Let’s talk some Ickey at LT

Just a rookie learning the ropes and taking his lumps.

If he's going to be our LT let him get in all the snaps this year because he'll be learning on the job.  This is my preference and I think the optimal decision.

If Rhule continues to be coach though I wouldn't be surprised to see Christensen at LT and Ickey slotted at LG.  This is a foolish move because it won't allow Ickey to develop and he's supposed to be a franchise LT at the draft position he was taken.

Honestly, Ickey only had two really bad plays today: 1) He completely blew a blitz pickup on a safety who shot to the inside of him untouched and got an easy sack on a big down and 2) He had an abhorrent false start on a 4th down attempt that resulted in us having to punt.

And tbh, file it under the completely unexpected but our biggest issues in pass pro appear to be between Elflein, Corbett, and Moton, but mostly Corbett and Moton.  Moton was complete ass today and Corbett has looked bad and easily replaceable for 2 weeks.

Would've thought the BC/Ickey side would be the one causing the most issues for us.  Nope.  It's the vets.  

We should just be glad that Thibodeaux didn't play.  We were getting embarrassed by fringe NFL guys.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
