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.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
