Twitter: Zack Martin Open To Moving to Right Tackle

[G2]

That’s where I have him.

Lol, I meant LG.

 

[Stash]

Lol, I meant LG.

So you’re good with Steele or Nyseke at right tackle?

 

[America's Cowboy]

Coaches need to put their foot down.

It's clear Zack Martin personally doesn't want to play Right Tackle. Too bad.

The coaches need to tell him to zip it and simply do as he's told. Everyone knows it would be best to have Martin at Right Tackle with Connor McGovern filling his spot at Right Guard, than it would be to keep Martin happy at Right Guard while placing either Steele or Nsekhe at Right Tackle.

I would try Steele and if it hit the fan, move Martin out if it got ugly. Williams is awful and the only reason it's not obvious to everyone is because Smith is next to him. Just my opinion, Williams is the weakest link.

NO

steele to TY to martin

we need to see who can do their jobs first ,Martin will be moved in an emergency like last year but i believe players whould be given a shot to do their jobs..we have TYn and Steele as backup tackles and need chance to show what they practiced for all off-season..

I agree with you if it’s about the start five with Collins. But with him out, I think it’s then about right tackle and Steele and Nyseke being worse than Williams.

 

[McKDaddy]

I'm not saying he can't do it but I'm not sure why so many people are completely confident he can just roll out there & dominate. I mean, he has only done it on a very limited sample size in the NFL.

I also tend to think you have guys on the roster for this situation. Not sure it's time to bail on the plan even though it could go badly against Bosa.

 

[Risen Star]

And that would be:

LT - Smith
LG - Williams
C - Biadasz
RG - McGovern
RT - Martin

The idea of taking McGovern off the field for Steele or Nyseke is a bad one.

It is beyond comprehension that a group of adults could discuss this and decide getting Steele on the field is the better option.

 

[Bowdown27]

Hmm. Sounds like he’ll do it if he has to, but he doesn’t yet feel like it’s something that’s an emergency thing

how it comes off like break glass if needed

 

[Jarv]

Run blocking? Really? Lol. The entire team didn't break 50 yards rushing and zero TDs. I'd say that's a pretty useless statistic.

Hey Street, It was actually "Top 10 OG Run Block Win Rate"

It’s almost like they force themselves to learn things the hard way.

 

[GMO415]

Hahaha. We've moved on from that. Now, we have no pass rush.

 

[Ranching]

Pretty sure McCarthy was a bit more open to the idea yesterday as well. Seems like the conversations are going on to make the move behind closed doors. Hopefully they pull the trigger.

Cut him!

 

[Risen Star]

It’s almost like they force themselves to learn things the hard way.

Like how they were flabbergasted that a kicker who hasn't practiced since last season would be rusty week 1.

It appears like we may have paid a price for that. Hindsight's 20/20.

 

[Ranching]

Imagine thinking you have a choice as a player.

Hey Zack...you're playing RT or you're inactive until you do.

That simple.

I rarely agree with you, but I do on this one.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Hey Zack...you're playing RT or you're inactive until you do.

He'd still get paid, so what would he care?

I tend to think some people place too much emphasis on right tackle with a right handed QB.
**THIS DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT IMPORTANT!!!** - For those that will jump on my case.

So moving our best linemen outside and Smith on the opposite, I don't have a lot of confidents on the middle with Williams-Bladasz-McGovern. But it will be fun to see how things go.

 

[mrmojo]

Reactive organization...........can't remember the last time we were ahead of a situation....

No, I get it. It just seems ridiculous to me on such a TINY sample size.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

ZM isn’t a swing T.

imho, this should have been fixed in the draft.


So here we are.

You essentially pay him to do whatever you need him to do to win. Its not really fair to the team honestly. They fixed the line in the draft so that they could have the option to put their 5 best linemen out there.
