He is pretty bad against average college edge rushers. Panthers drafted an NFL guard. No shot he goes toe to toe on 3rd down with NFL edge rushers week in and week out.

He had a QB who got away and threw the ball away when Ekwonu consistently got beat against the pass. Couple that with the rest of the OL being worse against the pass rush and not having to face top edge rushers makes it easy to see why Ekwonu's sack total was not as bad as his pass blocking at LT.

He will be moved to guard eventually. Christensen and Erving are better pass blockers unfortunately. 

We're still going back after Deshaun Watson at some point, right? 😐

There’s a lot of guys doing YouTube things these days but when it comes to offensive linemen this guy has a history of knowing his poo. As soon as we drafted Ekwonu, I went and looked for this dudes take. Fwiw he was a big Slater fan last year.

"if you're going to go against one the Bosa kids, which is going to be a tough fight, you want to have your technical side down because they're bringing technical stuff to you, but if you're against defensive end that relies more on his athleticism, he [Ekwonu] will be fine. He'll be able to win because he has the movement and NFL strength and size already."

Only 19 pages for a 1st round pick?  Site didn't go down?  #bringbackthefans

I know I don't come on here as much due to the constant moderator-led "I hate Fatt Rhule" crybaby circle jerk. I'm probably not the only one. If we consolidated all the whining to a high estrogen sub forum, it would probably help. I'm not sold om the guy, but dayum, it's been 2 seasons. I used to look at the Jets forum when I needed a laugh. This one is currently more embarassing.

FYI

  • Bradley Bozeman  6th round
  • Austin Corbett 2nd round (33rd pick overall)
  • Pat Elflein  3rd Round
  • Taylor Moton 2nd Round (last pick in round 2)
  • Brady Christensen 3rd Round
  • Ickey Ikwonu  1st Round (6th overall pick)

 

Don't forget about Tremble in 3rd round too.  We should be able to run a little.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
