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!!!!!!

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
