I only see your opinion, do tell link the all 22 footage and break it down for us why don't you?

While you are at it tell me what his issue was on those plays because those who actually understand the dynamics of an offensive line can tell you.

Hands low and wide. Ineffective punch. Target for long pass rushers, speed rushers, and tacticians.

No balance and leverage in pass sets.

Plays high. High hips. Centers weight over toes. This will lead to him adjusting slowly to stunts and getting turned opening an easy lane to the QB.

In pass blocking you will also see him get over aggressive with a punch when he is desperate and feels like he is beat. This will lead to him over extending and lunging. He is known for even leaving his feet during this punch in pass sets.

His kick slide is going to be tested often. He kicks 2 yards in 3 kicks instead of 3 yards consistently and this will lead to him trying to beat the snap against speed rushers. He consistently gets turned 90 degrees on the finish of his 2nd kick step at less than 2 yards deep. I'm expecting several false starts against the competition he will be facing. He has already done this a few times in 2 preseasons games. Officials are letting calls like this go in the preseason.

As for the tape, I am not putting this together for you. Do your own homework and take notes.

Btw, Sewell did not struggle with this technique on the right side. He quickly got better on the left side while he was there in an emergency for some games. Sewell's struggle was retraining muscle memory from right to left side.

here is some video for you to look at besides taking notes on the actual game.

Watch the better kick step and technique from BC next to him.

 

 

This is the norm for Ekwonu. Not the exception. Watch his pass pro reps. He struggles bad with play action and 3 step drops. I am not looking forward to seeing him with 5 and 7 step drops against the level of talent he is going to face.

That's YouTube not all 22...

 

I'll give you all three of his splashy f ups were stunt plays.... He absolutely needs to work on controlling his aggression and becoming a technician, These things were all known pre draft he has a lot to learn in pass pro... Calling him a bust after less than 3 quarters of preseason football is jackassery however.

He pulled up a article saying he was graded low in Preseason and gave up more than 1 sack in preseason (just like Ikey)..

So while you totally missed the point about this being a preseason conversation.. Not a regular season.. Since Ickey hasn't played in a regular season game.. So how are you dismissing the comparison?? Based on Sewell Regular season play...

Do you see how you missed the landing here??

How many sacks did Sewell have in his rookie preseason? For someone who likes facts, you made your own facts and didn't read.

I was comparing preseasons. Sewell worked RT in training camp. Moved to LT in preseason due to an injury/concerns of the starting LT before the week 1 opener. That would be preseason. 

You like facts, but don't go by facts.

Who called him a bust? He is not a good LT. I see him as a PB OG who the Panthers failed to assess properly and drafted too high. Some team will move him to OG if it isn't the Panthers because he won't be worth the 6th pick used on him or a veteran LT contract.

The Panthers will still need to find a LT who can protect the QB.

Maybe you didn't call him a bust but at ten people have in this thread...  He has the physical tools to be a LT..  far to early to know if he can... that said I would also have preferred him to play LG this season....

He was drafted for the sole purpose of being their RT where he had reps/practiced. That’s where he lined up in that preseason game he struggled. He did have to switch during the actual season to LT (a position he played his whole college career) and struggled off and in with that. You are complaining about Icky struggling in a PRESEASON game. The same type of game Sewell struggled as a rookie last year in the position he was drafted to play. Icky was also just named the starting LT before the game and has had reps in practice as LG also. 
-Just because you start a paragraph with “facts” doesn’t make it true. 

So you think Ickey is Sewell level rookie quality? OT pass blocking 1 sack all season level in his rookie season?

Stop comparing them. Ickey is already behind Sewell at this point last year.

You sound like the the Butler defenders talking about how he can keep up with Aaron Donald and we need to be patient.

Move Ickey to guard and be done with it. Panthers will be set at LG for a while.

The Huddle is going to huddle.... *You don't play at an elite level playing the second hardest Postion in football after 2.5 quarters of preseason football???!?* BUST

It's like all these kids should be pro bowlers from the jump.  It's ridiculous the expectations these fools place in these kids after less than a half combined in 2 preseason games.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
