If he gets his hands on the rusher they are done.  Had a bit of trouble with some outside speed rushes.

This is WHY he should be starting with the ones playing burns EVERY SINGLE SNAP working on his footwork as the speed gap adjustment is the biggest change. But no rhule must deem his arms shorter than chrostensen who should be working at guard. I hope we can him by october, mcadoo takes over and calls plays. And we get what the Phillies have done after canning girardi.

Or at least what the raiders did last year

Kinda baffling they won't experiment with BC at LT and Ickey at LG. As much as I dislike them constantly shuffling guys around I think those two should be together on the left side for gelling purposes and it would be an easy adjustment to swap them when the time comes. Certainly better than having Jordan out there in any combo as Verge noted

Every tackle’s gonna get beat once or twice a game because of the skill level of the league, but if he’s also creating good push most of the time then it’s all good

Especially going against Montez Sweat, one of the better DE's in the league.

I saw the replay on Darnold's TD and it was on both players.  Ickey was trying to push the edge rusher out and beyond where the QB typically would be.  He was beat, but not as bad as it looked.  Darnold kept fading back and even further back.  The LT's job is to misdirect the edge rusher not shadow them 5-10 yards up field.  Had Darnold stayed tight in the pocket, he probably got the ball out before the rusher gets to him avoiding the hit, otherwise it would have been roughing QB.

Upon further review Darnold had to keep back peddling because the interior of the OL got blown the fug up.  One of their DTs and right end were at the 15 yard line when Darnold released the ball just shy of the 20.  Where was the LOS?  Lol, the 8 yard line!!!  The 15 yard line is where Ickey lost his man that hit Darnold at the 19.  Again, that's 7 yards behind the LOS.  You can tell Ickey kind of let him go at that point.  He was probably thinking "why is this dude still running up field?"

Who would you all rather see week 1 vs. Myles Garrrett.  BC or Ickey. 🤔

I think Ickey's undeveloped pass pro warrants some serious concern for week 1.

I think you got to let the rookie take his lumps and learn on the job. That's why you drafted him number 6 overall.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By strato · Posted

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
