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

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
