We payed Evan Smith $4M last year to play half the snaps as a reserve. It would be due to his lack of versatility. I also don't think we can cut him now without an injury settlement.

Agreed it will be because of lack of versatility in relation to cap hit. Plus it was easier to hold onto vets for depth when there were very few 2nd contracts on the team. Assuming this team continues to draft at even an average rate, the days of having 2 reserve olinemen eating close to 6 million in cap is over.

I remember watching the Dolphins Ravens game when Alonso laid the dirty hit on Flacco and I wanna say it was Jensen to go after Kiko Alsonso right away before because mauled by a pile of Dolphin players.

sryan66611 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I just thought about it earlier and it's kinda weird... Sweezy plays RG, Marpet plays RG/C, and Jensen G/C. I don't know what side Jensen plays on but whos going to play LG. It would be crazy to think to move marpet again to another position, and although it may seem easy it's super hard to adjust from left to right side or vice versa with an o lineman. That kick step is crucial and its really hard to try and learn to kick step with the other foot. Not saying its impossible but when your muscles have learned that movement for so long it's like trying to throw the football or writing with your non-dominant hand.

This is all why I think Jensen gets plugged in at LG and Marpet/Sweezy stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, PR kept reporting how Jensen preferred to play center, but Indy wanted him at guard. They have written many times the plan was to move Marpet back to RG. Certainly they could be wrong. At this point, I wouldnt be shocked to see them sign Evan Smith to be the interior oline backup, and give Benenoch and a rookie compete to start at LG.

Yea either Jensen goes center and Sweezy is cut or they put him at LG and marpet/sweezy stay put. Either way it will be an upgrade over last year so I can't be disappointed.

If we make another move for the interior of our line, then I'll believe we're gonna move Marpet to guard. Right now, Sweezy is the big weak link. And our decision makers (thus far) have deemed Sweezy as strictly a RG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What_The_Buc Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I see us moving Marpet back to guard. Probably back to RG but maybe they plan on making the move to LG for Marpet. He and Donovan are really close so that continuity could be good on the line. Also he played LT at Hobart so I’m sure he’s comfortable on the left side. Just a thought.

REDandPEWTER Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I think we can cut Sweezy at any point so he’s not a given. I think the Bucs won’t force to have to add another guard in the second week of FA or the draft. If one falls into them they like them I can see Sweezy getting cut.

We'd probably have to pay him a settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sounds like he was gonna become the highest paid center in the NFL no matter who signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
