Good Drinking Material - Zavala stats

[Smithers]

Maybe we should start running all our screens to the left side 

[96Bravo]

It's funny because you'd think his familiarity with Icky would be a positive.

[FugginPoo]

In Zavala we trust!

[Shocker]

We have a lot of good players out right now…he has to play

Horn

Haynes

Shaq

Woods

Brady

Corbett

Donte 

I mean those are all good players for us

Yeah lots of our "good" players out with injuries.

Horn and Donte are made of glass.  I figured Donte wouldn't make it the entire season, but I hoped for Horn to have a full season where he really balled out.....hope

is

lost.

He’s a 4th round rookie who would not usually be forced into starting right away. He will get better. 

Well, I mean he can't get much worse so you've basically got a 50/50 shot of being right.

People on here were calling him a steal in the 4 lath round during week 2. Oh how things have changed.

They played 5 games together in college. Zavala was transferred during the summer, later got injured so they barely trained and played together. BC have played and trained more with Ickey than Zavala have.

changed from 7 to 5 games, according to an article

That just means the center isn't doing his job.

[WhoKnows]

Damn, that’s Greg Little level pressures. I recall him having a dozen+ pressures against Atlanta in one of his first few games. At least we didn’t trade up to the 2nd  to get him.

[Panthering]

Trial by fire, I feel for him but it’s good learning experience.  Hopefully he grows from this. 

[woahfraze]

I thought he was legitimately good in Week 1–had numerous impressive reps where he completely stonewalled his DT assignment in one on ones. But since then he’s had a lot of plays where the defender has put him on skates.

You don’t throw rookie olinemen out there to learn on the fly when you’ve traded the farm for a tiny QB. I swear, I really don’t think our front office has a clue what they’re doing.

Backup rookie starting game 1 on opposite side than where he played the majority of preseason is doing poorly? Color me shocked.

Are we really expecting a 4th round lineman to be thrown into a starting gig at the very last minute to be playing well?  What does he have...10 padded practices as the starter?
