You have to prevent any sense of entitlement from day one. Put the best guy out there and anyone who wants the position needs to take it.

So explain Pollard not taking snaps away from a hobbled zeke......Or collins not playing LG
pollard's gotten more snaps than he ever would've under garrett.
and the fact that collins was not moved to guard...by a staff that was willing to move zack out to ot...started an udfa at ot...and moved an og to fb should speak volumes about where la'el was post contract/car accident.

Collins moved to RT in the first place for financial purposes. And Jerry obliged. The reason Zeke wasnt told to sit down by MM is because MM wasnt allowed to. Jerry wants his money on the field. Pollard was outperforming Zeke. Period. Zeke was hurt. A coach that has a brain would sit Zeke and play pollard and let Zeke heal for the playoffs. Instead. Jerry and MM had another sleepover and we got to see one legged Zeke taking touches away from Pollard.

If I were McCarthy I'd be getting him as many reps at LT now as I can so when Tyron inevitably goes down we don't have a "Connor Williams at Center" scenario like last preseason. I won't be worried if he's not at LG until training camp.

TBH, it didn't seem like you were exaggerating to me, but if that's how you meant to use it, then you should have usedthe word "using" instead of "being" before "hyperbole". Sorry, but that really confused me. ;)

should have used hyperbolic, but it was pretty contextually obvious imo

Could have used hyperbolic, yes. But I didn't see it as him being particularly so, therefore I thought he meant something else, but I didn't know what.

I wasn't just busting his balls, or "calling him out".

I know it’s only Day 1 of mini camp but it’s being said that Tyler is not practicing in the “starting five” and McGovern is still the LG.

I know I’m being hyperbole but when do YOU start to worry if Tyler is still not practicing in the top 5?

I think I start getting nervous if he’s not practicing at that spot in Oxnard.

Keep developing Tyler's skills at LT. We shoulda done that with Connor Williams years ago.
