Run blocking is what guys like Ickey do best. It's what he's most comfortable doing. It's his first game. Get him going doing what he does well before throwing a ton of pass blocking into the scheme.

Because you need to wait until game 15 to realize that the guy you have starting at a vital position on the oline sucks and should be replaced by someone else. Or you could read the Huddle and have known it week 1 of preseason.

I'm not blaming the refs for why we lost, but it would be nice if they at least knew the rules or would call the booth for clarification.

We fugged ourselves not firing Rhule after last season. Can't blame the refs for that one.

There's only 32 GM jobs in the NFL. Sometimes you take the job even though it isn't an ideal situation to get your foot in the door. Or he could have thought like anyone with any football knowledge other than Tepper that Rhule would have and should have been fired at the end of last year. What we've seen this offseason, the problem isn't totally on Fitts. Rhule has conducted this team like a pop warner tryout. At halftime in game 1, I'm not ready to say this is all Fitts fault that Rhule looks like what we've all said for 2 years, a piss poor college football coach.

I'm not totally there on Fitts yet simply because we don't know to what extent he is required to follow Rhule. I'd like to see him one offseason without this chucklehead of a coach.

It's hard to watch it being done well. It's also one of the reasons I don't buy the whole 7 year rebuild BS. Identify your QB, protect him, and get him freaking weapons. We're on QB 5 in less than 3 years. We've got a serious problem Identifying talent.

Just makes me wonder more what might have been if we had kept Beane and McDermott

Hope they have good drainage underneath that turf. Turf and rain seem like a bad combo at high speeds.

Was listening to a podcast a couple of days ago, can't remember which one, but there was mention of the Panthers and then the salesman. I can only assume they meant SCP.

A pedigree from Baylor or Temple is number 1.

Probably experienced some PTSD with Darnolds hospital balls.

He did, but pulled his hamstring when he did it.

I'm in. Winner should get a nippleshorts fathead.

Eye test says Jordan can't play guard either.

I've wondered for a while if Fitts is drafting the guys he wants or if he's drafting guys to fit Rhule's team building philosophy. It just seems like we're focused on getting the best prospect instead of the best player for what we need.

Wait until one of the other rookie QBs that looked interesting pre draft gets cut and stash them on the PS. If Baker goes down our season is over anyway. No need to bring anyone that is really going to cost anything. We need all the cap space we can to roll over to next year.

I would consider with PJ we're more at 1.5

Good thing he was playing out of position. He's really a guard.

Watching what has happened with Becton has really changed my view on huge linemen at 350 plus lbs. I know how much being 375 made my knees hurt and I wasn't torquing on them near as much as these guys are. That's a lot of weight and leverage on a weak area.

I would have. I prefer a mean streak that you just can't teach and Ikky definitely has that.

I'd have been happy with 2015 if we had a ring
