I feel like cutting him would do more harm than good as he shouldn’t see the field but is by all accounts a great locker room guy. Just keep him around and pray he never starts.

I suspect if Corbett and Zavala weren't both injured they'd give BC a shot out there.  But with those two injured, our options at guard are nearly as limited as our options at tackle.

Brady is a starting LG? That doesn't make any sense unless Zavala is cracking the lineup. I know you COULD bump your LG out to one of the tackle spots and then put Zavala in, but I don't think they do that when they could put in a true (albeit bad) tackle and leave the rest of the line in their natural spots.

Does anyone else here feel like they could get around Cam Irving for a sack?

He only plays tackle if Iky or Morton gets hurt. We are good at guard, trust me.

Texan here, can confirm. 

I bet he loads the dishwasher like a dang Canadian too. 

Married to a Canadian and believe me when I say they take their dishwasher loading VERY seriously.

Brady is our swing tackle...last year was the first time he played guard, and it didn't go very well.  He may be a starting guard this year, but if someone gets hurt, I'm pretty sure we'll put him in instead of Cam.

Also, it's so funny to see people here saying we need a backup at OT while we went through puragatory looking for a tackle for either end before  Moton, and now we have Ickey.  

We're in the top 10, and probably higher, in this league in regard to OT

Pocket presence is one of his things. Showcasing it here. Happy he has it, the man definitely knows what his size can be susceptible to.

Yeah I’m sure if he was 6’4 he’d just be happily taking shots in the knees.

Pocket presence is a lot more than avoiding low hits.

Are you saying that, that move didn't show very good pocket presence? Just trying to understand what you're saying.
