Remmers was solid until the Denver game when we decided he could handle Miller on his own. Most end of the year rankings had us right behind the Cowboys that year.

Yeah I recall him being steady but that SuperBowl  and the following year Denver to start the season he fell off bad. That was definitely  bad coaching too. Von Miller ate his lunch.

I just like how excited Ickey is to be in the building, playing for his childhood (teenagehood?) favorite team.

Watching his post-draft videos and comments show so much pure joy and happiness.  If he lives up to the promise of what he's supposed to bring to the table, I hope he sticks with us for a lonnnnnng time (and keeps that smile a'going.)

Jordan gross said he hopes we put a left guard beside him and let them just stick. I was telling a guy at work I hope Deonte could put up a fight with Brady. He said he has watched  Cade and thinks he has a fair shot to get the guard spot. Regardless,  we could have massive holes on either  side for the 1st time since  Oher Norwell  Kalil Turner Moton... 

We definitely have options. I think BC is the easy answer for LG long term, but Mays could be that guy too. Or he could put in a challenge for center? I don't know. I just know it's good to finally have decent options and a good OL coach.  i just hope that we can get long term contracts for Bozeman and Corbett. 

We need not just talent on that OL, but we need a group of guys who will be together for several years. Yes, we definitely need to get someone working beside Icky long term, but we need to get that whole line in there long term as well. 5 guys who can dominate as a unit and a few guys who can fill in with little being noticed.

I think that he has the highest ceiling of the 3 that were available, even if he wasn't the most ready to play. He'll take some rookie lumps in pass protection against the speed rush, but DAMN, I can't wait to see CMC running behind him! Line Tremble up on that side as well and it's going to be pure carnage in the run game!

Definitely because it's  been forever since we have had continuity  on the oline!!! I hope we can lock them up too and it seems Bradley does want to live in the area and grow off the field.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
