How did Ekwonu look?

[Carl Spackler]

Anybody see anything good, bad, in between?

[Khyber53]

Honestly, kind of non-descript. That's not a bad thing, though. He seemed to be holding his own without getting Holding penalties.

1 bad snap on the Sam TD, other than that no issues really. Didn’t stand out pancaking guys left and right but wasn’t really beat other than that. He’s a stout run blocker.

he had one really really bad play, so bad it may get baker killed but the rest he was an animal.  I will go and rewatch his snaps at some point in the week but from what I watched he as a mauler

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

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

Think that’s spot on. He’ll struggle early with speed rushers but while he’s getting that part of the game down, he will maul any DL that doesn’t possess that quick off the snap speed.

Like he could have used a lot more practice reps leading up to today...

But he is fast enough to deal with them once he sees it enough

 

dude is big, strong, fast and best of all...................mean

He looks like he should be playing guard. Not LT.

[ForJimmy]

He will need to develop as a pass blocker as was advertised before the draft, but is an immediate mauler in run blocking and has a huge ceiling.

Short term I'd agree, this was always the case even pre draft, he has the tools though to be an elite LT eventually not sure why people are pooing this post.

Because that’s what the Huddle does. Dude could grade out with a 90 and people here would still be negative.

Oh I've born witness to it since 2004, and of course it's become worse not better.
