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 can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
