I think BC should have been playing LT from the get go in rookie camp, etc.  Flipping him around the entire line has not been great for his development.  Sure he's an old rookie, but he's still a rookie.  They should have been grooming him since May...

Again, the coaches are just as much to blame for the poopy execution.

That being said.  He did have some good reps.  I'd say he needs to play LT from here on out.  May as well see if he does improve.

At the end of the day Rhule and Fitterer thought we had an OL good enough to evaluate Darnold and they were wrong

I agree, 1,000%.  During TC, the narrative was that the OL was going to be an issue, but most teams have OL issues.  I'm just so disappointed in our coaching staff, for not at least being competitive.  The team just seems so listless - which goes well beyond all the other issues this team has.

The constant shuffling at OL is just another sign that these guys don't have the coaching chops to succeed. You had all offseason to establish a pecking order for your OL at each position. The first injury starts a cavalcade of position changes, player rotations, etc, etc. The lack of continuity is amazing. How in the world could anyone see that going on and think that could ever work? You can move these guys around like they are chess pieces and expect them to all perform as they did before. That's not a real thing in the NFL.

It really doesn't get old. THis is really how the Jets feel with the butt fumble it wont' ever go away b/c it's funnier each time actually.

The only saving grace here is the market....if this happened in New York it'd be a much bigger deal and all over the shop. One of the few good things about being irrelevant is your blunders are barely paid attention to as well.

It wasn't really a sack. He was trying to prevent an interception. 

This right here made my work day! I thank you both!

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.

      We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.

      I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
