Same, but I still think Ickey needs time. He is a mauler right now in Run Blocking so I don't think this forum understands that this is the reality, they also might have saw something on film from joint practices like Baldy called out in his little video and are exploiting it until Ickey fixes it.

Oh I’m not saying he’s a bust at LT yet lol just that he may need to start at guard for a season if he can’t handle it yet. He’s super talented. Plenty of room to grow.

Let's play an All Pro caliber LG at LT because we spent the #6 pick on him and don't want to admit he can't pass block effectively at the NFL level.

Genius!

Let's play a capable starting LT who can pass block at LG where he sucks at pulling and getting down field or getting off DTs to get to LBs.

Genius!

It's almost like you just started watching football most OTs including elite ones get lumps early.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
