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.

per the article, it was a bicep injury late in the game but kept playing.

This is what Rhule means when he says "his arms aren't long enough!" That bicep was stretched too much! I kid, I kid.

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

It is possible for BC to return this season?

Didn't Zavala play LG with Icky at LT at NC State? Wouldn't that make more sense?

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

How were those games meaningless?

we’re talking about the saints game 

also getting humiliated by Dallas in the playoffs wouldn’t have saved his job
