Time to see what Cade Mays is all about.

With experience, I feel like Mays will be great. Keep in mind after we drafted him, we knew Austin Corbett was gonna be one of the guards and had a good idea Christensen was switching to the other. So Mays was fairly limited his rookie year. He'll probably make some mistakes (we know Ickey sure did early on), but with patience I think he'll succeed.

Odd move because Zavala is likely gonna be at LG when Corbett returns.

Maybe if Zavala sucked last week you could go ahead and switch up both spots but he played pretty well so may as well leave the right side functional. Also Cade sucked at RG in camp so maybe he’ll have better luck as a fill in on the left side for a couple weeks. I still think Nash Jensen is the best option out of these backups and might be playing by halftime

Thomas Brown (I believe it was him at least), said in presser Zavala would stay at RG to maintain some continuity.

I think the tweet I saw saying they were starting also said Reich wouldn't say with side they were playing.  

It's tough.  Zavala looked amazing at RG, so I understand the continuity, but it would probably be worth it to go ahead and put Zavala back next to Ickey and Mays at RG to hold it down until Corbett comes back.

Yeah it’s entirely possible they changed their mind as the final days of prep went on. I think Brown said they’d like to keep continuity but odds are Zavala winds up back at LG in a few weeks anyway so it makes plenty of sense to switch him now.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
