Honestly, unless he gets a lot better really quickly Brady Christensen should probably be the week one starter at LT.

I agree. BC looked very good mirroring his opponent in some of the film from camp. I’d feel best about 

BC - Ekwonu - Elflein - Corbett - Moton

[Donald LaFell]

I think most LTs do pretty poorly. If he can be an elite run blocker and improving pass blocker that’s still a much better situation than last year.

Honestly, Ekwonu's skill set seems better suited at OG right now. That's not to say he won't develop into a LT but we need to be focused on fielding our best five guys right now and if that means Ickey at OG so be it.

Until Ickey refines his technique and learns to be less aggressive pass blocking.... This is a fine line.... It doesn't make him a bust he's still the LT of the future... and an all pro guard this season.

I remember Chris Harris coming like a bullet doing that to the Bears in 08, the announcers were having a ball lol.

That was the one I saw before Ickey gave up two sacks.  That was rough...  and discouraging.

I know he has time to get better, but I didn't expect to see that.

Key words here, He can be an all pro guard this season and move back to LT next year and according to the toons here he would be a bust.

Simple laws of physics head down no momentum.

Both of Ickeys bad plays were stunts..... That's somthing just having a capable C or QB to call protections can fix.

Yeah was pretty clear where he struggled. Rhule is dumb but not THAT dumb. he knows he needs reps so he has him out there learning. He’ll be in the film room learning this week

Rookie OTs have their good and bad plays. Even Jordan Gross had his. Still it's more about reps than skill at this point. The game is very fast right now and he needs time to let it slow down. The only real OT I've seen that was ready day one was Otah. It was the injuries that killed him not the talent because he had it in butt loads.

I will say this about icky. He like to lean into players before he has good hands. That second video is what happens when you don't control a guy and he's just as strong as you are. Can't always rely on your brutality because there are bad mofos in the NFL.
