Latest word is they're gonna keep him on the right...at least until Corbett gets back

Interesting. The most obvious long-term lineup is Ickey, Zavala, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton ... why delay getting 4 of those 5 pieces in place?

Possible reasons:

  • Corbett is further away than expected? Meaning we need Zavala at RG for much longer than 3 weeks.
  • Corbett is moving to LG when he gets back.
  • The coaches think Zavala will have no issues moving back his college position of LG once Corbett returns.
  • The coaches are slow playing it so Brady doesn't feel that he is being replaced in the starting lineup.

1000% guessing but I think they don’t want to mix up 2 different positions from their starting lineup vs 1. All they want to worry about is the best player to play LG and the rest of the OL should be the same. When Corbet comes back we already has experience/ chemistry with Moton and Bozeman so he can slide right back into RG while Zavala can flip to LG with some experience under his belt  and hopefully lock down that spot for many years.

Meaningless now, but it wasn't so meaningless to the guy trying to win the head coaching job at the time.

He was never going to win the job and that should’ve been communicated to him as we were mindful of protecting our long term assets rather than pretending to interview 

now the bill has predictably come due 

also lol at the notion that Steve Wilks should be commended for putting his own career aspirations above the good health of his players

We were a Tampa bay win away from making the playoffs.

How were those games meaningless?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
