I think that is why guys like Ekwonu and Penning stand out specifically to me. They just have that personality that they are going to try and destroy you every play.

When Icky talks, you can tell he loves being out there.

Hell, I got no problem doing something because you are good at it, and they pay you well...no problems at all....I do that at my job.  But there is a difference you can see if they love it.

NOOOOO!  Pickett completed 46% of his passes when the pocket was not clean

When I hear this, and see it...the only thing that makes sense is that he doesn't really love to play the game he does it because he's good at it, and he can get paid to do it.

Nothing wrong with that, but I'd rather have the guy who loves the game even if a touch less talented than someone who does it just because he's a big athletic guy.

I think he is also more laid back and doesn't have that nastiness you look for in OL.  He is very talented and can still be great, but if you give Neal's Icky's meanstreak you would have one hell of a LT.

I think there's a legit possibility Pickett is worse than Darnold. But Pickett isn't already ruined at the NFL level so there's an air of hope that always surrounds a rookie.
