What is Ekwonu doing here..?

[Smithers]

We drafted a guard at #6 overall.  

[CRA]

Icky frankly doesn’t fit a Bryce Young offense.  That’s the reality.    Goes back to pointlessly bringing back Rhule.  Meant you drafted Icky for an unknown offense.  And he fits an offense like Wilks ran.  Boring smash mouth, under center, running.  He is a run blocker at heart. 

[Carolina Cajun]

my guess, he thought chuba was picking up protection from the outside blocker thinking another guy was pushing his position.

The OL have the same players but different calls and style of play from last year so it's not going to be all smooth up front. 

Everyone is learning a new system so things will take some time.

This is true. It’s still scary to watch though lol

To answer the question: he's missing an assignment.

In time we can get him back but for my QBS life, I'll let him practice that.

It was him running the wrong assignment. He went for the same guy BC did originally then tried to recover. That is mental and doesn’t matter what position he is playing.

He was watching the linebacker from the beginning and it looked like he was trying to take the inside rusher, not realizing he was going to picked up.  Once he saw that he tried to take the outside too late.

[NAS]

Looks like he was expecting a stunt or something. The Jets messed him up mentally

Yeah that seemed pretty obvious even live.

Logical and correct answer. This is really all that needs to be said. It’s like a WR running the wrong route.

Honestly that looks mental which makes me feel better. Think he was trying to pickup the OLB (not sure why).That can get cleaned up, he wasn’t just straight up beat 1 on 1 

Yeah, makes me feel a lot more hopeful than Bozeman getting ragdolled about every 3rd play by Lawrence. That was rough.

[MechaZain]

 Think you can chalk some of this up to preseason. Everyone's still warming up their engines. He looks like he's running at half speed.

I noticed that last night too, and it was disconcerting.  The interior OL was getting whipped, and pressure up the gut is about the worst thing for a guy Bryce's size to have to deal with. 

Back when Brees was with the Saints it seemed like that FO would go out of its way to invest in guards, and for good reason.  They gave guys like Jahri Evans huge contract extensions and seemed to routinely bring in FAs like Ben Grubbs.
