I mean, even Aaron Rodgers was giggling and had to go to his toes on the "sacks" they were counting in practice against our O.  Not sure we embarrassed them as bad was a painted here. 

We had our moments yeah, but it might of been understated how well the Jets dealt with our OL in practice simply because ESPN and the likes wanted to focus on Rodgers getting frustrated when we caused some problems.  

Aaron Rodgers went 3 and out in 11 on 11 without sacks. Keeping that offense from getting a first down isn’t “some problems” it’s a big one because they have o line issues too.

this. it was a damn practice game. it was our first. it was an evaluation. and it was against a team that felt it needed to have a win before winning actually matters.

the whole damn thing was basically a sucker punch. so congrats to the jets on their "win".

i hope y'all fall flat on your faces.

After watching Hard Knocks episode I want them to fail so badly.

I mean, the Panthers disrupting them was covered up on Hard Knocks.   They had a highlight clip of the Jets O imploding. 

the only point was, the Jets DL seemed to have no problem disrupting us in practice.  And that wasn't talked about much going into the game where they did the same thing.  People keep calling it gameplanning we weren't prepared for on Sat.  I disagree with that.  They were running simple stunts on Sat.  You practice that.  That's not gameplanning.  and they appeared to of done to some extent in practice too.   Which we struggled with then too.

Well our OL in practice featured Cam Erving getting beat like a drum by several different guys. Hopefully he doesnt have to see the field in the regular season. By all accounts we did much better in the practice sessions than in the game that the Jets schemed for and we didnt.

Ekwanu is no longer a rookie, he doesn’t need his hand held any more if he ever did. But he knows where to have his laundry done now and where to eat and where to get his sound system and rims and jewelry and has his financial advisor set. All that getting settled stuff. 

He needs NFL playing help now. I think probably quite a bit of it; he is moving into advanced pass blocking. I don’t know how much Erving is gonna help him with that. His value might be back to being more tied to his on field contributions.

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
