A lot of ppl claim Rhule really knows ball...but does he? 

For someone who 'knows ball", the first step should have been to identify the best five linemen.

Obviously, Ekwonu is one of those guys. It's also pretty clear they believe Christensen is another.

So why in the hell would you ever want two of your acknowledged "top five" competing for one spot?

That is easily one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

And that 1 spot both the most valuable, and the precise reason we drafted Icky.

Campen needs to slap Matt.

Meanwhile in New Orleans lol ...

Our division looks like a real cluster f*#k.  Atlanta is awful, and they set the stage for that a few years ago.  The wheels look like they have come off in New Orleans, once Payton stepped aside.  We have been locked in a struggle to push toward mediocrity. 

I'm not sure I have ever seen three teams in the same division that look like they had a competition to determine who could design and implement the most dysfunction.  Maybe it's just me, but we aren't the "winner" of that competition, and I don't think we are second, either.

Only difference is Panthers and Falcons fans are pessimistic to an insane degree (some valid points) While saints fans are living in a land of delusion.

Agreed. It’s also the same with Baker and Sam. Clearly Baker is better, yet Rhule is putting on this show almost as if he’s begging for people to notice him as a head coach. It’s very weird.

@MHS831 already had a good solution. If BC is looking great at LT then start letting Icky get reps at LG for now. BC at LT and Icky at LG is a solid left side if BC is playing so well. We can slide Icky over to LT as he gets better and possibly trade BC next season if he proves to be a solid LT.

Pretty much my exact view... Ickeys floor is widely regarded as "Day 1 all pro guard" Ickey is our future at LT even Christenson playing even as say the #15-17 rated LT this season isn't going to change that his ceiling is probably as a great technique pass blocking LT and below average run blocker.  But if they both play well he would be a great asset to trade.

I know that's the reality of the situation and may play out that way, but it doesn't address the disappointment that Ikem isn't plug and play at LT.  Either we didn't hit the right pick, or we are handling him wrong.  We had our choice of every tackle in the draft.   Either way, it doesn't sit right.  Ikem was one of the huddle's favorites, so of course they are going to jump to we are handling it wrong.

I wasn't as impressed with BC last year, but part of that was we moved him up and down the line playing musical chairs as people got hurt.   He's had a year and was dominant in college, so we'll see.

Myles Garrett is there waiting for us in five weeks.  They need to figure it out fast.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
