No chance. The odd man out if Zion is healthy is Rivers. It's not even close IMO.Cooper was our best Olineman 2nd half of the season, the odd man out is Zion

Not so sure, Zion is a good pass protector but was average in the run game, it would be battle between Nelson and rovers for the job and the competition will do them both good.No chance. The odd man out if Zion is healthy is Rivers. It's not even close IMO.
Well I'm pretty sure. Here's the bottom line, we are set at guard with Cooper and Cohen. That means Rivers would be competing DIRECTLY with Zion.Not so sure, Zion is a good pass protector but was average in the run game, it would be battle between Nelson and rovers for the job and the competition will do them both good.

And as I've said several times on this board, a healthy Zion is MUCH better TACKLE than Rivers. Rivers is a guard all the way in my eyes.
From all that I hear ... especially from one guy that is fairly close to the situations ... the likelihood of Zion playing this year is very, very low. His issue is his body's ability for soft tissue and nerve endings to heal and it hasn't gone well. The comment has been that at this point nobody knows if his knee will heal sufficiently for him to resume football activities. At least in the case of Citizen there is a timeline ... "doubtful he will play in 2023 but should be full go for 2024". Not the case for Zion ... nobody actually knows how his healing process will go. So far it hasn't gone well enough.Not if Zion is healthy.
What in the absolute ****? Will this guy ever play football for us again?The biggest takeaway from the week is, unfortunately, the status of Nelson. Once thought to be a potential first-round pick in the NFL Draft, Nelson played in just one game last year after getting knee surgery before the season and still won’t be ready for the start of fall camp Tuesday. What was thought to be a relatively minor procedure has turned into a multiyear issue.

They really did chop his leg off at the knee, huh? ****, we need him this at the start of this season to be 100%The biggest takeaway from the week is, unfortunately, the status of Nelson.

Could possibly be starting two true freshman at T come week 1. I know they are 5 stars but this isn't ideal.A bit deflating to learn that Zion isn't ready.
Assuming for a moment that Zion won't play in 2023....
what do we think of this depth chart heading into camp?
OT Rivers, Mauigoa, Okunlola, McCoy, Washington, Tinilau
OG Cohen, Cooper, Sagapolu, Denis, Seymore, Kinsler
C Lee, Rodriguez, Tripp
Cooper and Kinsler played OT in high school
Denis lined up at OT some at Oregon
Both Rivers and Okunlola gave up "sacks" in the spring game from the LT position so you may be on to something.At this point Cici might need to play LT..I think he’s better than Rivers already at that spot
That's what I was thinking. Someone is getting fed bad info. Hopefully the people saying he won't be ready.D$ said a week ago he'll be ready to play.
