He's like Derrick Brown strength at left tackle, we got a good one. Was so happy about that draft pick when it happened. 

I had the same thought, he loves to run along for the ride....for now on its something Im going to looking for. Most OLmen are about to red-line after 3 seconds, Not Ickey hes got a young mans 300 gallon diesel tank!!

One thing these LBs hate is getting the "tossed out the club" treatment.....film studies are brutal....

Icky was straight up awful the first couple of games and has flipped the switch. Honestly was worried we’d have to move him to guard.

Why?? youre a old school poster and should known hes a green rookie. Honestly this stuff is starting to piss me off, its taking some rookies 3 years before they find their barrings. You should know this. Why are the expectations for him so insanely high?? Panther got a recent example of this tossing fools around on the DL and others in history as well...

Because he was the #6 pick of the draft and we knew he had issues in pass pro. His strength is run blocking. And he was fuging awful. Like not just rookie green bad.  I never said icky needs to be moved to gaurd permanently but that it might be best for him to move to guard for the year and then try again at LT next year.

I'm not even kidding, I actually shed a little tear watching those highlights. It just hits deep because we all had to sit through the days of Byron Bell, Matt Khalil, Remmers, Chris Clark, and Erving 😰 WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LEGIT O-LINE AFTER ASKING FOR IT FOR NEARLY A DECADE!!!!!!

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
