Perhaps this has already been answered somewhere, but it seems Rivera rotates Trai Turner out at RG during these past couple of games.  Why is that?

 

Velasco>Turner

 

Horton>Ealy

 

White & Norman>Benwikere

 

Godfrey>Boston

 

Maybe we can wait 3 seasons to see if they ever get better than the bottom tier talent they are backing up right now. Would have been better off trading away picks 2 through 7 for 1 player you knew could jump right in as a starter. Then just fill the other starting positions with undrafted free agents. Seems like that has been the plan all along.

We don't have the depth in the secondary or on the offensive line to start benching players.

Really we don't have the depth period to start benching players.

Other than KK for Cole and Big Frank for Horton, there aren't many moves to be made.

I guess Godfrey for Harper is another move that could be made but the result will likely be the same.

I vote Harper or Chandler.

 

I agree with this.  Harper looked very slow and Chandler didn't slow anyone down all day.

 

Bell has surrendered more sacks and pressures, including one that led to a key turnover and 25 yards in penalties vs. Pittsburgh, than some LTs will have for the season.   He is that bad.

 

Horton is another name I would add.  He was abuse in the run game and was non-existent in the pass game.

 

I don't feel DeCoud's presence on the field like I should from a FS.  Maybe I am not paying attention because he is not a big hitter.

 

One thing is for sure--our weaknesses are being exposed.  We really have no SS, no legit RT or LT, and I am concerned that we are filling Hardy's spot with a couple lightweights (Horton, Addison).

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
