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

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.

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.

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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
