Default Bad timing...

Anyone know if it's possible for a brake to hang up and not release,
resulting in advanced wear like this? Or should I keep blaming Mary
for riding the (right) brake?

I'm by no means an expert, but as I was reading this, I was thinking of
possible causes and came up with this possibility.
In my training a/c, full throttle requires some right rudder to keep her
straight. I'm assuming your a/c does this too. Is it possible that when you
are applying this right rudder, you're also inadvertently applying the right
brake at the same time? I'm also assuming your a/c has toe brakes. As you
can see, I know very little about a/c mechanics, but this seemed feasible to
me.
