleased I was able to manage the transition from left to right tackle.Qvale is entering his second full season and has started one game, lining up as a jumbo tight end.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was undeterred by the suggestion that a rotation at right tackle could impact the continuity of the offensive line.Weve got to put five linemen out there, so whatever five theyre going to be, were going to trust theyre going to be the right ones, Fitzpatrick said. Both of those guys have been working really hard and have done a good job. Well see how it ends up going, but thats not anything that is of concern to me.Ijalana said Giacomini has helped him with perfecting techniques and pointed out some tips as he continues to learn the position.Im just happy to be in the race, he said.Game notes The Jets public relations department made a clerical error Sunday when it announced former Stony Brook LB Victor Ochi had been signed to the practice squad. Ochi, who was waived by Baltimore without an injury designation, visited the Jets, but did not sign with the team after not passing his physical. He injured a shoulder in the Ravens preseason finale and is expected to be out 1-2 weeks. The Jets still plan to sign Ochi to their practice squad when he is healthy. ... WRs Brandon Marshall (hips) and Quincy Enunwa (concussion) practiced and will be ready for the season opener. Bowles wouldnt say if he was optimistic about the status of LB David Harris (shoulder). Ive got to see him hit somebody, he said. Its still early in the week. ... Jalin Marshall, one of three rookie WRs to make the Jets roster, will serve as the teams primary returner Sunday. ... Bowles on the Jets keeping four QBs with Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg: They all can play and were trying to keep the best football players. Each of them showed enough in the preseason. (Well) give (Hackenberg) a redshirt year and the other three can play. ... The Jets currently have Kellen Davis, Brandon Bostick, Braedon Bowman and Eric Parker at TE, but Bowles said its too early to tell whether theyll keep all four. Probably not, he said.

Yorkshires success doesnt surprise me one bit.I did the voiceover for the Cricketing Yorkshire show we ran on Sky Sports last summer, and you could see how well run they are - theyre the template of how to run a county. Yorkshire gave Sky Sports exclusive behind-the-scenes access during the 2015 season Keeping GillespieIt was a huge moment for Yorkshire when England decided to give the head coach job to Trevor Bayliss because it meant they got to keep Jason Gillespie as their head coach.While I believe Yorkshire would have found a suitable replacement, Gillespies senior management partnership with Martyn Moxon ensures the club is terrifically well run and his departure would have massively affected the team. Jason Gillespie was rumoured to be the next head coach of England Had Gillespie gone, they would have lost three coaches in a quick space of time, after Paul Farbrace and Richard Dawson left for England and Gloucestershire respectively.Gillespie encourages the players to challenge themselves; he stretches them and makes them take pride in what they do.Investing in youthYorkshire certainly work their academy. They test the youngsters, and dont just put them in for a game before taking them out again. The squad is consistently depleted by international call-ups, but they dont moan about it, they just get on with it.That gives lads like Will Rhodes and Jack Leaning a chance alongside a smattering of high-quality overseas players - they had Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell last season and theyll have Kane Williamson this year. Jack Leaning hit three hundreds for Yorkshire in Championship cricket in 2015 I like the fact that the younger players are given responsibility and told its down to you.ddddddddddddLeaning, in particular, produced in 2015, scoring three hundreds and three fifties in first-class cricket.Even someone like 18-year-old Matt Fisher is learning very quickly; he isnt a real fixture in the Championship side yet, but has had to bowl at the death in one-day cricket, in high-pressure situations. Best bowlingYou need a good bowling attack to win the County Championship and Yorkshire have strength in spades in that department.Jack Brooks leads the attack very well, and they have two outstanding senior players in Ryan Sidebottom and Tim Bresnan. Ryan Sidebottom took five wickets, including three in the first over, as Yorkshire secured the County Championship against Middlesex They have come through the system and are Yorkshire through and through, so they are great role models to help guide those younger lads along, and ensure they keep their feet on the ground.Steve Patterson is an unsung player, but equally vital to what they do and they have a quality spinner in Adil Rashid.Theyve also got David Willey coming in, too, but Sidebottom might very well be saying hang on a minute, wait until I have finished! There is real competition for places.Historical hungerThere was the Surrey team of the 1950s that won seven in a row, but Yorkshire have had periods, too, where they have dominated - the Len Hutton era pre-war and then Brian Close and Ray Illingworths time in the 1960s. Len Hutton (L) and Norman Yardley (R) pictured in suits with the white rose of Yorkshire. There is that respect for those that have played previously and a tremendous pride among the players about who they represent.I know for a fact that Yorkshire ensure that their young players coming into the team know the history of the club - theyre now the custodians of the game and, in future years, someone else will come in and take their place.Theyve achieved back-to-back titles now but you can guarantee the club will be saying go out and do it again, lads.
