Sperm Edwards Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 6 hours ago, #27TheDominator said: Maybe rather than being able to cover for himself if he failed on the left side, Fant was claiming that he belongs on the left. That is why he signed here. To be the LT. Then they drafted Becton, flopped him and everyone acted like Fant was a bubble guy. As someone that always supported the signing, let me point out that whenver Seattle seemed ready to pencil him in, something would derail Fant's season. I admittedly wasn’t big on the signing. On the heels of losing a camp competition to semi-bust Ifedi, he was signed for $9MM/yr - clear starter money - and was a below-average RT in 2020. Then he moves to the other side and becomes an above average LT. Honestly I can’t recall seeing that happen before, but have no complaints with the flip. Maybe he moves more naturally the other way, but what’s really curious is he made it sound like he was going to have a tougher time at LT than he had at RT. Who cares now, though? I’d leave him at LT next year unless Becton absolutely wipes the floor with him all summer, which is possible but doubt it’ll happen. It was put to me that Becton’s got RT experience, and should have most of a spring + summer to get his RT sea legs under him. He was drafted to be the team’s LT but situations change, and anyway the goal is to put the best team out there. If he is a bit of an upgrade from Fant at LT but Fant is a major downgrade from Becton at RT, the greater good is not being served. Anyway, plenty of time for those evaluations 6+ mos from now. Good problem to have, for a team to have two tackles who can both legit play LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Felt like this was a good bump to put some minds at ease of Fant going back to RT. Amazing to see the freakazoids freaking out too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks hypothesized about kicking AVT out to RT, with Jeremiah arguing it’d be a mistake to weaken the interior to patch up right tackle, which ai thought was interesting. His view was that it was easier to compensate for a bad tackle than a bad IOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Interesting fun fact from PFF on where Zach saw most of his pressures. He was pressured on 166 of his dropbacks, 39 of those were the fault of the right guard (GVR); 36 of them due to the right tackle. 29 were AVT’s fault, 20 from Fant, 13 from McGovern, and 29 were credited to Zach himself.

I wonder if it improved noticeably as time went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have game by game, but I’d have to upgrade my subscription and that would make me extra annoying. 2 minutes ago, JiFapono said: Well, again, seemingly RT is more natural for Fant so this seems a dont over think it situation but they have 30 days to figure it out. Pretty much. I’d be pretty chapped if I was Fant, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
